The person named on a bill is not always liable to pay. Sometimes only one person is actually named on a bill, even if several people signed the notice requiring a supply or the contract or no one signed anything. For example, suppliers sometimes ask outgoing occupiers the names of the next occupiers. You may find that your name is on a bill without you ever having had any contact with the supplier. A person who is named on the bill has sole liability for the bill if s/he alone gave written notice requiring a supply or s/he alone made a phone request for the supply or other authorised and recognised means to acknowledge liability. Otherwise, the name on the bill is only evidence of who might be liable.
