Yes Council Tax arrears can be included in the bankruptcy which have accrued up to the date of the bankruptcy order. If the Council already have a liability order, then the whole amount covered by the order can also be included.

Absolutely - but until the bankruptcy order is made there is nothing to stop the bailiffs from continuing with action against your sister I am afraid.
