A Wodonga dog owner has vowed to take his legal battle over a $22.50 council fee all the way to the High Court.

Jeffrey Sill, 70, believes the council does not have the power to charge him for owning Eckles the Corgi.

His argument is that Wodonga Council's laws, and all others recognised under the constitution, are unlawful because the document was never signed by the Queen.

It was rejected in the Magistrates' Court in December 2015 but Sill appealed the verdict and $289 fine for not paying the dog fee when appearing in Wodonga County Court on Tuesday.
