    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi there a good friend of mine is desperately looking for this book, he's been reccomended it by Workrep but he has searched to no avail for it, seems the 2nd edition is out of print and not available anywhere and the 3rd edition isn't available until the end of the year.

 

He needs the book before December, so does anyone have any ideas where he may get one from?

Try ebay - they ocassionally come up there. I have a copy but am reluctant to part with it even though I do have representation, because I am worried if the representation is withdrawn.

Thats why you have only been asked for four copies normally, I believe you will need six copies.

 

 

I am quite busy today but will try and see if I can offer some specific advice later. Looks to me that you have already won.

 

congrats

Hi bond1982 i'll try to pm you with an attachment of chapter 10 of the book scanned in. I'm sure Naomi Cunningham wouldn't mind especially if you donate a couple of quid to the FRU. The book is 429 pages and I have sent you 21 pages. Sorry for the low quality of the scan - this is to keep the filesize small.

 

I'll try an give you a more help soon.

Hi rebel11,

 

thanks for your advice, in this case though there is no respondent as the company is insolvent, so I will be in the hearing with just the judge!

 

Hi

Firstly if the company is insolvent, are you really likely to get anything?

 

ET Claims advises what you can do (pg 314).

 

Here's a link to the judgement on Aziz v CPS remedies, which may be of help, (but it may be a bit too complex, if your loss is simple to assess)

 

http://www.bindmans.com/fileadmin/bindmans/user/Press__judgements/Aziz_v_CPS_-_Reserved_Judgment_September_2008.pdf

 

Also Employment 2006: law and practice ... - Google Books

 

gives some guidance on the vento case where bands were set for what is considered to be appropriate awards for 'injury to feelings' in discriminations cases. Also look at (particularly paragraph 65)

Chief Constable of West Yorkshire v Vento [2002] EWCA Civ 1871, Court of Appeal on 22nd December 2002, reported at [2003] ICR 318, CA (also reported at [2003] IRLR 102).

You may be able to claim direct to your local RPO via the national insurance fund on form RP1

 

See Your rights if your employer is insolvent : Directgov - Employment

 

and RP1 here:
