    • 4 means that they need to name and then tell the people who will be affected that there has been an application made, what the application relates to (specificially "whether it relates to the exercise of the court’s jurisdiction in relation to P’s property and affairs, or P’s personal welfare, or to both) and what this application contains (i.e what order they want made as a result of it) 5 just means that teh court think it is important that the relevant people are notified 7 means that the court need more information to make the application, hence they have then made the order of paragraph 1 which requires the applicant to do more - this means the court can't make a decision with the current information, and need more, hence paragraph one of the order is for the applicant to do more. paragraph 3 of the order gives you the ability to have it set aside, although if it was made in january you are very late. Were you notiifed of the application or not?    
    • These are the photos of the signs. At the entrance there is a 7h free sign. On some bays there is a permit sign.  Also their official website is misleading as it implies all parking is free.  I can't be certain of the exact parking bay I was in that day, and there was no PCN ticket on my car and no other evidence was provided.  parking sign 2.pdf
    • Hi, In my last post I mentioned I had received an email from SS who were asking me to hand over the keys to my mother’s flat so they could pass them to the Law firm who have been appointed court of protection to access, secure and insure my mother’s property.  Feeling this, all quickly getting out of my hands I emailed ss requesting proof of this. I HAVEN’T HEARD BACK FROM SS.  Yesterday, I received an email (with attached court of protection order) from the Law Firm confirming this was correct (please see below a copy of this).  After reading the court of protection order I do have some concerns about it:   (a)   I only found out yesterday, the Law firm had been appointed by the court back in January.  Up until now, I have not received any notification regarding this.  (b)   Section 2   - States I am estranged from my mother.  This is NOT CORRECT    The only reason I stepped back from my mother was to protect myself from the guy (groomer) who had befriended her & was very aggressive towards me & because of my mother’s dementia she had become aggressive also.  I constantly tried to warned SS about this guy's manipulative behaviour towards my mother and his increasing aggressiveness towards me (as mentioned in previous posts).  Each time I was ignored.  Instead, SS encouraged his involvement with my mother – including him in her care plans and mental health assessments.   I was literally pushed out because I feared him and my mother’s increasing aggression towards me. Up until I stepped back, I had always looked after my mother and since her admission to the care home, I visit regularly.   .(c)    Sections -  4, 5 and 7  I am struggling to understand these as I don’t have a legal background.  I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to explain what they mean.  It’s been a horrendous situation where I had to walk away from my mother at her most vulnerable because of; ss (not helping), scammer and groomer. I have no legal background, nor experience in highly manipulative people or an understanding of how the SS system operates, finding myself isolated, scared and powerless to the point I haven’t collected my personal belongings and items for my mother’s room in the care home.  Sadly, the court has only had heard one version of this story SS’s, and based their decision on that. My mother’s situation and the experience I have gone through could happen to anyone who has a vulnerable parent.    If anyone any thoughts on this much appreciated.  Thank you. ______________________________________________________  (Below is the Court of Protection Order)  COURT OF PROTECTION                                                                                                                                                                                   No xxx  MENTAL CAPACITY ACT 2005 In the matter of Name xxx ORDER Made by  Depty District Judge At xxx Made on xxx Issued on 18 January 2024  WHEREAS  1.     xxx Solicitors, Address xxx  ("Applicant”) has applied for an order under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.  2.     The Court notes (my mother) is said to be estranged from all her three children and only one, (me) has been notified.  3.     (Me) was previously appointed as Atorney for Property and Affairs for (my mother).  The Exhibity NAJ at (date) refers to (me) and all replacement Attorneys are now officially standing down.  4.     Pursuant to Rule 9.10 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 and Practice Direction 9B the Applicant 2must seek to identify at least three persons who are likely to have an interest in being notified that an application has been issues.”  The children of (my mother), and any other appointed attorneys are likely to have an interest in the application, because of the nature of relationship to (my mother).  5.     The Court considers that the notification requirements are an important safeguard for the person in respect of whom an order is sought.  6.     The Court notes that it is said that the local authority no longer has access to (my mother’s) Property.  7.     Further information is required for the Court to determine the application.  IT IS ORDERED THAT  Within 28 days of the issue date this order, the Applicant shall file a form COP24 witness statement confirming that the other children of (my mother) and any replacement attorneys have been notified of the application and shall confirm their name, address, and date upon which those persons were notified.  If the Applicant wishes the Court to dispense with any further notification, they should file a COP9 and COP24 explaining, what steps (if any) have been taken to attempt notification and why notification should be dispensed with.   Pending the determination of the application to appoint a deputy for (my mother), the Applicant is authorised to take such steps as are proportionate and necessary to access, secure and insure the house and property of (my mother).   This order was made without a hearing and without notice.  Any person affected by this order may apply within 21 days of the date on which the order was served to have the order set aside or varied pursuant to Rule 13.4 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 (“the Rules”).  Such application must be made on Form COP9 and in accordance with Part 10 Rules.

    • 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 All,

 

I need some advice. I have been suspended from work on full pay yesterday and am 13 weeks pregnant.

 

My suspension is not an accusation of guilt but according to the letter my employer has provided is required in order for them to undertake an investigation.

 

I work in a telesales role selling advertising space which requires 3 hours on the phone per day and the allegation is that I have phoned a paticular telephone number which does not relate to my work in order to achieve the minimum target above.

 

For the last 7 weeks due to tiredness and lack of support in the work place i have not achieved this target anyway and the allegation about abuse or falsification of call records is completely unfounded.

 

Since I notified my employer of pregnancy they have given me paid time off for maternity appointments, however, the owner of the company and a number of male colleagues have treated me with contempt on returning from these appointments and also from sickness leave I have taken, various comments have been made about p*** taking. On one occasion (my 1st appt with my midwife, conducted at home) I had an appointment with my midwife at 9am, she did not turn up until gone 10am and the appointment continued till 11:30am at which time I went straight to work and then at 12:30 ( when my normal everyday lunch hour starts) I asked a colleague to bring me a sandwich so I could eat at my desk and catch up on some work, although I feel I could have taken my lunch my boss/owner reprimanded me for eating any lunch and said i should have had something at home whilst waiting for the midwife??????

 

On another occasion I arrived in work slightly late due to headache and morning sickness & had not managed any breakfast so at 11am felt my blood sugar levels had dropped and felt slightly dizzy so a female colleague offered me half a sandwich which took me less than a minute to eat. I was then asked by a male colleague not even responsible for managing me if I was intending to take an early lunch as I had eaten something, as i tried to explain why I had eaten something, the person in question said this was a prime example of p*** taking which was then backed up by another male colleague.

 

My employer has never been in a position where one of his employees has been pregnant and I feel like I am being managed out the company due to my pregnancy and the difficulties I have been experiencing so far.

 

Can anyone help?????

Suspension on full pay is perfectly legal. You should begin to keep a diary of events. You may well have grounds for a sex discrim claim. Any claim would need to be brought within 3 months of the act complained off or last act of discim if you can link them.

 

You could consider submitting a grievance, but it may be best to await the outcome of the investigation.

This sounds like they are attemptingto force u out of your job and if they continue to behave in this way then u will have grounds for constructive dismissal like nat says.

 

I am discusted the way you have been treated especially whilest pregnant as there are rules on this. During pregnancy they have to allow you reasonable extra breaks during the day, like extra loo breaks and extra breaks due to need a drink or something to eat especially if you have been suffering with morning sickness.

 

Your boss repremanding you for eating at your desk after your late midwifes appointment u would have been entitled to ur normal break and just because you had a appointmnt does not mean ur not entitled to ur normal breaks. Would he have repremanded u if u need the loo?

 

The comments about you taking the p*** over the extra time off and leve due to not feel to goo is horrid. I would make a formaal complaint to someone higher than your boss.

 

I would give CAB a ring to find out what solicitors in your area specialise in employment law and seek there advise.

How long have you been employed with the Company? I take it you ahve made them aweare of your condition? Its not only discriminatory, but it also sounds like jealousy from the male counterparts as you will be entitled to legal paid time off work, whereas they are not. Are you a Union member? If not, I would get in touch with HR to let them know of the situation before it gets any worse, as you should not be subjescted to such treatment, it can be negative on your health and your baby, and if HR are worth their salt, they will nip this in the bud! Do not attend any meetins without someone attending with you.

Regarding the comments about your pregnancy and early lunches etc. This is actually sex discrimination. Try getting in touch with the Equal Opportunities Commision (I believe they are now known as "Equality and Human Rights Commission) here is their website: Equality and Human Rights Commission - home page

 

Also give ACAS a shot, here: Acas - How can we help?

 

The Equal Opps folks are fab they are brimming with case studies on how the unfair treatment of pregnant women can be constituted as sex discrimination, and cases where women discriminated against have won tribunals.

 

Also, have a look at The health and safety executive's guide on new and expectant mothers: Health and safety for new and expectant mothers

 

Discrimination against pregnant employees is a very serious offence, which tribunals take a dim view of. Most employers have no idea regarding the rights of expectant mothers.

My advice is based on my opinion, my experience and my education. I do not profess to be an expert in any given field. If requested, I will provide a link where possible to relevant legislation or guidance, so that advice provided can be confirmed and I do encourage others to follow those links for their own peace of mind. Sometimes my advice is not what people necesserily want to hear, but I will advise on facts as I know them - although it may not be what a person wants to hear it helps to know where you stand. Advice on the internet should never be a substitute for advice from your own legal professional with full knowledge of your individual case.

 

 

Please do not seek, offer or produce advice on a consumer issue via private message; it is against

forum rules to advise via private message, therefore pm's requesting private advice will not receive a response.

the person in question said this was a prime example of p*** taking

In case you need to take this further, keep a detailed diary of every such incident (no matter how minor) with date, time and persons present. A pattern will emerge and this is the kind of thing an industrial tribunal will want to look at.

 

In fact, if you can document everything you have mentioned in your posts, it's a fair bet that the equal opportunities commission would take your case on, although your union would normally do this for you.

Good luck.

  • 3 weeks later...

I have now been dismissed from work and have just filed a formal appeal letter with the company before it goes to tribunal. My union rep based on the case I have presented so far is confident we will have a positive outcome when this finally reaches ET stage. Thanks again everyone.
