    • 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.              
    • Unless I've got an incorrect copy of the relevant regulation: The PCN is only deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch "unless the contrary is proved" in which case date of delivery does matter (not just date of posting) and I would like clarification of the required standard of proof. It seems perhaps this hasn't been tested. Since post is now barcoded for the Post Office's own tracking purposes perhaps there is some way I can get that evidence from the Post Office...
    • I would say You should accept it - I HIGHLY doubt you will  be able to claim for letters at trial ans they’re offering you that, which is higher monetary value than interest.   Also they raise a good point, getting interest at anything above 4% is lucky these days, yes judges give it, but rarily above 4%   Also you might find depending on the judge  you don’t get some costs if you take it all the way over £7.40 when court woukdnt award letters costs and thus meaning their award would be less than evris offer which was made    Up to you though but the wait will be 3-4mo for a trial date at least
    • Hi Folks, Been 162 days! Just by way of update. Today I received a text from Opos Ltd so no doubt Capquest are renting the debt out to anybody who fancies a nibble. Safe to say I will not be responding.

    • 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.

What an ill thought out and badly worded peition.

 

Do we ban all tractors, even those in the most rural areas, and those that only need to travel a few hundred yards from one field to another.

 

Seems that whoever's dumb idea this was should have put a little more time and effort into the wording of this, as this petition in it's current looks like the work of a primary school student.

All these points have been raised on another forum I am a member on

 

The facts are-

 

1.they don't pay road tax

 

2.they run on rebated diesel

 

3.because of the above,they are limited in the distance they are allowed to travel from their farm

 

4.they disregard point 3

 

5.they insist on driving into towns at the busiest times of the day with enormous queues behind them-and almost invariably refuse to pull over to let people past when the opportunity arises

 

6.I don't see many fields or cows in the centre of towns

 

 

the fact is they are just too lazy to change their wellies to let them get into their cars when they want to go somewhere-so they cause traffic jams by using their John Deere-and they are probably running their cars on rebated diesel as well.....

That would make a little more sense than the sad excuse of a petition currently being offered, although I think it would be hard work condensing all relevant facts into one petition

 

I did not say I disagree with the issue, but how do you expect it to be take seriously with the current text.

 

Your post, however, is a bit like tarring them all with the same brush, and I am sure you will agree not all Tractor drivers act the way you describe, that is just silly.

Good idea for tactors, it stops all the boy racers getting flashed and then complaining they got 6 points for doing 90mph on a speed limit of 70 mph.

Foot

Right

Off

Gas.

 

Save yourself some brass and no points on your licence.

How about banning City dwellers from country roads during

 

Lambing Season

Planting Season

Harvest time

 

and then the city dwellers with rural retreats as second homes would never be able to pollute the country side:rolleyes: at weekends, and then maybe farmers and their families could afford a house near where they work

 

If you want to ban something get rid of Caravans

its bizzar the things people will think of when bored

this falls into the catagory of ban cockrels from crowing.

yes i hate being behind them and caravans too but its life,get used to it,take a chill pill or just move to the city

I`ve never seen a tractor in the middle of liverpool or any other major city

but i do drive a milk float and i`ve had people shouting at me for not going fast enough tho i`m flat out at the time

Another one is shouting get your brake lights fixed.DUH it doesn`t go fast enough to need to use the brakes

Life`s too fast sloooooooooooooooooow down,leave earlier whatever it takes

What is it that makes some people blame other road users for delays, when the main cause of delays is.....cars. Not horses, bikes, tractors, buses but miles of stationary cars in line. Not a lot of point trying to drive at high speed when at the next village, the serious hold-ups begin and the average speed is horse and cart era!:D

The law states that agricultural vehicles using Red Diesel may legally be used on the public road when travelling from one part of the owner's land to another part of the same owners land. The maximum milage allowed being 8 miles per week.

 

What is needed, is for this legislation to be enforced.

 

The OP and I live in N.Ireland, where agribusiness and those involved in it have an apparently untouchable god-like status.

 

Ive seen tractors being used as a shopping vehicle, with a grumpy looking sod sat in the driving seat, with a roll up fag hanging out of the corner of his mouth and the missus on the outside of the cab, clutching Sainsburys bags leaving the aforementioned supermarket!

think the police have more important things to do than arrest some farmer cos he`s doing too many miles using pink diesel

the amount of people who bothered to sign this petition would seem to indicate how important it is in the great sceme of things if its not tractors it would be caravans or milk floats or other people driving their cars too slowly.

some people will always want to go faster than the person in front

people should plan their journey time better to account for such things

every morning i see them on their way to work some actually try to get as close to me as they possibly can cos i have the gall to be driving a milkfloat down the road and slowing them down on their rush to work,one day i had two bottles of milk knocked out of my hands by someone`s door mirror so you can imagine how close they got and in my two years of doing the job i have had to pick up more squashed family pets than i can count.

people need to slow down cos there will always be something that gets in their way and one day it will,and no doubt has been on occasion a person who`s life they will take all in the name of getting there quicker

SC- you live in Liverpool and clearly have no idea of the road system in N.Ireland and the insane delays caused by selfish bumpkins bouncing along on 70 year old Fordsons and wee grey Fergies! :eek:

 

 

(And they only only use them because they dont know how to operate the traction engine, which is quietly rusting away in the barn!)
