    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • Please provide advice on the following situation: I rented out my property to four students for 16 months until March 2024. Initially, the property was in very good condition, but now it needs extensive renovation. This includes redoing the bathroom, replacing the kitchen, removing wallpaper, and redecorating due to significant mould growth. The tenants also left their furniture on the grass, which is owned by the local authority. As a landlord, I've met all legal requirements. It seems the damage was caused by poor ventilation—windows were always closed, and heating wasn't used. There was also a bathroom leak fixed by reapplying silicone. I tried to claim insurance, but it was denied, citing tenant behaviour as the cause by looking at the photos, which isn't covered. The deposit barely covers the repair costs, or else I'll have to pursue money claims, which I've never done before and am unsure about its legal complications or costs. Any thoughts on this?

    • 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.

I have an interview tommorrow with the job centre, in place of my usual sign in.

I don't really understand what this is and I'm a little nervous:(

 

It tells me to bring evidence of job searching so I've printed out all the email responses I have received confirming jobs I've applied for and, in the rare instances when someone has been courteous enough to let me know my application has been unsuccessful, some rejection emails too.

 

I've been trying really hard to find work but, with the state of things at the moment and the fact that my job is quite a specific one, I am still unemployed after 3 months :(

 

I'm really unsure as to what will happen and I'm really worried about them stopping my allowance.

Does anyone know what it's about? Can they stop my allowance for no reason?

 

Help!

My guess is this is simply a three month review. The evidence of applications, and also refusals, is a good move on your part, and shows willing.

 

However, my guess is also that they will develop an action plan for the next three months, something that you agree between you is do-able. You say your skills set is quite specific, so they may try to widen the range for you...after six months they will expect you to have got some work, even if it is only part time.

 

If you are keen to make yourself available only for your specialised areas, you could consider voluntary work - this often gives you some grace period whilst searching for the perfect job. It also acts to keep you in the work environment, so certain skills are maintained.

 

The interview should not be overly harsh, but you will need to demonstrate a certain level of willing and flexibility. Good luck.

Thank you!

To what extent will they want to widen my range? :(

I'd hate to get shoved onto a supermarket checkout or something, I've been doing the job for 5 years and am good at it, it's just a terrible time for jobs in general.

I've started looking at a few jobs I don't really want to do- such as PA/reception work, but only on a part time basis so that I could carry on my job search (I've tried job hunting whilst working full time before and it's virtually impossible) should I tell them that I've been doing this? or will they use it as an excuse to shove me into any old PA role?

Part time work will be fine, as long as it is portrayed as willing and reasonable - 4 hours on a Saturday afternoon will not be entertained, but maybe three afternoons a week will be.

 

They understand that you really want the specialist job, but they want to see that you are not using it, or its unavailability, as an excuse for not working at all. It is all about being reasonable. Yes, they may have three afternoons a weeks stacking shelves in the supermarket available, but they will also argue that this leaves you ample time to continue job searching.

It went well I suppose :rolleyes:

It wasn't as scary as I was expecting (noone told me off, stopped my money or tried to force me into some shelf stacking job!;))

 

I was lucky I think as the person I was scheduled to see was off sick and so I met with my initial advisor who is a very lovely old man.

He seemed shocked and impressed with all the work I'd put into my job search and all the supporting evidence I'd bought with me (a huge depressing stack of email application confirmations and rejection emails :sad:)

 

My other worry (besides being forced to spend the rest of my life working at Nettos) was an events role I'd seen on the Job Centre website which, on the surface, seemed perfect for me, I was quite excited until I looked at the employers website :eek:- not the kind of place I see myself...

 

Anyway. The general outcome of the meeting was that I will carry on pretty much as I have been doing.

The advisor even said imself that the 13 week meeting is pointless as there's "nothing he can do for me until I've been unemployed for at least 6 months" :(

I asked what he could do if it had been 6 months and he mentioned a few training schemes which I think were similar to an apprenticeship (though with my level of experience I'm not sure they'd take me anyway),] I said I'd really like to try that as there's so little work out there but he said that "government regulations" mean that he isn't even able to put me forward until it's been 6 months :(

 

The area that I live is consdered "affluent" apparently (they should come and visit the estate where I live! they

ll soon see that's rubbish!) and so there is no Princes Trust help available.

 

I have 5 years experience, a cv which I'm constantly told is "fantastic" and yet I can't even get an interview anywhere :(

This recession thing is driving me mad:mad:

  • 6 months later...

I just found this forum after looking for some relief from the horrific 3 month review I had two weeks ago. I sat down expecting to be helped widen my search with new ideas and an urge towards applying for things outside digital design, like graphic design or even just plain office work.

 

To my horror, the guy told me flat out that office work is out of the question and that I have to choose between the 3C's - Caring, Catering, or Cleaning and made me chose one. What!? I mean, I've had back problems my whole life and i've struggled and worked hard through university and job promotions so that I can work from a desk. This aside, their's no way I could afford to pay my medical expenses and bills working in one of those careers and I wouldn't be able to stick them anyway. I struggled to make rent, council tax etc on 20K and I know from my experience bar working that i end up swallowing hand fulls of ibuprofen and hating my life.

 

I've been forced into a situation now that I look like they'll probably cut me off tomorrow (they're giving me 30 pound a week). What matters most is that we have high rent which they cover most of. I think i could get some freelance work but that means i'd lose all help (which took 3months to start). I'm stuck in a position where if i take on a weeks freelance work i could end up with no benefits and out of work again, waiting another 3 months to get any aid back again.
