    • 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 a question i hope people can advise me with

last month the rbs took 170 in charges. this left me with no funds in my account, i had to go 3 days with out eating, whilst i got money off my mum,

i phoned the bank and they got really horrible and went through the last 6months banking, which was very uncomfatable, in the end they said that there was nothing i would do , they didnt care if i couldnt eat or get to work(petrol) money, because i missed 4 days work i was down this month on wages.

 

i would like to take the rbs to court because they have broken my human rights act by leaving me with no money to eat, and i had to starve.

has this been done before?

i tried reading through the human rights act but found it very hard going

FOOD IS A HUMAN RIGHT

 

George Kent

ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS

Since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, human rights advocates have

focused most of their energy on civil and political rights. Now, in the second half-century of

post-World War II human rights advocacy, economic, social and cultural rights are gaining

increasing attention.

Economic, social and cultural rights include the right to an adequate standard of living. Article

25, paragraph 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights says:

Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-

being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical

care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of

unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of

livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

This was elaborated in article 11 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and

Cultural Rights. Paragraph 1 says:

The States Parties to the present Covenant recognize the right of everyone to an

adequate standard of living for himself and his family, including adequate food,

clothing and housing, and to the continuous improvement of living conditions.

The human right to adequate food is explicitly recognized as part of the broader human right to

an adequate standard of living. While the focus here is on food, we have much to learn from the

work that has emerged on health, education, housing, and other issues relating to an adequate

standard of living (see, for example, Hunt 1998; Kothari 1997; Leary 1994; Leckie 1989; Toebes

1998).

Individuals and organizations working to end hunger and malnutrition sometimes use the slogan

"food first". The concept expresses their feelings that the food issue should be given high

priority. However, it should be recognized that food and nutrition constitute just one of the

dimensions of adequate livelihood, and it would be inappropriate to argue that nutrition is more

important than, say, housing or education. All aspects of livelihood are interrelated, and should

be kept in balance (Eide 1995, p. 91).

The point may be clarified by asking: can the human right to adequate food be fulfilled by an

authoritarian regime?

It is certainly possible to assure that individuals' biological nutritional needs are fulfilled through

authoritarian measures. Even chained prisoners can have their minimum required daily

allowances of nutrients delivered to them. But fulfilling one’s need for food in the biological

sense is different from fulfilling one’s right to food. It is true that many human needs can be met

by authoritarian powers without consulting with the people. Certainly one can provide food for

individuals that will meet their basic nutrient requirements, as in a prison or an army. However,

if people have no chance to influence what and how they were being fed, if they are fed

prepackaged rations or capsules or are fed from a trough, their right to adequate food is not being

met, even if they get all the nutrients their bodies need. Serving pork to a Muslim prisoner would

violate his human rights, even if it contained the nutrients he needed.
