    • This is the other sign  parking sign 1a.pdf
    • 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.              
    • 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...

    • 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 to thank you I think it was you, discussing this very issue on another thread. I rang them up after reading your comment and found we qualify and the form arrived a couple of days ago. Just got to fill it in now.

 

My two kids have problems with their reading/dyslexic and they suggested it would be possible to get desktop with colored keys etc to help with the letters.

 

Daughter over the moon and said she could start to do homework online with the school, so we will keep fingers crossed.

this is a slow move from the government many other countrys have it in place already - never the less a good move in theory. hopefully it will be successful, unfortunatly it is only those i believe on low income or single parents only who qualify, no mention yet for the disabled who would greatly benefit from such actions.

 

p.s. who is paying for it and is the connection to the internet free?

Got the form in front of me, oh I have a panic just looking at forms. But from what I gather so far its aimed defiantely at the kiddies.

'You must be the adult responsible for the child you are applying for'

 

It also says first come first served so got to get it done rather than sit on the form like I tend to do.:)

The form is really easy to fill out. Just take your time and go through it. If you dont understand anything then there should be Guidance Notes that came with the application and you can refer to them. It didnt take me long to fill it out.

 

I phoned up for an application form on the the 18th of January, got the application on the 23rd of January, sent it back the same day, received my documents (proof of my Child Tax Credit and Child Benefit) back on the 30th of January and another letter saying i had been given the grant. I am now waiting for a Card so i can buy a laptop from one of the Approved Suppliers.

 

I already have a pc but it is very slow and a pain in the neck at times. My daughter will be able to use the laptop when i am on the pc and there will be no more arguments in my house.

 

If anyone wants a list of the Approved Suppliers then send me a PM and i will give you the links.

 

I gave my mum the phone number to get an application form but she forgot to phone them so i did it for her. She will have me filling the form out for her as usual.

when the application pack arrives they ask you for an up to date letter from child benefit, well at least one thats less then a year old.

We all know that child benefit didnt send out letters of entitlement in 2009 because the government changed uprating day.

so the last one that eveyone will be able to find is 2008, no good

child benefit have been illundated with requests for letters, so if you are thinking of applying get in quick and phone child benefit as soon as possible

next letter isnt due out to April 2010

 

Shouldnt the children sitting their GCSEs exams get it as well, up the age limit ?

who is paying for these laptops?

 

I believe it is the Government who are paying for it. Great idea. I thought i didnt qualify until i read it in my local paper.

 

Micky, i had no problem finding a Child Benefit letter. I didnt have my Child Benefit number handy when i applied for Child Tax Credit so i had to call them and they would only give me the number in writing. They were pretty quick sending it though. I kept the letter and used it when i had to apply for the Home Access Grant.

Yesterday I waited (rather wasted) 25 minutes on child benefit helpline 0845 302 1444 just to get a CHB ref no. but no joy. Then found a different number (geographical though) on saynoto0870 and someone was on the line right after the first ring.

MIKEY DABODEE you seem quite ignorant and flipant, you compare payments of laptops to payments of war. im sorry but i feel that is totally uncaring and out of order.

 

if it comes across like that to you then thats fine by me

 

my brother is serving out there and of course we support him and we are proud but I have my doubts to why he has to be there, but he has none

we just have the worry and the wait

 

its just nice to see money going on enjoyable things

My nephew is there as well Mickey and I feel the same. Lets hope they are home soon

 

 

I think the free laptops scheme is an excellent one, lets hope everyone who is entitled to it applies and are successful in their application.

 

It should be extended to Wales and Scotland as soon as possible, its only fair
