    • Your page numbers should run through your WX and exhibits so im concerned its page x of 9.
    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.

    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)

    • 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 I have been to Atos Medical today with regards to incapacity benefit I get for being signed off with anxiety and depression. I think the doctor seemed to be on my side and guided me for relevant points.

 

I am now in a complete state of panic about it all though and main question how long should it take now until I am told whether I pass or failed the test and whether my incapacity benefit will go on ????

 

Thanks in advance for any response

Mine took a week to come through and I was told I only scored 12 out the 15 points needed to qualify for the benefit. Basically if you fail you have to appeal to see if the DWP will reconsider. If you pass you get onto the higher rate of ESA.

My experience with the Atos medical wasn't too pleasant. All they seemed interested in was getting me back to work even though I have really bad anxiety and depression. Nevertheless I'm just about to appeal to the DWP to reconsider.

Good luck hope it goes well!

All the past pca IB50 meds are now ESA wca meds. and its a nightmare by all accounts i will be going through this next march so i have a year to try and deal with the changeover i hope the new system will be better by then.

My advice is based on my opinion and my experience. It is not to be taken as legal advice as I am not legally qualified

It's a nightmare having to go through this, I know firsthand as I'm having to appeal to get my ESA by missing out on just 3 measly points!

This sites definately helpful though as you'll realise your not the only one who's going through it.

Should it come to the worst and you don't get enough points to pass your medical, stand your ground and appeal like I am. It can't harm, I'm certainly not giving up.

They really aren't interested in peoples illness they just want to get you back to work when the reality is a lot of people are genuinely ill and are failing this medical when they should be on ESA.

I also suffer from anxiety and depression and I know how you feel, all this commotion just adds extra stress that you don't need.

You never know you might just pass the medical :)

It well might be ib50 but think it will now be esa50 and then a medical in a few weeks time of filling in that form.

good luck were thinking of you.:-)

As far as iam aware if you were sent an IB50 form to fill in then your medical will be under the IB rules of PCA.So not under the current ESA rules.

I am on long term IB and have just completed IB50 form so if i get called for a medical it will be under the PCA rules and not ESA.

 

As far as iam aware claimants of IB are not due to be migrated to ESA until Oct 2010 onwards.

Hi, what is the difference between the two rules. I know on esa it means basically got to be dead before pass the medical;) But the IB50 which is what I did as well and eventually I suppose will have a medical, is there much difference. Or thinking out loud is the difference that they have to take medical evidence into consideration for the latter?

In my experience it's two and a half years between medicals.

 

For all I know it could vary a lot.

Benefits rules are complex, and although I do try to inform and support people, I may get it wrong because the rules apply to individual claimants and their particular circumstances.
