    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • 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.

Can I be ticketed for parking in front of my own drive on the dropped kerb?

I haven't been, but just wondered if I could be?

 

I would say yes Jamie , because you would be causing an obstruction to the general public on a pavement meant for pedestrians

The pavement would be the property of the local council even although you have went to the expense of dropping the kerbs to gain access to your property .

Im sure the OP said he was parked ON the dropped kerb .

 

Anyway here`s the answer to his question ...

From 1 June 2009, as a result of Regulations made under the Traffic

Management Act 2004, all councils in England and Wales have powers to

introduce blanket Special Enforcement Areas covering vehicles that park on

dropped kerbs or double-park without a requirement to provide specific traffic

signs or road markings. These Regulations do not apply to Scotland

regulations.

 

and this from DIRECTGOV...

244

 

You MUST NOT park partially or wholly on the pavement in London, and should not do so elsewhere unless signs permit it. Parking on the pavement can obstruct and seriously inconvenience pedestrians, people in wheelchairs or with visual impairments and people with prams or pushchairs.

 

[Law GL(GP)A sect 15]

 

 

 

regards

I think the OP means parking on the road, in front of the dropped kerb which presumably only provides access to his own driveway. In which case the answer would be no.

 

The council/police would generally only enforce on a dropped kerb which has been dropped to allow pedestrian/wheelchair access on or off the roadway. To enforce on a dropped kerb which only allows access to a private drive the council/police would normally require a complaint from the homeowner that their drive was blocked, and even then, they may not get any help unless they are trapped inside their drive unable to get off, (in which case the police could class it as obstruction as you can no longer go about your lawful business).

 

If you are trapped outside your property then that is "unfortunate", but is not stopping you from going about your business.

Unless of course there is a restricion there, the exemption does not apply if there is a yellow line.

True G&M, but I don't think the OP would have asked the question in the fashion he did if there was a yellow line outside his house. But for the perpose of clarity, it would help if the OP could be more specific about the circumstances. i.e. does he mean parking on the road or on the pavement? Are there any lines (be they yellow or white zigzags)? Is the dropped kerb for his drive only or is it a shared entrance? etc

I only added it as I know of a couple of occasions when people have thought they could even on a single yellow, daft I know but it happens!

lots of exceptions to the prohibition whereby you can block your own dropped kerb - and so can others that you have given permission to.

 

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/18/section/86

 

G&M must have forgotten to balance his yellow line comment with something that would inform and assist you so I have balanced it for you.

Talking rubbish again are we?? If there is a yellow line none of your wonderful exemptioms apply so how does that balance anything out? If you insist on having a childish dig at me at least try reading the thread properly first before posting garbage. We have already established the OP can park on his own drop kerb I was just being helpful and warning him it did not apply if there was a yellow line but of course that is in some way not helping anyone in your strange warpred mind!

Below are extracts from the Nottingham City Council website relating to dropped-kerbs which may be of interest.

Other Councils may/may not have a similar service in place.

 

.........citizens will also be able to contact Parking Services for help if a vehicle is blocking a dropped crossing prevent them getting on / or off their own property.

 

If a vehicle is blocking my drive what do I do?

1) If your driveway or home is blocked by a vehicle parked over a dropped crossing, please call Parking Services hotline on: (0115) 915 6655 to complain.

2) Parking Services will need to see if a Civil Enforcement Officer is available to attend.

3) A Civil Enforcement Officer will need to see a vehicle parked over a dropped crossings for 20 minutes, checking that the property has the correct dropped kerb and recording details of the vehicle parked and those of the person who is complaining.

4) A Penalty Charge Notice (fine) will be issued and the vehicle could be towed away.

 

I wonder if this is a 24/7 service....., personally I doubt it.

HI,

 

Apologies, v busy weekend.

 

Kerb dropped outside my house for my own access only onto driveway.

 

There is a single yellow line on the road where my kerb is dropped to restrict parking between certain hours.

 

Was just wondering that, outside the restricted times, if someone were to be arsey (like I know them to be) and they were to phone up and complain someone was blocking their driveway (when in fact it is my car outside my own dropped kerb) - could I be ticketed for parking over my own drive?

 

You may be wondering why the hell am I parking on the roadside instead of on the drive now the kerb has been lowered? Simples... the council c0cked up bad and haven't been back to fix the mess they have made of the dropped kerb/tarmacing and so for the mean time I am stuck to parking on the roadside still.

 

Thanks for your responces. Very helpful.

Technically you can get a PCN which you would then have to appeal and would as the householder get cancelled but most Councils check the complaint against the electoral role to cut down the chances of someone trying it on, obviously if they pretended to be you that would not work. At the end of the day if its outside hours of the SYL you can park there if its a residential address and you live there if you do get a PCN for some unlikely reason it would ultimately get cancelled.

Cheers G&M.

The garage over the road scares me, had plenty run ins with them already for parking their cars in front of house etc and with this dropped kerb I have taken 2 spaces away from them - hence the hypothetical scenario - thanks for clearing up.

.....not forgetting an appeal for the refund of the paid PCN AND the towing charge in the event that the vehicle is towed away.

Just balancing your imagined yellow line (turns out there was one ! but that was unknown at the time)

but the yellow line issue IF it existed had at had been agreed earlier in the thread.

 

(you failed to mention if it was red route :) or a DYL :) :) )

 

what wasn't in the thread was the full information for the exemptions.

Links to the complete legislation are now 'rubbish' are they

 

and you accuse me of having a 'strange warped mind'.

 

too touchy by far G&M. Just try to balance things out a tad. This is a help forum.

 

and stay cool.
