    • Should this to be take into court with him or should he send something in earlier?

    • 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.

    • 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 stupidly forgot to sign-on last Wednesday (1st of June) I was at a review the week before and I mistakenly thought I was to sign next Wednesday, when I was updating my job search diary I realised, I was over due to sign on, I tried phoning them but they where closed. I will phone on Monday and plead my case of confusion about the review and signing-on, going by this on the internet, I will probably have to attend a interview and lose a weeks benefit. Does this make me the Muppet of the week. lol

 

My wife lost her carer's allowance as she got a wage rise and went £3 odds over the £100 limit, as I am signing-on I decided to claim the carer's and take over the care of our disabled son, as I only get £6.30 per week CJSA, and I assume I will lose this amount from the carer's, so the question is :-

 

Would I be better to sign-off and claim the £31 carer's premium on top of the carer's allowance.

Now i am confused, can you explain.

 

I was under the guise that what ever I get from carer's, minus my jsa,,,, ie, jsa £6.30, carer's £55.55, so in total I would get £49.25 from carer's or do I sign off and claim carer's only and the carer's premium.

 

From the carer's/directgov website,,,,

 

How much do you get?

The weekly rate is £55.55. This is reduced by the amount of certain other benefits, including State Pension, that you get.

If you receive certain other benefits at £55.55 or more a week, you won't get Carer's Allowance as well.

OK now I understand, so I should sign off from jsa and then claim the carer's premium along with the carer's allowance.

 

I will phone the carer's number on Monday and confirm with them what what I should do.

 

Thanks for all of your help.

Not true sorry. You can claim carers allowance and still claim for Job Seekers Allowance. As long as you are caring for someone 35 hours per week (which could purely include nights and sleeping times) and you are still actively seeking and available to take employment you can continue to claim JSA.

The only problem is that you state you are receiving £6.30 JSA. Do you have another form of income to reduce your contribution based JSA for example a pension? You receive JSA © so you will also be affected by the overlapping benefits ruling which could mean that you would receive either JSA or Carers Allowance as you cannot receive a contribution based and carers allowance together so you need to consider which of the two benefits is best suited to your circumstances.

Hi flumps,

 

I receive income based jsa and with the wife working part-time I receive £6.30 jsa,

 

Yes I am still seeking work and I do care for our son, He is a 20 year old man with downs syndrome (he cannot tie is shoe laces, so yes a lot of caring)

 

When I was working (night shift), I was the daytime carer and the wife was his night time carer, and when I get employment, I will more than likely lose the carer's allowance, unless I get a job paying less than £100.

 

cheers

Thebigdaddy sorry I thought I read in you original post £6.30 CJSA.

 

Should be no problem with you receiving the carers allowance, how many hours is your wife working now? Not sure if you could possibly change in the short term to Income Support until you find employment that fits in around your caring responsibilities. If you wife works under 24 hours per week then you can consider transferring to Income Support and you can continue to look for work but without the ties of a Job Seekers Agreement and the fortnightly visits to sign on.

 

You would only get the £31 carer premium either through your Job Seekers Allowance claim (this would have been payable to your wife as she was a carer on the claim and therefore entitled to receive that as part of your joint award) or through a claim to income support.

Hi flumps

 

The wife works 12.5 hours, and yes we do receive the carer's premium just now but they reduce my IJSA accordingly, I will phone the carer's number on Monday and discuss this with them and I will probably sign off, claim full carer's allowance and the carer's premium. Does this mean I don't have to phone the jobcentre and confess myself as a Muppet for the confusion about my sign-on day :-D

 

Thanks for all of your help.

 

I will come back Monday and let you all know how I got on.

 

cheers

If you don't contact the Jobcentre to arrange to go in to sign on Monday then your claim will be closed on Thursday morning marked as failed to sign and you will not receive any further payments of JSA.

My advice to you is to do as follows.

Contact your JCP office on Monday and sign late and complete the relevant paperwork giving your reason for not attending on your required day (Weds 1st June) you may receive a letter explaining that a doubt has arisen on your claim as you failed to attend on your correct signing day (this is a standard procedure and depends on the reasons for not attending and if good cause can be established or not by the Team Leader in you JCP office).

Obtain and complete the claim for for carers allowance, http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Diol1/DoItOnline/DG_4017542 this link means you can either aply directly on line or download and print off the form. Inform the JCP office when you attend that you are claiming for carers allowance and ask for a meeting with your adviser to alter your Job Seekers Agreement due to the change in your household circumstances (you may get a same day appointment or an appointment for a futture date).

I would continue with the claim for Job Seekers Allowance until the Carers Allowance is actually awarded to you as if you closed your claim now Income Support could not apy you anything until the decision to pay carers allowance is made which would mean no help with prescription costs for you or your wife, no he4lp with housing costs as they would be suspeneded until the decision is made so it is far easier to continue as you are currently, the carers premium will continue on your JSA claim so your entitlement should not end and your JSA would actually increase as there will be no carers allowance to reduce your JSA award.

I hope this makes sense if not shout and I'll try again.

Hi flumps,

 

The carer's allowance as been award 31 may but I do not get a payment till 4 july, as they need to contact my local jobcentre and confirm my jsa payments. backdated to 2 may (start of claim)

 

I will do as you have said I will contact jobcentre Monday and plead my moment of madness and hope they continue jsa if I lose some because of my mistake then so be it, it was my fault. And I will speak to a adviser and see how they wish to proceed with the jsa and carer's.

 

Thanks for all of your help.

Good luck for tomorrow, with luck you can get an appointment through to sort out your new temporary Job Seekers Agreement. Although as ther carers has been awarded from 31 May you could discuss closing your claim nfor JSA now and claiming IS as the Carers Allowance award has been made so there is no reason that they can't process the IS claim. Any problems ask to see the Customer Service Adviser to conduct an AJCS (Accessing Jobcentre Customer Service) appointment.
