    • Better version attached with the late appeal explained more clearly for the judge. This will sound silly, but I think it would be a good idea to e-mail it to the court and UKPC on Sunday.  It's probably me being daft, but Sunday is still March, and as it's late, sending it in March rather than April will make it sound like it was less late than it really is.  if you get my drift. You can still pop in a paper version on Tuesday if you want. E-mail address for the court: [email protected] And for UKPC: [email protected]   [email protected] Defendant WS.pdf
    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • 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.

    • 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.

Ok people, new to this but hoping I can get away with this one!

I received a ticket for parking in a place I have parked in for years at a football match.

The part of the 26 that effects e is 50cm the kerbs.

I was parked in a dead end street and was touching the end kerb.

It meant that the was 3 cars in a line, but it was a dead end street with bollards in front?

Does it have to be the side kerb that I am touching?

Looks like you were considered to be parked in the middle of the road (i.e. away from the kerb). I would imagine that you are supposed to be parked within 50cm of the kerb at either side of the road.

Yeah.. So where do you draw the line?? So a dead end street that's go 5 or 6 houses at the end, no one can park in front of? That can't be right.

Code 26! Within 50ft of a curb!

 

Yes sorry, I miss-read your original post. Its also 'not in a designated parking space'. BTW it's 50cms not 50 ft! :lol:

Well the offence is specific to London but you may as well appeal making you points and see what happens.

Oh didn't know that. If I lose the appeal, could I pay the fine, then go small claim court against council. I'm so ****ed about this!

 

Well if you loose the appeal, there is still an opportunity to take it to PATAS. Obviously if you take it that far, you will loose any discount on the original PCN (assuming you loose of course). Taking the council to court after exhausting the appeal process is of course an option but it would involve a lot of expence with little chance of success.

Cool, I will go to them next. I need photos of closes that have cars parking in at the end side. That will prove that it's Allowed! The end kerb surely however small is still a kerb, And the edge of a carriageway! Supposing I drove a smartcar? I could've parked that sideways where I parked? That would've been acceptable. Then again you could argue that the rules don't say a car must be parked sideways on the kerb... It's a flawed ticket

Same rule would apply IMHO. It's the road side edge kerb that counts I think you will find.

Its not just a London wide offence its in the TMA 2004 but thats beside the point. The actual contravention is parking more than 50cms from the edge of the carriageway there is no mention of kerbs in the statute. The was a key case at PATAS that stated a dead end was still the edge of the carriageway so there was in your case no contravention.

 

 

CARR V LONDON BOROUGH OF HARINGEY

Case No. : 2070469651 PCN Number: HY24262670

 

Contravention:

Vehicle parked more than 50cm (or other specified distance) from the edge of the carriageway and not within a designated parking place

STATUTORY REGISTER ENTRY:

 

 

The Parking Attendant noted all the details of Miss Carr's vehicle and recorded that this Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) was fixed to the vehicle five minutes after it was first seen. The PCN alleged that the car was parked "more than 50cm from the kerb and not within a designated parking place". The Attendant drew a sketch in the pocketbook showing the position of the car.

Miss Carr challenged the PCN on the basis that her car had been parked in a dead-end street, where she said that residents and commercial tenants used the space at the end of the street as a parking place on a daily basis. She pointed out that her vehicle was not blocking any other vehicle, and that there were no yellow lines painted in the road or any notices prohibiting parking in that space.

The Council rejected her representations, stating that her vehicle was "double-parked outside 5A Fairfield Gardens", and that double-parking is a contravention which can be enforced at any time.

In her Notice of Appeal Miss Carr rejected the allegation that her car was double-parked. She produced a photograph which she said showed her car on the day the PCN was issued, with a diagram showing the position of the car relative to other vehicles and the edges of the road. In their Case Summary the Council stated, "It is a contravention under the London Local Authorities Act 2000 to park more than 50cm from the kerb", which they said was what the Parking Attendant had recorded occurred in this case.

Whilst this contravention is commonly referred to as "double-parking", that expression does not appear in Section 5 of the London Local Authorities Act 1995, as substituted by Section 6 of the London Local Authorities Act 2000. Nor, crucially, does the word "kerb". Section 5(2) of the 1995 Act prohibits the waiting of a vehicle where:

(a) the vehicle is on the carriageway of a road and wholly or partly within a special parking area; and

(b) no part of the vehicle is within 50 centimetres of the edge of the carriageway; and © the vehicle is not wholly within a designated parking place or any other part of a road in respect of which the waiting of vehicles is specifically authorised

Looking at both the Parking Attendant's sketch and Miss Carr's sketch and photograph, it is clear that her car was parked more than 50 centimetres from the "kerb", if that is taken to mean the edge of the footway on either side of the street. It is not possible to ascertain whether or not there is an actual kerb, i.e. made up of kerbstones, across the end of the road, but this does not matter, because what is clear is that the carriageway ends just in front of where Miss Carr's car was parked. That is to say that the carriageway in this road has three edges, rather than just the normal two along the footways.

Both sketches and the photograph show Miss Carr's vehicle parked at the end of the road. In the absence of specific evidence from the Parking Attendant as to how far the front of her car was from the edge of the carriageway at the end of the road I cannot be satisfied that no part of the vehicle was within 50 centimetres of the edge of the carriageway.

Accordingly I cannot be satisfied that a contravention of Section 5 of the 1995 Act occurred. I therefore must allow this appeal.

[it would appear that the Council have been misled by their own use of the expression "double-parking", and also by choosing to use the expression "parked more than 50cm from the kerb" in the PCN itself. The wording does not accord with the Standard PCN Codes agreed by London Councils, which correctly reproduces the words of the legislation: "Vehicle parked more than 50cm from the edge of the carriageway and not within a designated parking place".]
