    • 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.

I'm new here & sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section.

 

I lost an employment tribunal case and I was ordered to pay £35,000 for an organisation and a union, I'm an individual (employee) and I do not have legal representation. In addition, I do not have the ability to pay as I have been out of job for 1.5 years and I have no assets

 

I wonder what should I do? I know that I can declare myself bankrupt but I want to avoid it if it is possible as it will have significant impact on my career.

 

I have no previous experience or knowledge of what can I do and I would really appreciate your help.

So why not do some form of sworn declaration of your Financial position and provide this to the people you owe the money to. Then see how they reply. It must be possible to do a statutory declaration of your financial situation. Or there is a court procedure to declare your ability to pay, where they can see that you cannot pay what has been awarded.

We could do with some help from you.

The case was struck out as per article 37 of the Employment tribunal (ET) rules

 

(1) At any stage of the proceedings, either on its own initiative or on the application of a party,

a Tribunal may strike out all or part of a claim or response on any of the following grounds—

(a) that it is scandalous or vexatious or has no reasonable prospect of success;

(b) that the manner in which the proceedings have been conducted by or on behalf of the claimant or the respondent (as the case may be) has been scandalous, unreasonable or vexatious

 

The parties and the Employment Tribunal know that I can not afford to pay but the judge said that the rules say:

 

The Employment Tribunal "MAY" have regard to the paying party’s ability to pay. So he decided not to take that in consideration.

 

It is not clear from the judgement on what basis the costs were awarded

How many days do I have to pay the amount in England before it get defaulted? and at what stage can they make enforcement ?

 

I am not sure about tribunals, however if this were a County Court Judgment then you would have 28 days in which to pay the judgement debt - at which point the claimant would be able to use other enforcement methods - such as attachment of earnings. However, you have the opportunity to request an instalment repayment.

 

Have you received any paperwork from the tribunal that advises how / when / where you have to make payment

If you get your appeal registered, it should stop enforcement. But you need to act within the timescales the ET allows. It would not be wise to enter into appeal without a Solicitor who specialises in such cases.

We could do with some help from you.

I'm an employee .. I lost an Employment Tribunal case and I was ordered to pay for the employer .. Can they enforce it if I submit an appeal ?

 

 

What is the basis of your appeal ? ET appeals are notoriously difficult as they can only be made on points of law or procedural errors. You can't appeal on the basis of "I can't afford it", you have to be able to demonstrate where the Tribunal has made an error under the law.

I'm sorry for asking too many questions but I really need your help. I'm an employee .. I lost an employment tribunal case and I was ordered to pay £35,000 to the Employer & a union ..

 

Before the payment order get defaulted .. I was thinking of making an offer to pay £10 per a month (the maximum that I can afford) but at the same time I do not want to compromise my appeal .. or admit liability which might affect my appeal

 

Do you have a letter sample which can give me an idea .. or a paragraph that can sort this out?

Never assume anyone on the internet is who they say they are. Only rely on advice from insured professionals you have paid for!

It would also help if you could give a brief background of how this came about as per previous questions. Why did the Judge award costs against you? What warnings were given pre-trial regarding costs or the merits of the case?

 

This would give an indication of the likely success of an appeal against the award

My understanding is that the maximum amount of costs which may be awarded by an Employment Tribunal is £20,000. Anything more than that would normally be sent to the country court for an assessment.

 

If you want more advice I think we need to know whether this happened? If so, you must have received a bill of costs? Did you contest the bill of costs, or did you end up with a default costs certificate?

 

It is absolutely possible to appeal costs orders from the employment tribunal. You should also have had an opportunity to challenge the amount of the order. But we'd need to know more details about the case. Plus you would need to remember there are strict deadlines for appealing.

The £20k cap doesn't apply to wasted costs orders where the claimant has behaved vexatiously or conducted themselves inappropriately, which appears to be the case here. Under those circumstances the ET can award the whole amount of wasted costs.

An order made in respect of vexatious conduct against would be a preparation costs or time costs order, rather than a wasted costs order.

 

A wasted costs order can only be made against a 'representative' who must be acting 'in the pursuit of profit' - see paragraph 80 of the Employment Tribunal rules of procedure (https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/429633/employment-tribunal-procedure-rules.pdf). It is usually used against solicitors/barristers who have caused extra costs by screwing up.

 

I could be wrong, but it doesn't sound like the op was legally represented, so I'm not sure we are looking at a wasted costs here.

 

Perhaps the op could clarify the situation if he or she still needs help.

My understanding was that under the 2013 changes the Employment Judge can himself make the detailed assessment without the need to refer this to the County Court?
