    • 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.

Me and my partner booked tickets online to see Fantastic Beasts and where to Find them. On the Odeon Guildford website it stated that the 8pm viewing was subtitled. (We are both deaf and need subtitles to follow a film)

 

We turned up on the night of the screening, 18th November 2016.

I always check before we go into the screening that it is actually subtitled as in the past we go, only to be told there are no subtitles.

 

 

I ask the staff, is the film at 8pm subtitled?

He goes on to say no.

I ask why?

He avoids the question a number of times.

I ask him again, and ask 'why not add the subtitles?'

Its really is not difficult to do- (popular films delivered to cinemas USUALLY contain a subtitle track.

 

 

Cinemas can switch this subtitle track on or off, like a DVD player or Sky box,

BUT cinemas prefer to SCHEDULE subtitled shows in advance, so everyone knows a particular show is subtitled.)

 

 

I ask him again, and the guy says 'people don't like subtitles.'

I was upset and angry by this point, and I said I'd like to speak to the manager.

 

 

He then says he IS the manager.

I was even more shocked as this came out of the words of the manager.

He could have been a bit more tactful. :-x:mad2:

 

It clearly breaches the Equality Act.

The subtitles weren't cancelled due to technical failure

but because they decided to discriminate against a minority,

whilst pleasing the larger minority (the hearing people) after specifically advertising the film as being accessible for that minority.

 

It was an evening trip wasted, we planned in advance only to be hugely disappointed.

We were refunded, and given two free cinema tickets and an apology, but that is not good enough.

 

 

It was an injury and insult to our feelings, to be turned away just because we are deaf.

 

 

Hearing people have the privilege of turning up to watch films when they like.

Deaf people have restrictions

- we can only see films that are shown subtitled.

 

 

We've suffered as a consequence on the basis of characteristic (disability) which is protected under the equality act 2010.

 

I have tweeted this, emailed the cinema, and am awaiting a response.

I hope they don't get off lightly, I will make sure of that.

 

I have proof of booking confirmation when I booked my tickets, which also shows the proof of it being captioned. But no proof unfortunately of the manager saying 'people don't like the subtitles.' I do though, have a witness.

 

I am new to this forum, and so hi to everyone :) I am not sure what else to do, feel at a bit of a loose end and would appreciate some help and guidance on what to do next. Many thanks. :-)

Please don't post multiple threads on the same issue. It is unhelpful to us and it is unhelpful to you.

 

You've told us that it is the Odeon but you haven't told us where. Which Twitter address have you used to tweet this?

The Odeon Twitter address is @ODEONHelp

 

I would suggest that you tweet them and try to get others to treat them as well.

 

Our Twitter URL to the thread is cag.tw/1v08

you should try tweeting them your own message as well. You could try contacting your local newspaper. This is the kind of stuff that they are often pleased to carry. Other than that, I'm not quite sure if there is any worthwhile fuss you can make – unless, of course, the Odeon doesn't respond or simply fails to respond satisfactorily. Let us know what happens

Thank you for taking the time to feedback about your visit on Friday. I am both angered and embarrassed that your night was ruined in the way your describe, and I can only hope you will allow me the opportunity to explain and do whatever I can to begin restoring your faith in our commitment to accessibility

 

I will make no excuses; what happened on Friday night was unacceptable. We had scheduled 3 subtitled showings of Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them in it's opening week - Friday 18th November at 00:01 & 11:10 and on Sunday 20th November at 6:10. The 8pm showing that you booked for was not scheduled as a subtitled showing, but the showing was inadvertently programmed in & advertised online as a subtitled performance. The programming error was noted during mid-week checks, but the team made the wrong call to amend. We had programmed that performance as subtitled and it should have stayed that way at such a late stage. What is even more disappointing is that none of the guests in that screening were contacted in advance notifying them of the error.

 

I can completely understand how angry and frustrated you must have been on the night. I can assure you that absolutely no offence was intended, but from your feedback it does not sound like the manager expressed himself as well as could have. A subtitled version of any film is a separate file, so unfortunately it is not a case of switching subtitles on or off. This however is simply not the point.

 

We have always prided ourselves on our commitment to accessibility which is why I am so incredibly disappointed with the way we as a team have handled this. I know we have already refunded your tickets and given you some complimentary passes, but your are right, it isn't good enough. I have already set up some new procedures to help ensure errors like this never happen again, and scheduled a meeting with my leadership team to specifically focus on accessibility in our cinema. We actively listen and act on any and all feedback, and we will continue to do all we can to do better.

 

Please accept my sincerest apologies for the disappointment, anger and frustration caused. I really want to do all I can to make this right and build your feedback into the way we work and engage with accessibility. I will be writing the schedule on Monday for our new film week starting on Friday 25th November. Tell me when you would like to watch Fantastic Beasts and I will make that happen. In the long term, I do have a few guests that email me fairly regularly with subtitled requests so please feel free to drop me an email if there is something specific you would like to watch in the future. As long as we still have the film and the distributor has released a subtitled version, we can help.

 

Thank you again Emily for your time and patience, and I hope to hear from you soon.

 

Regards

 

 

This is the cinemas response. It seems a fair enough apology and they seem to be doing something about it. But, at the end of the day it was a clear breach of equality act. This has happened far too many times and has deeply affected the deaf community. Problems arise, apologies are made, then everything it settled. Then a problem arises again. It seems a vicious cycle. Can't we consider suing them for the damage they have caused? I know its only attending a cinema to watch a film, but it upset us.
