    • Why ask for advice if you think it's too complex for the forum members to understand? You'd be better engaging a lawyer. Make sure he has understood all the implications. Stick with his advice. If it doesn't conform to your preconceived opinion then pause and consider whether maybe he's right.

    • An update to this case as I’ve not been on in a while.    I am still awaiting a charging decision in the case. The two police officers involved have said their personal belief is a section 47 ABH charge is the most likely outcome but this isn’t a sure thing of course.    The EA certificate from the issuing court has now lapsed. The court have refused to recertify him until they’ve had a hearing in to the case, and the district judge has issued orders to surrender all evidence, footage, photos etc.    I have done so promptly.    the EA, not so much . Equita have claimed they cannot provide his bodycam footage as the camera he was wearing is the EA personal one not one of theirs.   the EA has claimed he has asked Equita and the police for the footage as he claims he doesn’t have it.    the police have confirmed they didn’t seize his camera and they don’t have it.    so they are basically pointing the finger at each other all the while failing to comply with the district judges order to provide all evidence they intend to rely on at the rescheduled hearing.    The district judge has stated the hearing for his certification will NOT be the hearing for my complaint as there is no charge as of yet, and just as to whether he should be recertified or not.    I’m not 100% on why that can’t be done at the time, but I’m not about to question a judge…..

    • 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.

Well done those lads, how ridiculous - A Head Teacher of a Devon School threatened to put any boy who turned up to school in shorts in the recent spell of heatwave weather, into Isolation ! But sarcastically said they could turn up in skirts.. so a group of 5 did.

 

Apparently 50 more of them were frantically trying to borrow skirts from their girlfriends and sisters to wear to school today :)

 

Read the full story..

 

A group of teenage boys turned up to school in skirts on Wednesday in a bold 'no shorts' policy protest.

 

Five boys from ISCA Academy in Exeter, Devon, strolled in wearing the attire after being told by teachers that they'd be placed in isolation were they to walk into class in shorts – despite the hot weather.

 

A mum of one of the pupils said her 14-year-old was told a day earlier by the head teacher, "you can wear a skirt if you like", after he complained about the heat.

 

So he – along with four others – wore skirts. Official uniform skirts, so as to avoid any possibility of rebuttal.

 

 

 

 

"My son wanted to wear shorts but was told he would be put in the isolation room for the rest of the week," the mum told Devon Live.

 

 

"The head teacher told them, 'Well you can wear a skirt if you like', but I think she was being sarcastic. However, children tend to take you literally and so five boys turned up in skirts today – and because she told them it was okay there was nothing she could do as long as they are school skirts."

 

The mum added that one of the boys did get in trouble, but only because his skirt was "too short". She added that children should have a voice, no matter how old they are.

 

After the success of the boys' uniform objections, 50 boys are apparently now planning to follow suit. It seems the famous five have sparked a mini revolution.

 

The Devon mum added: "There are about 50 boys who are trying to borrow skirts off the girls and they all say they are going to wear them tomorrow.

 

 

"Children also don't like injustice. The boys see the women teachers in sandals and nice cool skirts and tops while they are wearing long trousers and shoes and the older boys have to wear blazers. They just think it's unfair that they can't wear shorts in this heat.

This happened before, didn't it?

 

I do remember in 6th form, someone moaning because as a male, he has to wear trousers; but as a female, I'm welcome to a wear skirt when it's hot.

 

I do think they should be able to wear shorts.

It made the 6pm news last night - the lads looked quite nice in the skirts and they seemed to be quite comfortable wearing them. Apparently someone did suggest they might want to shave their legs lol.

Needless to say, the Head Teacher wasnt available for comment - other than she needed to discuss things with Parents first. As parents were quite happy to have their lads wear shorts rather than suffer the heat.. what's to discuss ?

I thought that was very funny, I like the bit about taking the head seriously over wearing skirts. :D

 

Indeed - the Head Teacher must have felt quite silly that her throw away/sarcastic comment was taken literally by the young lads :)

I do remember in 6th form, someone moaning because as a male, he has to wear trousers; but as a female, I'm welcome to a wear skirt when it's hot.

 

I do think they should be able to wear shorts.

 

Or skirts.

 

Why not, in this day & age !

 

It made the 6pm news last night - the lads looked quite nice in the skirts and they seemed to be quite comfortable wearing them. Apparently someone did suggest they might want to shave their legs lol.

Needless to say, the Head Teacher wasnt available for comment - other than she needed to discuss things with Parents first. As parents were quite happy to have their lads wear shorts rather than suffer the heat.. what's to discuss ?

 

Were the parents happy for them to continue wearing skirts?

 

It's catching on, CB, this article is about bus drivers in France.

 

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/22/french-bus-drivers-skirts-dress-code-nantes

 

Was not the answer to turn up in shorts in any case ? If the bus co / school refused, they couldn't penalise the people as they'd turned up. Ultimatum - shorts or no work !

 

Phone rang at 5:30-ish pm - company asking me to attend job interview. I'd just put my meal on the table so I said 6:30? and they agreed. As I cycled to the interview, I attended the interview at 6:30 pm wearing Lycra cycling shorts. I got home at 4:30am after completing my first shift.
