    • You left the PCN number showing, but no worries, I've redacted it. Euro Car parks are very well known to us.  I've just skimmed through the titles of the latest 100 cases we have with them (I gave up after 100) and, despite all their bluster and threats, in not one have they taken the Cagger to court. You stayed there for 2 hours &:45 minutes.  I'm guessing the limit is 2 hours and 30 minutes, right?  
    • If the claimant fails to draft directions the court can order a Case Management Hearing to set them but normally in Fast Track claims the claimant sets the directions...Unlike small claims track which are always set the court.
    • Not Evris offer, the court offers mediation service.   All claims proceed to hearing if mediation fails /not happen.   Why do you not wish to attend in person to stand your claim ?     Absolutely you must comply with the courts directions or your claim risks being struck out. Preparation for a hearing should happen irrespective of mediation.   https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/460613-suing-a-parcel-delivery-company-when-you-dont-have-a-direct-contract-with-them-–-third-party-rights-copy-of-judgment-available/#comment-5255007   Andy  
    • LPA.  (I'm fighting insolvency due to all the stuff that he and lender have done).  He appointed estate agents - (changed several times). Disclosure shows he was originally appointed for a specific reason (3m after repo) : using his powers as acting for leaseholder to serve notice on freeholders (to grab fh).  There was interest from 3 potential buyers. He chose one whose offer depended on a positive result of the notice.  Disc also shows he'd taken counsel advice - which was 'he'd fail'.  He'd simultaneously asked to resign as his job (of serving notice) was done and he'd found a buyer.  Lender asked him to stay on to assign notice to the buyer.  Notice failed, buyer didn't buy.  So receiver stayed.  There was 1 buyer who wanted to proceed w/o fh but receiver/ lender wasted 1y trying to get rid of them!  Disc shows why. But I didn't know why at the time. In later months Lender voiced getting rid of receiver. Various reasons - including cost.  But there's a contradiction/ irony: as I've seen an email (of 4y ago) which shows the receiver telling lender not to incur significant costs and to minimize receiver costs.    Yet lender then asked him to serve another notice - again counsel advice indicated 'he'd fail'.  And he did fail.  But wasted 3y trying and incurred huge legal costs - lender trying to pass on to me. Lender interfered - said wanted to do works.  Receiver should have said no.  But disc. shows he agreed to step aside to let them do the works - on proviso lender would discuss potential costs first (they didn't), works wouldn't take long (took 15m), and lender would hold interest (they didn't) (this last point is crucial for me now - as I need to know if I can argue that all interest beyond this point shouldnt be allowed?)   I need to check receiver witness statement in litigation with freeholders to see exactly what he said about 'his position'. But I remember it being along the lines of - 'if the works increased the value of the property he didn't have a problem'.  Lender/ receiver real problems started at this point. The cost of works and 4y passage of time has meant there is no real increase in value. Lender (or receiver) didn't get any permissions (statutory or fh) (and didn't tell me) and just bulldozed the property to an empty shell.  The freeholders served notice on me as leaseholder for breach of covenants (strict no alterations).  The Lender stepped in (acting for me) to issue notice for relief of forfeiture - not the receiver.  That wasted 2y of litigation (3y if inc the works) and incurred huge costs (both sides).  Lender's aim was to do the works that every potential buyer balked at due to the lease restrictions.  Lender and receiver knew couldn't do works w/o fh permission. Lender did them anyway; receiver allowed.  Receiver remained appointed.  I'm arguing lender interfered in receiver duties.  Receiver should have just sold property 4-5y ago w/o allowing any works.  Almost 3y since works finished the property remains unsold (>5y from repo). The property looks brand new - but it was great before.  The lender spent a ton of money - hoping that would facilitate a quick sale.  But the money they spent and the years they have wasted has meant they had to increase sale price.  It's now completely overpriced.  And - of course - the same issues that put buyers off (before works) still exist.   The receiver has tried for 2y to assert the works increased value. But he is relying on agents estimates - which have proved highly speculative. (Usual trick of an agent to give a high value to get the business - and then tell seller to reduce when no-one buys.). And of course lender continues to accrue interest (despite 4y ago receiver saying pause interest). Lender tried to persuade receiver to use specific agent. Disc shows this agent was best friends with the lender's main investor in the property.  Before works this agent had valued it low.  After works this agent suggested a value 70% higher!  The lender persuaded receiver to sack one agent and instead use this agent.  No offers. (Price way too high).   Research has uncovered that this main investor has since died.  I guess his investment is part of probate? And his family want it back?    Disc shows the sacked agent had actually received a high offer 1y ago.  Receiver rejected it.  (thus I don't know if the buyer would have ever proceeded). He was relying on the high speculative valuation the agents had given him to pitch for the business. The agents were in a catch-22.  The receiver sacked them. Disc shows there has been 0 interest ever since (inc via new agent requested by lender). I don't think lender or receiver want all this to come out in public domain via a trial.  It will ruin their reputations. If I can't get an order for sale with lender - can I apply separately against receiver?
    • Ok many thanks. Just wanted to check that nothing else for us to do / send for the moment. Will update again once we receive a copy of their N181 and proposed directions for review. Our post is a bit hit and miss at the moment. Appreciate the help through this process.

    • 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.

Excellent news, lets hope they regret getting involved in this mucky business, it has without a doubt sullied the name of solicitors, so the SRA is doing the right things, lets hope Mr Andrew "I'm bankrupt but still got a massive house and a Bentley in the drive" Crossley is getting worried :)Andy

Have you ever passed a pub called 'The Honest Lawyer', or had a drink in one and wondered about the name?

....and another thing!!! as the OH says.

 

so the SRA is doing the right things, after 2 years of doing absolutely nothing while this [problem] ran on.

From my own experience with this self serving quango, unless you can catch a solicitor going over the back wall complete with striped jumper and a bag full of cash marked 'swag', you will get little interest.

 

I would not trust them with a push chair in the middle of a disused aerodrome.

In my case, I searched Google (sra, ******), the person investigating.

 

I wish I had an employer that alllows me to chat to my friends, book concert tickets etc, when they are supposed to be working for a living.

David be sensible when has anyone working for these so called

regulatory Quangos' ever done a real days work, to your advice

and had a look it really is astounding what they get away with.

It's the same though through any and every ''government''

agency ministry or what ever if the word government is

mentioned right down to the local councils all a ripping off

the tax paying public especially in England.

The Law Society Represents Solicitors and promotes

good practice, training, publicity etc.

 

The SRA regulates and enforces legislation and the conduct

of the solicitors as individuasl or firms to put it simply

although it does go a lot further!

In reply to Cashins - we have the"The Honest Lawyer" pub in Lodge Road Southampton. The only consolation is that the pub a few doors down is "The Bent Brief"! That makes up for it!

I can only say that these lawyers should have been part of the FSB who would have advised them on their behaviour for free!

Regards to all

They've got rid of the 'Fairy Lights' by the looks; http://southampton-pubs.co.uk/juniperberry/index.htm

 

It was '82 when i was last in there.

 

What can you say, the place was a falling down larf if you didn't take it seriously.

 

'82 would be a bit late for German Ede's down on East Park.

As a naive young squaddie it certainly opened my eyes to a world that I never knew existed., topless Go-Go dancers, strippers etc the lot. The crumpet in the place was unbelievable.

 

When it was my turn to get the round in I happened to mention to the barman that with all the tottie in there I couldn't understand that there was hardly any fellas but us squaddies. He just said "Put it this way, if you dance with any of them and put your hands were you shouldn't you'll grab a handful of more than you expect". Later that night one of the 'girls' got stabbed by a matelot when he grabbed more than he expected.

 

I only went in a couple of times after that & always in a group after we'd come across from Marchwood on the Hubbard lighter boat which acted as a water taxi for the camp.

A bit of history:

 

That area was pretty lively at night with other bars and a nightclub in nearby St Michael Sq. By then though, most of the 'working girls' had moved down to St Mary's. As with many town, refurbishment of the inner city areas brought respectability , rising property prices and complaints from the new residents regarding places like this. (Bit like moving near the airport then complaining about the noise). Upshot was it wasn't long before the rest followed the girls down to St Mary's.

TBH I didn't go across very often I preferred the local pub in Marchwood, the Mess or the surrounding villages. Sometimes we used to go to Hythe, Bucklers Hard or Lymington or across to the IoW. We had use of the Regimental yacht so besides working on the 'oggin we spent much of our leisure time on it as well. ;)
