    • This is the other sign  parking sign 1a.pdf
    • 4 means that they need to name and then tell the people who will be affected that there has been an application made, what the application relates to (specificially "whether it relates to the exercise of the court’s jurisdiction in relation to P’s property and affairs, or P’s personal welfare, or to both) and what this application contains (i.e what order they want made as a result of it) 5 just means that teh court think it is important that the relevant people are notified 7 means that the court need more information to make the application, hence they have then made the order of paragraph 1 which requires the applicant to do more - this means the court can't make a decision with the current information, and need more, hence paragraph one of the order is for the applicant to do more. paragraph 3 of the order gives you the ability to have it set aside, although if it was made in january you are very late. Were you notiifed of the application or not?    
    • These are the photos of the signs. At the entrance there is a 7h free sign. On some bays there is a permit sign.  Also their official website is misleading as it implies all parking is free.  I can't be certain of the exact parking bay I was in that day, and there was no PCN ticket on my car and no other evidence was provided.  parking sign 2.pdf
    • Hi, In my last post I mentioned I had received an email from SS who were asking me to hand over the keys to my mother’s flat so they could pass them to the Law firm who have been appointed court of protection to access, secure and insure my mother’s property.  Feeling this, all quickly getting out of my hands I emailed ss requesting proof of this. I HAVEN’T HEARD BACK FROM SS.  Yesterday, I received an email (with attached court of protection order) from the Law Firm confirming this was correct (please see below a copy of this).  After reading the court of protection order I do have some concerns about it:   (a)   I only found out yesterday, the Law firm had been appointed by the court back in January.  Up until now, I have not received any notification regarding this.  (b)   Section 2   - States I am estranged from my mother.  This is NOT CORRECT    The only reason I stepped back from my mother was to protect myself from the guy (groomer) who had befriended her & was very aggressive towards me & because of my mother’s dementia she had become aggressive also.  I constantly tried to warned SS about this guy's manipulative behaviour towards my mother and his increasing aggressiveness towards me (as mentioned in previous posts).  Each time I was ignored.  Instead, SS encouraged his involvement with my mother – including him in her care plans and mental health assessments.   I was literally pushed out because I feared him and my mother’s increasing aggression towards me. Up until I stepped back, I had always looked after my mother and since her admission to the care home, I visit regularly.   .(c)    Sections -  4, 5 and 7  I am struggling to understand these as I don’t have a legal background.  I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to explain what they mean.  It’s been a horrendous situation where I had to walk away from my mother at her most vulnerable because of; ss (not helping), scammer and groomer. I have no legal background, nor experience in highly manipulative people or an understanding of how the SS system operates, finding myself isolated, scared and powerless to the point I haven’t collected my personal belongings and items for my mother’s room in the care home.  Sadly, the court has only had heard one version of this story SS’s, and based their decision on that. My mother’s situation and the experience I have gone through could happen to anyone who has a vulnerable parent.    If anyone any thoughts on this much appreciated.  Thank you. ______________________________________________________  (Below is the Court of Protection Order)  COURT OF PROTECTION                                                                                                                                                                                   No xxx  MENTAL CAPACITY ACT 2005 In the matter of Name xxx ORDER Made by  Depty District Judge At xxx Made on xxx Issued on 18 January 2024  WHEREAS  1.     xxx Solicitors, Address xxx  ("Applicant”) has applied for an order under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.  2.     The Court notes (my mother) is said to be estranged from all her three children and only one, (me) has been notified.  3.     (Me) was previously appointed as Atorney for Property and Affairs for (my mother).  The Exhibity NAJ at (date) refers to (me) and all replacement Attorneys are now officially standing down.  4.     Pursuant to Rule 9.10 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 and Practice Direction 9B the Applicant 2must seek to identify at least three persons who are likely to have an interest in being notified that an application has been issues.”  The children of (my mother), and any other appointed attorneys are likely to have an interest in the application, because of the nature of relationship to (my mother).  5.     The Court considers that the notification requirements are an important safeguard for the person in respect of whom an order is sought.  6.     The Court notes that it is said that the local authority no longer has access to (my mother’s) Property.  7.     Further information is required for the Court to determine the application.  IT IS ORDERED THAT  Within 28 days of the issue date this order, the Applicant shall file a form COP24 witness statement confirming that the other children of (my mother) and any replacement attorneys have been notified of the application and shall confirm their name, address, and date upon which those persons were notified.  If the Applicant wishes the Court to dispense with any further notification, they should file a COP9 and COP24 explaining, what steps (if any) have been taken to attempt notification and why notification should be dispensed with.   Pending the determination of the application to appoint a deputy for (my mother), the Applicant is authorised to take such steps as are proportionate and necessary to access, secure and insure the house and property of (my mother).   This order was made without a hearing and without notice.  Any person affected by this order may apply within 21 days of the date on which the order was served to have the order set aside or varied pursuant to Rule 13.4 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 (“the Rules”).  Such application must be made on Form COP9 and in accordance with Part 10 Rules.              
    • Unless I've got an incorrect copy of the relevant regulation: The PCN is only deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch "unless the contrary is proved" in which case date of delivery does matter (not just date of posting) and I would like clarification of the required standard of proof. It seems perhaps this hasn't been tested. Since post is now barcoded for the Post Office's own tracking purposes perhaps there is some way I can get that evidence from the Post Office...

    • 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.

significantly more? 2% at present self employed dont get sickness benefit, holiday pay, dont get their allowance for doing jury service, nigh on impossible to claim housing benefit as the rules of proof of income atre so arcane it is impossible to satisfy them, less pension etc. Agreed, the cost of the extra NI to employers is crippling and that affects the wages offered to employees but direct taxes are still about the same as they were back in the mid 1970's when the tax rate was 30%

The real problem is that NI is just another tax and not what it was set up as back in 1910. It is not rerlated to your pension and it is not for the NHS so what we should all be demanding is to know why it is separate on our pay slips/tax returns. Also the BBC is a tax upon us but their employees are encouraged to make themselves limited companies to avoid paying tax! What next, HMRC freelancers? Even the last DG used a company to minmise his tax bill as he was an "agency" employee- no he wasnt and the HR at the beeb should have been dragged through the courts to explain themselves with that evasion exercise.

My national Insurance is more than the tax I pay. Will be looking into that. I'd like to know why minimal amounts are paid if you are self employed yet if you are PAYE it is significantly more, even though you earn less money.

If my tax is 30% and my NI is more than my tax therefore i'm not paying 2% NI on my wages, must be more than 30% on my wages.

 

If you're self employed you have the option to pay more NI contributions to enhance your state pension. If we were all self employed the government would have to wait for a once a year tax divvy to pay for all those public services, apart from the fact those working in the NHS, Police, Fire Service, Waste disposal, Housing etc looking after everyone, so us PAYE paying regularly keep the status quo for those services. Valuable workers. VAT self employed can claim back that tax, PAYE can't. Self employed can off set their taxes. PAYE can't.

 

Maybe all workers should set up a company in their name and invoice the company they give their services too.

not 100 % obviously, just going by his autob and some historians. seemingly not quite at the same level as mcg.

and re quite different circumstances. the news' analogy was wrong.

he was not 'clean' at all, but more of an economic one (blowing up pylons for one eg). as he said himself if you see him as a saint then he is '..not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying...'

Its all relative.

In nazi germany some people rescuing Jews had to lie and cheat and sometimes murder 'the bad guys' (who may often just have been 'following orders' and who believed the lies and propaganda of their leaders ....

 

Take Osbourne - 6 jobs - or perhaps should we say 'paid positions' while drawing an MP's salary and expenses ...

 

and before anyone says 'yes but we need fewer professional politicians and more with experience in business as MPs ...

Well, Yes I agree but we need those sort of people who bring that experience and devote full time to politics

Surely those who claim they can do 6 'jobs' properly simultaneously while claiming 75K + massive expenses as full time politicians are exactly the sort of 'professional politicians' that we already have far too many of.

your tax isnt 30%, it is 20% on all earings over £11.6k. NI is paid on all of your earnings and the taxable amount includes NI contributuions so you pay tax on your NI tax- like paying VAT on petrol duty. Self employed people can claim back VAT on certain items that they then sell on with VAT added and then only when their turnover is above £83K. They cant claim back VAT on items that are not sold on and if they claim th VAT on fuel for their van for example they pay a different rate of VAT on all of their turnover, not just VATable things so they have to apy the govt tax where it is not due to claim back money they have spent on theior business. you dont have to spend money to pay your employer for your desk or lighting, you dont buy the bog roll at work and then pay VAT on it as a non VATable item.

Self employed pay tax at the same rate as you do and NI at 8% rather than 10% so they pay 30% in tax on their income above £11.6k, not 32% . Another thing they have to do now is pay tax on account so they have to estimate their income for the year to pay tax on money they arent going to get paid for the next 9 months. would you like it if your boss paid you 3 months pay without deducting tax and then taxed you for the whole year in month 4 and said that was his best guess for the future and the matter will be adjusted in january if it is wrong?

The PAYE system is rotten but dont blame the self employed for having a slightly different system that looks to be better at first glance but one of the reasons that people become self-employed is because the companies they used to work for decided to lose their services so they now go it alone doing the same sort of thing on an individual basis. How many people are employed in the building trade directly? hardly any and that means little training opportunities for the young. the brickies, sparks etc are still in work but with no security of tenure and that saves the employer money, it doesnt benefit the individual much and loses the govt needed NI revenue (mostly from the loss of the employers contributions). I work part time in education on zero hours contracts so dont pay NI as my hours arent enough at any paticular place to get over the threshold. Even full time teachers are now being offered posts where they dont get paid for the whole year, just 38 weeks. Who would be a maths teacher in a sink school with that as an incentive? 6 weeks compulsory unpaid leave in the summer? lovely. I know some who spend their time working as stewards at sporting events or fruit picking. They still have their pupil assessments to do for the coming year and all of the other admin/lesson planning etc but they just dont get paid for it.

If my tax is 30% and my NI is more than my tax therefore i'm not paying 2% NI on my wages, must be more than 30% on my wages.

 

If you're self employed you have the option to pay more NI contributions to enhance your state pension.

I know what you mean Ford, but you shouldn't leave out council tax

(or water tax really as there is no competition and no choice)

 

Last year my council Tax and water tax was about 15% of my gross income (income was small but no benefits as I have savings).
