    • How does one obtain the permit? The permit team number is only open between the hours of 9am to 3pm. It says on the website, To obtain an additional 2 hours, the driver must pay a tariff of £3.00 + booking fees in person at our Security Hut, is that how you get the permit also, from the security hut? What a rigmaroll that would be but maybe just another step to take to try and catch people out?  
    • Anotheruser0000 bear in mind that not all Judges are equally versed in the PoFA regulations. Fortunately now most of them are but sometimes a Judge from a higher Court sits in who is well experienced  in Law but not PoFA. and so they sometimes go "offkey" because their knowledge can raise a different set of arguments and solutions. It does seem particularly unfair  when the decision is so  bad . it can also be that in some situations the motorist being a lay person is not sufficiently know ledgeable to be able to counter a Judge's decisions in a way that a barrister could.
    • The argument about the date of receipt is now dead because the PCN  does not comply with the wording  of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4.  First reason Section 9 [2] [e]  "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper—(i)to pay the unpaid parking charges;" Second Reason Section 9 [2][a] "specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;" All your PCN does is mark the time you entered and left the car park. It does not include all the myriad things you do in between-driving into the car park, looking for a parking space-perhaps a disabled space or  parent and Child place@ getting the children or disabled person out of the car then going shopping. Coming back; loading the car with shopping [, getting the children or disabled into the car, taking the trolley back to the store; driving to the exit perhaps stopping to let vehicles/pedestrians cross in front of you etc. so subtracting the driving times from before and after parking can make quite a difference from their time to the actual period parking time. So the upshot is now that only the driver is responsible for paying the PCN and the keeper is not liable at all even if the name of the driver is never known by Nexus so well done for not appealing. You obviously want to keep it that way to make it very difficult for them to win in Court if it ever goes that far. Although your question is now moot since  the same objective has been achieved by the non compliant PCN [ie no keeper liability] just  about the only way to dispute the timing of the PCN would be if one kept the envelope and there was a discernible date stamp on it that did not match the date on the PCN. There is a new Act coming out [and it cannot come quickly enough ] and one of the things required is that parking companies will have to prove the date of sending out their PCNs. We are not the only ones who sometimes doubt the veracity of their dates particularly as the later it is sent [unlawfully] the shorter the period motorists have to benefit [?] from the reduced payment. I haven't seen it on your posts but do you know how long you are permitted to park for free?
    • I was so annoyed and frustrated about the fact this case was lost it's been floating around my head all night. Dave962, are you sure that's what the Judge said? .... It doesn't make sense. Did the judge in fact dismiss the case on the grounds that the defendant did not make an appeal within 28 days? Effectively telling the PPC about the error entering the registration number and providing proof of payment at that time? To me, that's an important point.

    • 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 there is no JSA to sanction as its now closed, I dont believe a new ESA claim would be sanctioned as the JSA agreement doesnt apply to ESA?

 

thanks, he still hasn't put in a claim for ESA yet as he couldn't get an appointment with his doctor till this friday. i didn't think he had an agreement if you are on ESA :/

A different set of rules apply for ESA claimants. You are correct in thinking that the JSAg does not apply. However, (I'm pretty sure) he will still have to attend mandatory Work Programme appointments unless he gets put in to the support group (unlikely).

 

But as his JSA claim is now closed and he has yet to apply for ESA, no benefit doubts or sanctions could be imposed for missing today's appointment - I assume he has notified the "adviser" at Ingeus that he is no longer claiming. If he hasn't, they would still go through the motions even if it is a pointless exercise on their part.

he told his advisor via email that he had canceled his JSA claim and won't be attending the appointment, he hasn't heard anything back from them. his has not yet applied for ESA so does that mean he's no longer considered as been on the WP? also i don't understand ESA so im guessing he'll be put in WRAG :/

Mr P is right, he will still be on the WP.

 

I have no idea what the WP will do to your friend whilst he is on ESA assessment rate, can people on ESA assessment rate be sanctioned is the question?

 

how can somebody be sanctioned on a claim they haven't even made yet? the jobcentre asked if he would be going onto ESA and he replied yes but he hasn't called them to make the claim or filled out the form and sent it off to apply yet.

i friend received a 'good reason' letter today because he did not attend an appointment with his advisor on 25th February, he canceled his JSA claim on the 24th so basically this letter been sent is a waste of time as he currently has no claim running to sanction..or will be be sanctioned if he makes another claim? :/

He should fill in and return the "good reason" letter within the next day or two and simply state:

My claim for JSA was closed on the 24th Feb. As a consequence, there was no mandatory, legal, or moral obligation to attend the appointment with Ingeus on the 25th Feb.Please confirm that this vexatious benefit doubt is rejected and removed from your files at the earliest opportunity.
The DWP may respond with "we will keep this doubt on file for months", but hopefully your friend's response will also be noted.Would suggest he keeps a copy of the letter he sends - I'd also suggest he hands it in to his local (ex)JCP office and get a reciept for it.

A sanction cannot be applied in respect of a day where no claim was made. He closed his JSA on 24th and has not yet made an ESA claim. So, probably best if he starts his claim from the 26th or later, and as Mr P suggests write to the DWP and keep a copy of all letters sent and received in case there is a problem in the future.

I don't think so, no, but it's a slightly unusual situation - that's why it's best to keep a paper trail.

mr friend received a text from the jobcentre saying 'we have received your claim to ESA. we will contact you with a decision. you do not need to contact us.' he wants to know if its possible he will be refused ESA?

If he has a med cert he should not be refused ESA in the first instance. After a couple of months he will be referred for an Atos medical and that's where the problems could start. But to start with he should be OK.

 

Edit to add - the only exception to this is if the med cert specifies something that the DWP does not recognise as an "incapacity". This isn't usually an issue - things like depression and anxiety are fine. The most common things I used to see on certs that I couldn't accept were "pregnancy" and "bereavement". You haven't mentioned him being bereaved and I'm guessing he's not pregnant.

yes his claim had a sick note from his doctor with it, he also sent them a P45 he got for closing his JSA claim although im not sure if that was needed :/

 

no he has been bereaved lately and as far as i know he's not pregnant lol

No harm in sending the P45 - it shouldn't be needed to process the claim, but hell, better to send more information than is needed.

thats very true as it evidence the JSA claim has been closed, as the jobcentre have text him does that mean his claim is been processed?

Not sure - didn't do that when I worked there. I suspect it means that the claim has been received but not actually processed.

refusal/failure to apply for, or accept if offered, a suitable job without good reason can result in 13 weeks sanction. is that if the job centre offer u a letter with a job on it to apply for ? and not training course as my adviser sayed they dont sanction u for not taking the job only way i would get sanction as if the job centre offered me a letter with a job on to apply for.

Yes - if you're "matched" to a job by a JSA adviser then you can be sanctioned if you don't apply. You could also be sanctioned if you don't attend training courses you're referred to by the Jobcentre. If you're on the Work Programme, the Jobcentre won't refer you for courses but your WP provider might.
