    • 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.

    • Please provide advice on the following situation: I rented out my property to four students for 16 months until March 2024. Initially, the property was in very good condition, but now it needs extensive renovation. This includes redoing the bathroom, replacing the kitchen, removing wallpaper, and redecorating due to significant mould growth. The tenants also left their furniture on the grass, which is owned by the local authority. As a landlord, I've met all legal requirements. It seems the damage was caused by poor ventilation—windows were always closed, and heating wasn't used. There was also a bathroom leak fixed by reapplying silicone. I tried to claim insurance, but it was denied, citing tenant behaviour as the cause by looking at the photos, which isn't covered. The deposit barely covers the repair costs, or else I'll have to pursue money claims, which I've never done before and am unsure about its legal complications or costs. Any thoughts on this?

    • 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.

2.1 This instrument implements most provisions of the EU Consumer Rights Directive (the remaining provisions are implemented

in the Consumer Rights (Payment Surcharges) Regulations 2012 and the Enterprise Act 2002 (Part 8 EU Infringements) Order 2013). It will ensure that consumers and traders are clear about the bargain they are making in three main areas: information which traders should provide to consumers; cancellation rightsand responsibilities; and measures to prevent hidden costs. Together with the draft ConsumerRights Bill, these reforms constitute a fundamental reform of UK consumer rights, which will contribute to markets working more effectively, thereby driving economic growth.

On the 13 June 2014 the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 SI 2013 No. 3134 will come into force. Go to Regulations (pdf 360 kb)

These regulations will apply to contracts concluded on or after 13 June 2014. On this date, the Distance Selling Regulations 2000 and the Off Premises (Doorstep) Regulations 2008 will be revoked.

Where goods received are faulty or not fit for purpose or as described, consumers have different rights which are covered by separate legislation. Go to our webpage Consumer Rights Bill

The Consumer Contracts (Information

Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations

2013 (Regulations) cover on-premises, off-

premises and distance trader to consumer

contracts subject to certain exceptions. This

includes auctions (although there are no

cancellation rights in relation to public auctions)

and contracts for social services and healthcare

(which are not covered by the Consumer Rights

Directive (CRD)). They implement the bulk

of the CRD and will supersede the Consumer

Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations

2000 and the Cancellation of Contracts made

in a Consumer’s Home or Place of Work etc.

Regulations 2008. The superseded legislation

will still be relevant in respect of any contracts

concluded prior to the Regulations coming into

force.

http://www.taylorwessing.com/fileadmin/files/docs/Consumer-Contracts-Regulations-2013.pdf

 

  • The Regulations replace the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (the "DSR") and the Cancellation of Contracts made in a Consumer's Home or Place of Work etc Regulations 2008.

 

  • The Regulations extend the period from when a consumer can voluntarily withdraw from a contract (the "cooling-off period") from 7 working days to 14 calendar days. The Regulations also amend the point at which the cooling-off period commences for contracts for the sale of goods, and the maximum duration to which the cooling-off period may be extended in lieu of the trader meeting its obligation to notify the consumer of their cancellation right.

 

  • The Regulations amend the timeframes around the provision of refunds, and provide that consumers will generally be required to return goods (or otherwise evidence such return) in order to receive a refund.

 

  • For online services contracts, the Regulations require the consumer to make an express request before the trader can commence services during the cooling-off period, and amend the rules around the consumer waiving his or her withdrawal right during such period. There are also provisions allowing traders to be paid on a pro-rated basis if services are provided, and subsequently cancelled, during the cooling-off period.

Cancellation Rights for distance and off-premises contracts

Length of cooling off period -

The cooling off period during which consumers can

cancel orders for digital content, goods or services will now be 14 calendar days.

Currently, the cancellation period is 7 working days for distance sale contracts and 7

calendar days for doorstep sales contracts.

For contracts for the sale of goods, the cooling off period ends 14 calendar days after

the day on which the goods are delivered. If the goods are delivered in several

instalments then it will be 14 days from receipt of the last instalment.

For contracts for the sale of digital content (which is not on disk or another tangible

medium), the cooling off period ends 14 calendar days after the day on which the

contract is entered into.

For contracts for the sale of services, the cooling off period ends 14 calendar days

after the day on which the contract is entered into unless the consumer has expressly

requested that the services commence before then and has waived his cancellation

right.

Standard cancellation form

– The Regulations contain a model cancellation form

which can be used to notify consumers of their right to cancel before they enter into

distance or off-premises contracts, but a trader can use its own wording if it chooses

provided such wording is clear.

Inertia selling

The Regulations protect consumers from unsolicited sales and additional charges

which have not been agreed in advance.

In such cases, the consumer is not required to pay for the unsolicited supply of

products. Similarly, the consumer is not required to pay additional charges unless he

gave express consent to such charges before the contract was concluded.

Helpline charges

Where a trader offers consumers a helpline for queries concerning goods, services

and/or digital content which the consumer has purchased, calls to such helpline by the

consumer must only be charged for at the basic rate.
