    • Should this to be take into court with him or should he send something in earlier?

    • 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.

    • 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.

I had an eye test at Specsavers and selected some frames and paid for them to be glazed in the script they supplied with thinning and a scratchcoat. I paid via Barclaycard Visa.

 

I went to collect them and have them fitted today and as soon as I put them on I realised something was wrong.

 

I advised the optician they were not right and she refused to believe me saying my eyes needed to adapt to them as I had been wearing my current glasses for some time.

 

I disagreed stating that I owned 3 pairs of spectacles with 2 different scripts and contact lenses with a third script and I had no problem swapping around glasses or contacts previously.

 

I advised that the new glasses made me want to squint my left eye so that could not be right, the optician refused to accept they were wrong and insisted that I try them and come back in a few weeks.

 

Initially I refused and I stated that I was an experienced glasses wearer and there was definitely something wrong.

 

I asked what could be done and the optician said nothing as I hadn't persevered with them. I said I was not prepared to as they were making me feel dizzy and I wasn't going to risk my health to prove her wrong.

 

I was getting nowhere so I said I would get another eye test to see if they had the script wrong and would return as soon as I had that.

 

I left the shop with the glasses and tried them a few more times to make sure and I am convinced they are wrong.

 

I contacted Barclaycard and raised a dispute and they have suspended payment (I presume the shop has received funds as payment on the card was 16/07) so the suspension is for my payment to Barclaycard.

 

So I am going to get another eye test done and see if it matches.

 

If it doesn't I presume I should be able to claim a full refund and possibly the cost of the second eye test?

 

Any advice on how I should approach this?

That's good to hear. I also have had the experience of glasses not quite being right - don't uncomfortable to see through, but not providing as much correction as I've been used to. The optician said this was just me getting older, but I'm not so convinced.

 

What was causing the issue in your case?

I don't know what caused the initial issue. the spectacles made me feel dizzy with a binocular effect on the left eye. I wore them over the weekend and it just stopped. So they are ok, I'm now wearing them every day.

I had a very similar experience with Specsavers and will never use them again. Ended up using a private local optician who spent the time necessary with my eye test and I ended up with a totally different prescription to the twice tested Specsavers prescription.

 

.....Never again!

I had a similar experience few years back, i had used Specsavers for few years at the time with no probs,

Then on an eye test few years ago i was told I required a new prescription, at time my prescription was only for distance albeit i needed wear glasses all the time.

When picked up the new glasses and tried them on .. I said no way, you have given me someone elses prescription surely? the floor was coming up at me, the lighting colour in the shop looked wrong was weird experience, I said you have got something seriously wrong here, i can't be wearing these especially to drive home with.

No i was told justa matter of readjustment few days required.. no way i said .. never going to happen, give it 24 hours your see your adjust and in couple days your fully adjust.

I left shop wearing glasses .. got to my car no way could risk driving, thought ok get home and try them few hours, well did that few hours in started feeling very light headed, sickly with them.. no way could continue.

Went back to Specsavers next day and complained, ok we will retest they said .. on retest they said ohhh sorry the astigmatism part of your prescription was higher than should of been in new glasses, i had to wait another couple days for another pair to be made.

When got the new pair a slight bit adjustment required but nothing like the wrong astigmatism pair.

I let them off lightly thinking back on it, should really made a claim of some sort at time :roll:

I used use Specsavers but we had to go to a different optician for a 2nd opinion and found his company so much better than Specsavers who are the production line company of opticians so we all use him now , i was never really happy with Specsavers any way
