    • Nick Wallis has written up the first day of Angela van den Bogerd's evidence to the inquiry. I thought she was awful.

    • Thank-you dx, What you have written is certainly helpful to my understanding. The only thing I would say, what I found to be most worrying and led me to start this discussion is, I believe the judge did not merely admonish the defendant in the case in question, but used that point to dismiss the case in the claimants favour. To me, and I don't have your experience or knowledge, that is somewhat troubling. Again, the caveat being that we don't know exactly what went on but I think we can infer the reason for the judgement. Thank-you for your feedback. EDIT: I guess that the case I refer to is only one case and it may never happen again and the strategy not to appeal is still the best strategy even in this event, but I really did find the outcome of that case, not only extremely annoying but also worrying. Let's hope other judges are not quite so narrow minded and don't get fixated on one particular issue as FTMDave alluded to.

    • the claimant in their WS can refer to whatever previous CC judgements they like, as we do in our WS's, but CC judgements do not set a legal precedence. however, they do often refer to judgements like Bevis, those cases do created a precedence as they were court of appeal rulings. as for if the defendant, prior to the raising of a claim, dobbed themselves in as the driver in writing during any appeal to the PPC, i don't think we've seen one case whereby the claimant referred to such in their WS.. ?? but they certainly typically include said appeal letters in their exhibits. i certainly dont think it's a good idea to 'remind' them of such at the defence stage, even if the defendant did admit such in a written appeal. i would further go as far to say, that could be even more damaging to the whole case than a judge admonishing a defendant for not appealing to the PPC in the 1st place. it sort of blows the defendant out the water before the judge reads anything else. dx  
    • Hi LFI, Your knowledge in this area is greater than I could possibly hope to have and as such I appreciate your feedback. I'm not sure that I agree the reason why a barrister would say that, only to get new customers, I'm sure he must have had professional experience in this area that qualifies him to make that point. 🙂 In your point 1 you mention: 1] there is a real danger that some part of the appeal will point out that the person appealing [the keeper ] is also the driver. I understand the point you are making but I was referring to when the keeper is also the driver and admits it later and only in this circumstance, but I understand what you are saying. I take on board the issues you raise in point 2. Is it possible that a PPC (claimant) could refer back to the case above as proof that the motorist should have appealed, like they refer back to other cases? Thanks once again for the feedback.

    • 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.

Hi all

 

So my dad is due to fly to Sweden next month, as his brother is in his final months of live, due to cancer.

 

He booked a flight via Norwegian air for a return trip from Gatwick to Copenhagen for £106.90 on Monday the 17th.

 

He got the confirmation email, so everything looked normal, until Wednesday, he got a series of flight confirmation emails, which listed changes to his flight.

 

The first email was a series of cancellation/time changes, but also included:

 

2 x Checked baggage (10.00 GBP) 0.00 (0%) 20.00

2 x Upgrade fee (36.00 GBP) 0.00 (0%) 72.00

2 x Namechange fee (36.00 GBP) 0.00 (0%) 72.00

2 x Checked baggage (15.00 GBP) 0.00 (0%) 30.00

Fast track 0.00 (0%) 9.00

WCHR – Wheelchair (ramp) 0.00 (0%) 0.00

2 x Hearing impairments 0.00 (0%) 0.00

2 x Vision impairments 0.00 (0%) 0.00

WCHC – Wheelchair (seat) 0.00 (0%) 0.00

 

For a grand total of £289.90

 

The second email was the same thing, but the times were back to their originals, again, the same total price.

 

Third email was the same upgrades/changes again, but also different flight times, with stop overs in Madrid for the return flight

These changes were £629.80

 

Fourth and final email had the same types of changes, only for a lot more money (£1191.70) and included a whole bunch of random things like golf equipment etc.

 

Checked baggage 0.00 (0%) 25.20

4 x Upgrade fee (36.00 GBP) 0.00 (0%) 144.00

Checked baggage 0.00 (0%) 16.80

Checked baggage 0.00 (0%) 43.00

2 x Namechange fee (36.00 GBP) 0.00 (0%) 72.00

2 x Seat reservation (10.00 GBP) 0.00 (0%) 20.00

Checked baggage 0.00 (0%) 32.00

Checked baggage 0.00 (0%) 15.00

2 x Golf equipment 0.00 (0%) 56.00

4 x Ski equipment 0.00 (0%) 112.00

2 x Fast track 0.00 (0%) 9.00

11x Excess baggage 0.00 (0%) 99.00

16x Excess baggage 0.00 (0%) 144.00

Windsurfing equipment 0.00 (0%) 38.00

Kite equipment 0.00 (0%) 38.00

Total Amount 0.00 1191.70

 

All of these individual charges have apparently been debited from his account.

 

So he got in touch with Norwegian Air through their chat system and they were of zero use, basically telling him it wasn't them, it must have been him, or someone else.

He got the same response from their phone line, that he's been hacked, or his account has been hacked and for him to go to his bank and the police.

He doesn't even have an account with norwegian air, so could he or anyone make changes?

 

It was with regret to learn of these charges and changes made to your booking without your knowledge.

 

Unfortunately we are unable to assist you in this matter, you must contact the police and your bank/insurance to cover the costs and report the theft of your personal information.

 

We apologise that we are not able to help you further with this issue and hope that it will be solved by the relevant authorities as soon as possible.

 

He's going down to the police station and bank tomorrow about it, but has anyone else experienced anything like this?

So did he book using the Norwegian Air official site or another site ?

 

Has he checked his bank account to see whether amounts have gone through ?

 

He needs to check with the bank first of all and if fraudulent amounts have been debited, the bank can reject these. He should take a copy of the email received with him, so the bank staff can see it. They should reverse the debits and refund his account. They might cancel his debit card and issue a new card.

 

Local Police might not be interested and will refer him to Action Fraud which is an online reporting system.

We could do with some help from you.

Is his internet connection secure ?

 

Does anyone else use his computer and might have mucked around without realising what they had done e.g young children ?

 

Did anyone go into the Norwegian site to change debit card info held, so when the flights were cancelled any refund would go to a different account ?

 

I can't understand how anyone would make money by doing this, unless they gave different bank details for any cancellation refund.

As far as I know everything is secure, we live in the same household.

 

We have two lodgers here, but my dad was actually here when the emails came through, so no one had access to his computer, or card details.

 

I don't understand it either, all the transactions were debited from his debit card, as it has his debit card number (last 4 digits) on each of the emails.

Before he goes reporting it to the Police or Action fraud, he should think whether anyone has gone onto his computer and mucked around not realising what they have done.

 

I can't see anyone intercepting his internet connection from outside the house and then just messing around with a flight booking. They would not make any money.

 

Or Norwegian Air have made a mistake at their end and did not notice what has happened.
