    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • 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.

Jessops - Faulty 5.5 yr old camera DSLR

Hi all,

 

I purhased a Canon DSLR in April 2012 ago on credit card (which I no longer hold) from Jessops.

 

It has just developed a fault whereby the mode dial does not select the correct shooting mode.

Am I covered under the sale of goods act/consumer rights act as it now is?

 

To complicate things, I think Jessops went into administration in 2015, then started trading again?

 

More importantly, I am currently travelling in Central America and Australia for the next 18 months, so need to get this fixed locally (currently Panama City).

I have checked my travel insurance policy and it does not cover electrical or mechanical breakdown, so I don't think I am covered by that.

 

Any advice on how to procede would be much appreciated.

 

Kind regards.

How long do you think the ‘average’ DSLR of that price should last?

Bearing in mind that is an average, Some will last longer, others less ... so what is the earliest you feel it is acceptable one should fail?

Exactly, neither Jessops or Cannon will have any responsibility for a camera that old. I should imagine in terms of any reasonable expectation of product lifespan, that this would have to be argued in a court. But this is not going to happen.

 

The consumer would need to obtain an inspection report from a camera technician, confirming what the fault was, whether it could be fixed and if so how much. Remember that even if it was a manufacturers fault and the camera was not repairable, that any court claim would be for any loss of reasonable lifespan. So if a camera should last 6 years and cost say £600 originally. If the camera failed when it was 5.5 years old, the claim amount would only be £50. Given cost of technician report and court claim, with little chance of success, the consumer would not bother.

 

If the camera could be fixed, then no chance of claiming back repair cost.

 

So in this situation. It is a repair at your own expense or you buy a replacement camera.

We could do with some help from you.

quite often see these faults in say the 450d etc

its simply old age and dirt

 

there are guides on the net upon how to get to it

all it need is usually a spray of contact cleaner like servisol 10 or alike [NOT WD40!]

 

for that age there wont be any cover under SOGA/CRA.

 

most camera shops that do basic repairs should be able to fix it for about £30-50

or with a jewellers screwdriver set you can do it yourself

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Am I too late to chip in?

 

 

Several years ago I bought a laptop with my credit card for £900.

After about 30 months it melted whilst using it. I mean proper melted at the back. Smoke and stuff.

Comet weren't interested as it was out of the 24 month warranty.

I rang, at that time, Consumer Advice? Not Citizens.

The lad explained any item must last 6 years, unless it's wear and tear etc.

He explained it with -

I live on my own. I watch the TV for about 2 hours a night. If it packed up after 5 1/2 years I could claim back from the card company, because no way had it been caused by wear and tear.

Living on my own, I sit on my settee to watch TV. If after 5 1/2 years it started showing signs of wear I could claim from the card company. If I was married with 3 kids and a dog bouncing about on it, that would be a different matter.

Following his advice on several occasions, I wrote to the card company.

They arranged for me to take it to a local computer shop to have it checked, paid for by them.

The card company took the full 11 weeks they were allowed to sort it, but in the end they gave me a cheque for £700 to buy a new laptop. They reasoned, correctly, that in the 2 1/2 years I'd had it, laptops had come down in price and also advanced in performance.

They sent me a cheque and said it was up to me what I spent it on.

 

 

Just saying.

 

 

Paul

What, EXACTLY, are you 'just saying'?

 

That the OP might be able to claim that the item should have lasted 6 years instead of 5 1/2?.

 

The OP might indeed be able to do so. That'd get them a refund of 1/12 of the purchase price .

How do you expect them to be able to get that refund?

 

To do so they'd likely need to get an expert's report, and their original post notes they are off traveling.

 

UB covered this well in their contribution:

Exactly, neither Jessops or Cannon will have any responsibility for a camera that old. I should imagine in terms of any reasonable expectation of product lifespan, that this would have to be argued in a court. But this is not going to happen.

 

The consumer would need to obtain an inspection report from a camera technician, confirming what the fault was, whether it could be fixed and if so how much.

So in this situation. It is a repair at your own expense or you buy a replacement camera.
