    • Hmm yes I see your point about proof of postage but nonetheless... "A Notice to Keeper can be served by ordinary post and the Protection of Freedoms Act requires that the Notice, to be valid,  must be delivered either (Where a notice to driver (parking ticket) has been served) Not earlier than 28 days after, nor more than 56 days after, the service of that notice to driver; or (Where no notice to driver has been served (e.g ANPR is used)) Not later than 14 days after the vehicle was parked A notice sent by post is to be presumed, unless the contrary is proved, to have been delivered on the second working day after the day on which it is posted; and for this purpose “working day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday in England and Wales." My question there is really what might constitute proof? Since you say the issue of delivery is a common one I suppose that no satisfactory answer has been established or you would probably have told me.
    • I would stand your ground and go for the interest. Even if the interest is not awarded you will get the judgement and the worst that might happen is that you won't get your claim fee.  However, it is almost inevitable that you will get the interest.  It is correct that it is at the discretion of the judge but the discretion is almost always exercised in favour of the claimant in these cases.  I think you should stand your ground and don't give even the slightest penny away Another judgement against them on this issue would be very bad for them and they would be really stupid to risk it but if they did, it would cost them far more than the interest they are trying to save which they will most likely have to pay anyway
    • Yep, true to form, they are happy to just save a couple of quid... They invariably lose in court, so to them, that's a win. 😅
    • Your concern regarding the 14 days delivery is a common one. Not been on the forum that long, but I don't think the following thought has ever been challenged. My view is that they should have proof of when it was posted, not when they "issued", or printed it. Of course, they would never show any proof of postage, unless it went to court. Private parking companies are simply after money, and will just keep sending ever more threatening letters to intimidate you into paying up. It's not been mentioned yet, but DO NOT APPEAL! You could inadvertently give up useful legal protection and they will refuse any appeal, because they're just after the cash...  
    • The sign says "Parking conditions apply 24/7". Mind you, that's after a huge wall of text. The whole thing is massively confusing.  Goodness knows what you're meant to do if you spend only a fiver in Iceland or you stay a few minutes over the hour there.

    • 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.

Unfair redundancy .

They dispute it all .

Sorry to hear that; I found something here - https://www.monacosolicitors.co.uk/templates/ - but a more experienced person may help later; just thought to give them idea for some time so they know boundaries to try and help with - just from my past experience it was not nice to go through. I hope you get it sorted.

Hi , I have got a tribunal claim going on and need some help with drafting my letters , i would be very grateful for any help offered . Thank you

 

What letters? To who? This isn't very much information, and you really need to tell us a lot more before we understand what you are talking about. I hope you have some solid evidence, because tribunals don't like being involved in personal disputes. I'm not saying that's what is going on, but divorces tend to make them look for vendettas in proceedings, which is inevitably going to be at least part of the defence. I don't need a lot of detail to see that coming!

 

So please start at the beginning - tell us why you think it was unfair and what has happened - and what you are stuck with...

Wow. That will teach me to try to help you. Good luck. I'm out. I hope someone who also has the odd 30 years experience of going to tribunals with cases is hanging around willing to be insulted by you. You really need to get a grip. Pull a tantrum like that in a tribunal and you will be out of the door so fast your feet won't touch the ground.

Come on Sangie, don't be like that.

Just write a letter, any letter about anything for her...

I woud say breakdown in personl realtionship and inability to work together is a reason for dismissal for "some other significant reason." Not aure I'd have gone with redundancy but the outcome is the same.

Never assume anyone on the internet is who they say they are. Only rely on advice from insured professionals you have paid for!

Why was sangues reply patronising?

I didn't find it that way at all.

 

Tone can be very hard to read in the written word :/

at least the reasons for the divorce wont need explaining.

OP if you read through your original post you will hopefully see that it is so vague as to be incomprehensiible as to what you want othe rthan someone to help write letters. People dont send letters to Tribunals, they send statements, evidence submissions etc. This may seem picky butknowing about the procedure and its terminology will help you massively and this means either reading up on it or passing the whole lot on to a professional.

Good to hear that you have got what you need for now deedee43.

 

For what its worth, I thought sangie's reply was helpful rather than patronising. She definitely knows what she is talking about. It is very difficult to convey tone across the internet so it is easy to misread things.

 

Feel free to post further details if you need more help.
