    • 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.

This is for a friend.

 

He signed a contract of employment with company A

 

All his payslip and letters were in Company B's name

 

He lost his job

 

He took his Company B to the Tribunal and lost

 

Among the arguments put forward by the Respondent was that he was employed by Company A and not B.

 

He lost due to some other reasons.

 

He is now appealing

 

He has now discovered that Company A has always being a Dormant company.

 

Companies House records it as Dormant and Non Trading.

 

And this is both before and after his employment.

 

He wants to state that the Respondent lied in that matter and hence lied in other matters.

 

I didn't discuss with him regarding the merit of the original claim.

 

I really don't know what to think

 

So guys please your views.

 

Great if you have case laws to support.

 

Thanks

Those are not grounds for appeal. IF someone lied about one thing that is not evidence that they lied about anything else. And appeals do not rehear the case anyway.

 

Plus this is not new evidence. It was always available. The fact her didn't know it was because he didn't do his research well enough - if he had, he could have introduced this at the tribunal. There are no second bites of the cherry.

 

And he lost, you say, on other grounds. So this fact was not pertinent to the case - it had no influence on the reasons he lost.

What about propensity?

 

If a person has misled the Tribunal in a fundamental way, then that should be relevant.

 

I really don't know.

 

He is thinking of seeking legal advice on Tuesday.

 

Also, there is no statute of limitation on fraud.

 

He could redo his appeal all over again.

 

Sometimes, Interest of Justice would ensure that the case is reheard.

 

This is a tough one!

You should of done thorough research.

Its public knowledge.

Did the respondent lie?

If the subject was not brought up ( as you claim its new evidence (and its not))

How can a person lie when they are not asked.

Misleading and lying are two different things. But even if they lied, it is still impossible to identify ANOTHER lie based on a lie about something else.

 

BUT according to you, he lost on other grounds. So the lie had no bearing on the decision. Assuming it's a lie. Because in the first place, it is entirely possible that the employer did believe it; and there is no objective evidence that the employer is not company A. Being dormant, in and of itself, is not actually objective evidence of that. I wouldn't make such an assumption unless I was privy to the details the tribunal had and their reasoning for a decision. And what "should" be relevant, in your opinion, doesn't make it so.

 

But there do not appear to be any legitimate grounds here for an appeal. There is no point of law involved in the employer being a better liar than your friend. And if you want to be pedantic about it, everybody "lies" in a tribunal - it's an adversarial court in which each party tells their version of the truth, whether or not they know it to be the case. Subjective "fact" is rarely cut and dried.

 

If there is claimed to be new evidence, that is the subject of a review, not an appeal, which may only be on the grounds of a point of law or perversity. But this is not new evidence. It is evidence that always existed which he didn't bother to check - checking out your employers records being a very basic point to do! But you will not succeed on a review that says that he lied about one thing therefore lied about everything else. If, as I say, it was a lie.

I'm not sure what lie the employer is supposed to have told.

 

His contract of employment was with company A but as company A was non-trading he was paid by Company B (presumably a related comapny?). If so your point is what? There's nothing obviously illegal or fraudulent about that, not on what you've said so I'm not sure how the Respondent misled the Tribunal.

 

Naming company B as the Respondent instaed of Company A wouldn't usually be a major issue. It's usually possible to amend the name of the Respondent in circumstances like that. Anyway it doesn't appear to be why he lost his case at Tribunal.

Hi - Whether or not a witness gave credible evidence is an issue of fact for the trial judge to decide, not something that will be revisited on appeal.

 

The appeal only looks at points of law. The appeal procedure does not involve hearing from witnesses again.

 

If the alleged "lying" was not raised in the original hearing, unfortunately I think he will struggle to raise it now. You can't use an appeal as an opportunity to raise new arguments that were not made in the original hearing. Your friend would have been required to disclose the documents he intended to rely on before the hearing. Unless something major has changed with Companies House since the hearing you can't introduce new evidence now.

 

A good idea to seek legal advice on whether an appeal would have a chance of success.

third party agreements are not uncommon. Yiur friend may well have had a reason to claim form company A or B or even both, the "who should I sue" would be irrelevant. If A had assigned everything to B then suing A is OK, suing B is OK and then company A saying they werent liable would get short shrift

I think that this is a red herring, you have already said that he lost for other reasons. If you look up case law on peopel behaving in a manner that breaks the law in one area it doesnt change a contractual relationship to others. VCS v HMRC and VCS v Somerfield show this. Robbing a third party blind doesnt negate a contract between the first and second parties.

Hi everyone,

 

The Appeal Tribunal has still not given a date for the Appeal Hearing

The Tribunal has now agreed a Reconsideration Hearing

The reason the Tribunal gave is that it is in the interest of justice

Clearly, the credibility issue is on the mind of the Tribunal

The Recon Hearing is for the end of this month

My question is this; if he is successful at the Recon Hearing and he gets a retrial, can he ask for Cost?
