    • Better version attached with the late appeal explained more clearly for the judge. This will sound silly, but I think it would be a good idea to e-mail it to the court and UKPC on Sunday.  It's probably me being daft, but Sunday is still March, and as it's late, sending it in March rather than April will make it sound like it was less late than it really is.  if you get my drift. You can still pop in a paper version on Tuesday if you want. E-mail address for the court: [email protected] And for UKPC: [email protected]   [email protected] Defendant WS.pdf
    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • 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.

    • 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 to attend magistrates last year (May 17) for doing 42 in a 30mph zone in August 2016.

 

I had not received any previous corespondence (as far as I was aware) so was unaware of the incident until I received the 'notice of endorsement of driving record' - a £800+ fine and 6 points.

 

I put in a statutory declaration explaining I had received no prior corespondence and I was given a new hearing

(speaking to a solicitor friend a year after he said I should have requested a complete 'reset' and requested the initial fixed penalty notice as I hadn't been aware of the incident at all).

 

In court I explained that on that particular day I was driving to work to a new place and was unfamiliar with the road,

I had previously driven on it years ago and the speed limit back then was 40mph,

it's one of these roads where the speed limit changes from 50 to 30 back to 50 again as you pass by residential areas.

 

I explained I wasn't speeding on purpose, and that I was always used to it being 40 on that section of the road.

Plus it was early morning and I was going through a rough period at the time.

Regardless I was still fined £400 and given 6 points.

 

Speaking to a friend recently, he said I was treated extremely harshly as 42 is just bordering on Band B (under the new rules), and even then the judges had leeway as you could argue that the speed cameras have a margin of error +/-2mph, so I could well have been within Band A.

 

Also Band B denotes 4-6 points, and a minimum fine of £100, given the circumstances he said I should have been shown some leeway and been handed the minimum fine.

 

I Just want some advice regarding this and whether I can appeal given the timescale.

I've move you to the speeding forum rather than the private parking forum..

 

cant see how you cant avoid this as you were doing 42 in a 30...

unless it is your 1st offence?

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...

Thank you. Had speeding fines years ago. But had a clean licence for a few years now.

I started driving before there was a 70 mph NSL and the breathalyser etc, which I cannot now avoid.

I have to use my Mk 1 eyeball for changes in speed limit on roads which I may have travelled recently.

Since you received no prior paperwork, it is possible you Rx 6 points for FTF, an Offence that is complete 28 days from date of s172 request. Unless you were 'pulled' at time of 'exceeding the speed limit, there is no way they can identify the driver resp without s172, hence the FTF Penalty.

in essence you have answered you own query, you didnt go back to the beginning and pleaded guilty to exceeding the speed limit ( and damed well nearly got yourself another interview for driving without due care and attention to boot) so what is done is now then end of the matter.

First of all, can you confirm that you were convicted of speeding and not “Failing to Provide Driver’s Details” (FtP). The easiest way to find out is to look at the endorsement code on your driving record (which you can do online). Speeding will see a code SP30 whilst failing to provide will show MS90.

 

I ask because six points is indeed harsh for 42 in 30 limit. As you say, it is only just into the middle band of seriousness where the guidelines suggest 4 to 6 points and a Band B fine. However, the only available penalty for FtP is six points and a Band C fine. You are, however, incorrect when you say

 

...Band B denotes 4-6 points, and a minimum fine of £100

 

A Band B fine is income based and relates to one week’s net income. This would be reduced by a third for a guilty plea. Where no income details are available the court uses a figure of £440 per week. However, Magistrates do have the discretion to sentence at the Fixed Penalty level (£100 and 3 points) where they believe there are circumstances unconnected with the offence itself which prevented a FP being accepted (but this is nothing to do with a “Band B” fine).

 

Your Statutory Declaration nullified your earlier conviction (as if it had never happened) and it is up to the police (who prosecute motoring offences in most areas) what they do next. They may have re-charged you with speeding or they may have gone for a FtP charge. Is there any particular reason why you received no paperwork originally? Was your address correct on the V5C Registration Document? Had you recently acquired the vehicle?

 

If you were convicted of FtP then an appeal is largely pointless. There is no Fixed Penalty available for the offence and it can only be dealt with in court. A penalty of £400 (which I assume includes the “surcharge” and costs) is by no means harsh and six points is the only available option. However, if you were convicted of speeding you might consider an appeal against your sentence. Six points is harsh and apart from that you may be able to persuade the court to sentence you at the Fixed Penalty equivalent (depending on the circumstances which led to you not receiving any paperwork for the original offence). Your only realistic avenue to attempt to reduce your penalty is via an appeal against sentence to the Crown Court. In pleading guilty at the Magistrates’ Court you accept the allegation (including the speed alleged so no point in arguing about that). However, there are two obstacles: Firstly, the cost of failure there is high (about £1,200); secondly the appeal has to be lodged within 21 days of your conviction. So firstly find out what you have been convicted of and we can go from there.

 

Finally:

 

…and damed well nearly got yourself another interview for driving without due care and attention to boot

 

Perhaps ericsbrother would like to explain why that should be as you have given no indication that an allegation of that nature was ever made against you.
