    • Nick Wallis has written up the first day of Angela van den Bogerd's evidence to the inquiry. I thought she was awful. She's decided to go with being not bright enough to spot what was happening over Fujitsu altering entries on the Horizon system, rather than covering up important facts. She's there today as well.

    • 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.

 

Made an order with Wickes 15days ago to arrive 14 days ago. All i keep hearing from them is my local store will contact me, which they haven't.

 

This isn't the first time this has happened. The last time it happened i got half a delievery and the store refused to deliver the rest because on their system it said it was all delievered. Customer relations informed me of this as the store would not get in touch with me even though they were told to to do that. I was eventually compensated for it, after 3 or 4 weeks of rining, so it was all sorted.

 

Now this delivery, i honesty don't want to keep emailing them and chasing them up, because i shouldn't have to.

 

Legally what can i do about it? I picked the day i wanted it delievered, had someone be there during the 10hour time slot and paid £30. In their terms and conditions, there is definitely a contract between us and they are obliged to either deliever the items or send me written information that they have cancelled it. But it says they don't have to do anything for 30 days after they recieve payment. Im wondering, if i keep quiet too, will they even do anything or notice after 30days is up?

 

Appreciate any help or advice : )

 

Regards

 

Jana

 

 

Here are parts their terms and conditions:

 

 

 

How the Contract Is Formed Between Us

 

Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. Please take the time to read and check your order at each stage of the order process.

 

After you place an order, we will send you an e-mail to confirm that we have received it (Order Acknowledgement). However, this does not mean that your order has been accepted by us.

 

Unless you cancel your order in accordance with our Cancellations, Returns and Refunds policy (see below) or we have contacted you to confirm that we are unable to accept your order, our acceptance of your order will occur automatically on the earlier of the date we deliver the Products to you or 7 days following the date we send our Order Acknowledgement e-mail. The Contract between us will only be formed at this time.

 

We reserve the right to reject any order for any reason and no order will be accepted until payment is received in full for all Products and any related delivery charges.

 

All orders are subject to stock availability. If we are unable to supply any of the Products that you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible. In the event that an out-of-stock product is part of an order and we cannot contact you, we will send what products we have in stock, refunding the purchase price of any unavailable product where payment has already been made.

 

Delivery

 

 

For full details of our delivery service, delivery locations and charges please refer to our Delivery Information and Charges page.

 

All quoted delivery dates and times are estimates and although we will try our best to meet them we will not be responsible if we are unable to do so. We will let you know if we cannot deliver your products within 30 days of when we receive your payment and will give you the option to either wait for the Products or cancel your order and receive a full refund.

 

We strongly recommend that you do not book fitters or trades persons until your order has been delivered and checked by you. We cannot be held responsible for any third-party costs or charges which you incur due to non-delivery of an order, or orders that have not been checked on delivery.

You don't need a written contract to say that they are contractually bound to make the delivery as agreed. Furthermore, if you have incurred any losses as a result of their broken delivery agreement then you would be entitled to recover those. You will also be entitled to cancel the order and to purchase the item somewhere else.

 

I'm afraid that the problem with these people is – that it's up to you to decide what you want to do about it. Of course the one thing that makes them sit up and take notice is that you bring a legal action against them. That won't resolve your problem immediately but it will give you some satisfaction and eventually will give you some compensation. It's a bit of a hassle – but it's not too difficult and on the basis of what you say, your chances of success are better than 95%. If you found something like that interesting and you will gain some transferable skills – then we will be pleased to help you. I know it sounds extreme and dramatic – but frankly you don't have any other weapons in your armoury for this kind of thing. You either have to grin and bear it or you have to take serious action. There is no middle ground.

 

If you wanted to sue them then I would be thinking of doing it for about £100. Considering that you've already spent out £30 on getting somebody to waiting for you plus the aggravation et cetera, hundred pounds a bit more than you would be entitled to but I think that it gets so close that unless they wanted to be really stupid, they would pay out rather than go to the hassle of going to court. These people are not used to being challenged in court – and they need it in order to give them a bit of encouragement to improve their services for everyone. Especially as you say that it is the second time that it is happen to you. I don't think you should be paranoid enough to believe that it's only you. It must be happening to lots of their customers – who unfortunately also decide to grin and bear it. The result is that Wicks get away with being a crappy company with crappy policies and crappy customer services – and all their customers sit around like monkeys grinning and bearing it.

I absolutely agree with you.

 

I was actually thinking they pay £30 for each day since the day it was supposed to be delievered ;)

 

Where do i start? How do i start?

Hi

 

Sorry for the late update. Health hasn't been good.

 

So, Wickes customer relations department and i had gone back and forth. In the end my order did arrive and i had the driver return a few.

 

I told them of the returns, they did not acknowledge it nor refund it (23£) and gave me £30 (delievery fee) as "a gesture of good will"

 

I got so angry with this that i told them i no longer wish to communicate unless in court and that i would be suing for £200.

 

Long story short, I've got a check in the post for £200 without going to court. Should have said 300 lol

 

Thank you for all your help.

 

Thank you Stu007 for the info
