    • 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

    • 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

my friend bought a sofa for his daughter from an online retailer.

It arrived defective and after much back and forth the result is that they won’t resolve the issue.

 

He went to his bank and tried to claim as he paid with his credit card.

They say he’s not covered because the sofa he bought was delivered to his daughter.

Their terms make no mention of this from what we could see and it seems irrelevant as he still paid for it on his credit card in good faith and the item as defective and not as described.

Are they saying the issue is the daughter signed for the goods being in good condition? (How people are supposed to know this when the delivery team thrust paperwork under their noses and say “we just need a signature here” I don’t know!)

 

Otherwise, I think a s.75 claim should succeed.

S’75 relies on making the cc company equally liable as the retailer (subject to minimum and maximum values, and a few other restrictions).

Here the contract was between your friend and the retailer, and it doesn’t matter who / where the delivery was to.

You can bet that if the daughter approached the retailer and/or cc company they’d be saying “we owe you no responsibility, our contract wasn’t with you”

They can’t have it both ways!

 

He should write to the cc company, highlighting this, and if they still resist come back here for help composing a letter before claim to be sent to both the retailer and cc company.

Why have you not told us which sofa company this is?

 

I would not accept the section 75 refusal – I would put in a complaint immediately and tell them that you wanted to go to the ombudsman. Do this in writing. Do immediately. They have eight weeks to respond.

 

Meanwhile, tell us more about the sofa and the sofa company and we can advise you about taking an action directly against them. What were the defects? Have you itemised them in a letter? Have you taken photographs?

 

Also, tell us more about how the purchase was made. Was it made online? Or was it made after a visit to the shop?. How quickly did the defect materialise? How quickly did you bring the notice of the defect to the attention of the seller? What did you ask the seller to do? Did you ask them to refund? Replace?

 

You will need to engage with this thread if you want some help.

Company was called sofa club but seem to trade under a few different names. My friend is not the type to pursue matters like this so I checked online to see that he was covered by section 75 rang his bank explained the issue and passed the phone over to him. They said they would let him know their decision. He then got an email or letter saying it was denied due to it being delivered to his daughter. I could not see why his bank was being so difficult being that I could find no exclusions relating to the delivery address.

I believe there was a problem with the arm of the chair upon arrival and general quality was so poor that it started to fall apart almost immediately. After countless communications with the company they failed to repair or replace and seemed like they were just procrastinating the issue, they promised to come and look at it but then said the same thing again after, it had been ongoing for some months.

I will get more info when I next see him, but from what he’s said it’s a waste of time talking to the company hence going down the claims route with the bank.
