    • If you do get a letter of Claim and or Pre Action Protocol pack 15. Where there has been non-compliance with a pre-action protocol or this Practice Direction, the court may order that (a) the parties are relieved of the obligation to comply or further comply with the pre-action protocol or this Practice Direction; (b) the proceedings are stayed while particular steps are taken to comply with the pre-action protocol or this Practice Direction; (c) sanctions are to be applied. 16. The court will consider the effect of any non-compliance when deciding whether to impose any sanctions which may include— (a) an order that the party at fault pays the costs of the proceedings, or part of the costs of the other party or parties; (b) an order that the party at fault pay those costs on an indemnity basis; (c) if the party at fault is a claimant who has been awarded a sum of money, an order depriving that party of interest on that sum for a specified period, and/or awarding interest at a lower rate than would otherwise have been awarded; (d) if the party at fault is a defendant, and the claimant has been awarded a sum of money, an order awarding interest on that sum for a specified period at a higher rate, (not exceeding 10% above base rate), than the rate which would otherwise have been awarded. https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/pd_pre-action_conduct   .

    • Thanks all! My wife was driving at the time (took our daughter to get new school uniform) and I wasn't there so I'm not sure what the signage was actually like, but yes, Parkopedia says 2:30, so it's barely over that. I will check it out with her when she gets home later, I haven't even told her about this yet as she'll probably be quite upset. So - likely my best response at this stage is to just wait it out until a Letter Before Claim arrives?

    • 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.

Companies House today 12/06/18 confirmed that Claire Louise Sandbrook, High Court Enforcement Officer and owner of Shergroup Ltd is officially a resident in the USA, as per her completed form for Persons with Significant Control dated last year on 02/06/2017 (but filed today).

 

12 Jun 2018 - Change of details for Mrs Claire Louise Sandbrook as a person with significant control on 2 June 2017 - New Country /State usually resident: United States

 

https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/04771589/filing-history

 

Given that aside from Shergroup, Sandbrook sells her authority as an HCEO to the likes of DCBL and many other HCEO "franchises" does she really have control of the writs issued in her name?

 

With the recent DCBL case it would appear not - DCBL Ordered to pay £20k

 

Maybe it's finally time for a review into the HCEO system... :?:

Has anyone seen the judgement in Rooftops South West Limited, James Slocombe, Paul Howell and Marcus Davis v. Ash Interiors (UK) Limited, Direct Collection Bailiffs Limited and Claire Sandbrook [2018] EWHC 2798 (QB) ?

 

Could it please be made available here?

 

Apparently the judge commented about Claire Sanbrook (the third defendant in this case) purporting to exercise control over Direct Control Bailiffs Ltd (or their agents) from Florida.

I was provided with a copy of the Judgment in December. There is no doubt about it...it is a damning judgment. It was provided to me in confidence but I am aware that it has been referred to elsewhere in the last 24 hours so I will be asking whether it can be made public.

Would be good if it could BA, Sandbrook needs removing from the HCEO register, she cannot exercise Due Diligence from the USA.

We could do with some help from you.

It is no secret that I have been a critic of CS precisely because of the reason that you have stated. However, it is lot more complicated than her being a resident of USA. As difficult as it is to believe, membership of the High Court Enforcement Officer Association is open to overseas as well as UK residents. I know of two HCEO's who live in Europe.

So in theory Dog the Bounty Hunter could apply and be on the Register with them?

 

Should be UK Resident only.

The full judgement is online as a pdf document. The Judge ordered for DCBL to pay for transcripts of the full Judgement to be provided.

 

The Judgement was also going to be referred to a senior Judge to consider the matters further. Was not happy that HCEO's were being managed from Florida.

just pm'd you, don't know why its 404 the full link works for me but when I put it on the forum the 404 comes up

 

I think this is either Wordpress or CAG stopping the information being linked to around the internet.

 

while this particular information might be totally OK, if it were a rac*sts blog or something defamatory, then publication beyond the first site would make it potentially very expensive and impossible to contain.

 

I just googled the case mentioned in E Munchs post and it came up in search. So just use google.

Many thanks for that, I've managed to download the PDF.

If you google "[2018] EWHC 2798 (QB)" (including the quotation marks"") then the pdf should come up.

 

I think why I wasn't finding it was that I was searching on the names rather than the citation.

I think that this belief(under), which is still perpetuated among many HCEO, has much to do with their attitude to enforcement and debtors.

 

44. It remains to deal with what I have called DCBL's overarching defence. This found its clearest expression in paragraph 29 of the witness statement of Ms Miah dated 10 October 2017. In that paragraph she said as follows:

"DCBL are commanded by the High Court to enforce the High Court writ. As such, all conduct by DCBL was carried out lawfully."

 

It is of course wrong, as said many times on here. The HCEOs powers are those contained within Schedule 12 of the TCE, the same as any Bailiff who seeks to take control of goods. No more no less.

Agree DB, but the attitude of DCBL seems to be play to the cameras, they owe the money, we use the "Ways & Means Act" to get it, it makes good TV. Wonder what's next, Sandbrook brings Dog The Bounty Hunter over and lets him loose on camera with DCBL, partnering Bohill?

It amazes me that DCBL felt so confident that they could act beyond their powers, they showed it on TV.

 

Even when the issue arrived in court they couldn't be bothered to prepare a proper defence, supreme arrogance.

Unfortunately, that appears to be more difficult than it should be.

 

I would suggest that the Regulations relating to the authorisation of a High Court enforcement officer need urgent review, if that isn't happening already. Like many regulations in other sectors, they are just not fit for purpose for the way the industry has evolved in recent years.
