    • Hmm yes I see your point about proof of postage but nonetheless... "A Notice to Keeper can be served by ordinary post and the Protection of Freedoms Act requires that the Notice, to be valid,  must be delivered either (Where a notice to driver (parking ticket) has been served) Not earlier than 28 days after, nor more than 56 days after, the service of that notice to driver; or (Where no notice to driver has been served (e.g ANPR is used)) Not later than 14 days after the vehicle was parked A notice sent by post is to be presumed, unless the contrary is proved, to have been delivered on the second working day after the day on which it is posted; and for this purpose “working day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday in England and Wales." My question there is really what might constitute proof? Since you say the issue of delivery is a common one I suppose that no satisfactory answer has been established or you would probably have told me.
    • I would stand your ground and go for the interest. Even if the interest is not awarded you will get the judgement and the worst that might happen is that you won't get your claim fee.  However, it is almost inevitable that you will get the interest.  It is correct that it is at the discretion of the judge but the discretion is almost always exercised in favour of the claimant in these cases.  I think you should stand your ground and don't give even the slightest penny away Another judgement against them on this issue would be very bad for them and they would be really stupid to risk it but if they did, it would cost them far more than the interest they are trying to save which they will most likely have to pay anyway
    • Yep, true to form, they are happy to just save a couple of quid... They invariably lose in court, so to them, that's a win. 😅
    • Your concern regarding the 14 days delivery is a common one. Not been on the forum that long, but I don't think the following thought has ever been challenged. My view is that they should have proof of when it was posted, not when they "issued", or printed it. Of course, they would never show any proof of postage, unless it went to court. Private parking companies are simply after money, and will just keep sending ever more threatening letters to intimidate you into paying up. It's not been mentioned yet, but DO NOT APPEAL! You could inadvertently give up useful legal protection and they will refuse any appeal, because they're just after the cash...  
    • The sign says "Parking conditions apply 24/7". Mind you, that's after a huge wall of text. The whole thing is massively confusing.  Goodness knows what you're meant to do if you spend only a fiver in Iceland or you stay a few minutes over the hour there.

    • 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.

:closed_2::closed_2::closed_2: This is going nowhere.......the OP can't/or won't respond due to the nature of his puerile post.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

After all the investigation was done,the charge of Threatening Behaviour was abandoned, and the charge of Staff Disharmony was created instead.

The charge of bringing the company into disrepute still stood, and I was disciplined for those 2 "Offences", to apepar before the Service Delivery Manager yesterday,(friday 27th July).

As well a sseveral documents, from solicitors, police forces, and a case study, I went in with the Union top man and presented my case.

The charge of bringing the company into disrepute was abandoned, due to what I produced, as well as using an excerpt from Witham V Club 24.

The charge of Staff Disharmony i accepted.And walked out with a 6 month warning.

So,to all those who thought they knew the law, and wanted to be judge and jury.You failed.

It's not who you know, it's what you know.

Well, that’s a victory, and shows how you were blameless..... other than you’ve received a warning. You’ll still have to change your behaviour, so if that is your definition of a victory ; “Go you!”

Well, what I know is that you've made yourself look rather daft in the public domain and I'm sure that your co-workers will remember your FB post and regard you fondly, which all in all is nothing to be proud of whatsoever.

And now the company will be doing everything you said you were going to do in your facebook post.

You got away with it, albeit on legal advice to the company.

They will now look at every timecard, every work card, one mistake and they will want to get rid of you.

You may of won the battle, by the skin of your teeth, but the company, if so inclined, will win the war

Congrats on getting just a warning on this one... Now you've gotten past this, make sure you better yourself and keep your nose clean.

Otherwise Office / Work Politics will see you on your way...

“The charge of Staff Disharmony i accepted“

 

I’m sure they are very grateful for your generosity.

 

I hope you recognise this as a load of unnecessary fuss you can avoid by leaving the keyboard alone.

Never assume anyone on the internet is who they say they are. Only rely on advice from insured professionals you have paid for!

I'm sure your work colleagues will be delighted with the result.

 

The Witham case is one of degree so very risky to try and equate the level of severity with that as they were by anyones reckoning very mild. You were lucky your employer made the decision it did rather than you beating the rap by having a cast iron defence.

I wouldnt be surprised if a new notice comes out as a condition of employment about comments on social media. Bringing the company into disrepute doesntr actually need you to do something wrong, just ask Nadey Hakim (look him up and you will see what unfair dismissal is)

Well done to you

 

 

I don't accept nor condone what you did but I congratulate you for standing your ground inspite of the naysayers

 

I don't believe this is a Forum where people should be condemned for their behavior

 

If someone makes a mistake, then advise him how to get out

 

If you don't have any advice, then please just keep quiet

 

 

Once again, congrats and be careful you don't allow your emotions get the better of you

No one is condemning anyones behaviour, simply pointing out the childish nature of the OP.

 

 

You can't go around being the big ''I AM'' and expect to get away without any criticism, you simply can't praise or congratulate bullying.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!
