    • 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.

    • Please provide advice on the following situation: I rented out my property to four students for 16 months until March 2024. Initially, the property was in very good condition, but now it needs extensive renovation. This includes redoing the bathroom, replacing the kitchen, removing wallpaper, and redecorating due to significant mould growth. The tenants also left their furniture on the grass, which is owned by the local authority. As a landlord, I've met all legal requirements. It seems the damage was caused by poor ventilation—windows were always closed, and heating wasn't used. There was also a bathroom leak fixed by reapplying silicone. I tried to claim insurance, but it was denied, citing tenant behaviour as the cause by looking at the photos, which isn't covered. The deposit barely covers the repair costs, or else I'll have to pursue money claims, which I've never done before and am unsure about its legal complications or costs. Any thoughts on this?

    • 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 Everyone

I apologise in advance if this seems like a silly question, but I need some advice/opinion as I have been out of the job seeking market for some time.

 

Basically I have worked for the same company for over 20 years, but due to a takeover and potential relocation of the offices I have been looking for a new job. I have been offered a new job with a local company, they have sent me a a official offer letter detailing just the job title, annual salary and proposed start date. The offer expires in a couple of days and I am not sure what to do in terms of the job employment process. I really want to know more about the terms and conditions of the job like holidays, benefits, etc, but I guess that will be in the contract.

 

My question is, if I say yes to the job offer letter, am I legally bound to them if I change my mind a few days later, what I am trying to work out is at what point is no return, because I am guessing that until I get a contract from and sign it, I cannot hand in my notice with my current employer.

 

Hope that makes some sense.

 

Thanks

As far as I know you can walk away from most jobs without being sued for breach of contract.

Differently if they assign you a project and you walk away half way through it, they could ask for damages.

In your case you haven't started yet, so if you say yes, work 2 days and walk away, the worst they would do is not paying you for the 2 days.

Better ask for t&c of employment before you start as suggested above.

It is a bit strange to say I could just walk away from the contract at anytime, surely the whole point of a contract is make you responsible for your employment, if that was the case I could just walk away from my current employer, but I already know I have to give a months notice.

 

The advice of asking more questions and terms & conditions is a good one, I do not want to mess around a potential new employer, but also would like more information before I agree to join them. My thoughts was that even if I accept the job offer, I could still back out up and until I signed a contract, is that not right?

They've given you a written offer, when you accept it the contract is made. Whatever documents they give later may add extra detail but apply whether you sign them or not as the contract is already in force. So ask for more details now, before accepting anything. No decent employer should mind you asking the questions you want to ask.

 

This question gets asked a lot on some other forums and there's a difference between the law and what's likely to happen in practice. Once you accept this offer you are contractually bound in law, even if you haven't started the job, so if you didn't show up to start work or changed your mind you would, strictly speaking, be in breach of contract. The employer could sue you for their losses (costs) in replacing you.

 

But in practice it's almost unknown for an employer to sue anyone in those circumstances, and for most jobs the additional costs to them of replacing you would be very small. It just isn't worth an employers time to sue people who change their mind after accepting a job and even if they did they'd usually be awarded very little.

 

The bigger risk is that you get a reputation as unreliable and that might have a bigger impact on you. You could be really unlucky when you apply for another job and find their HR person knows the HR person at the company you walked away from!

That is what I thought, all I want is more detail on the terms and conditions of employment in writing, nothing too complex I hope. I will contact them thanking them for the offer and asking those questions, no doubt they will have a standard set of terms they could send me. I will just be honest and upfront with them as I want to start the new job on good terms and clear understanding of what to expect. Thanks

Very strange advice there.

 

Not unusual for people to not show up on their first day.

Also not unusual for people to walk away after a couple of days, after they don't like the job.

When I worked in construction this happened on a daily basis and never anyone mentioned breach of contract, court for losses or similar.

The only thing that could happen to someone who doesn't show up after having accepted the job is that they would not have another chance with that company in future.

It's also extremely unlikely for an hr person to know another hr person from another company and talk about a particular case of no show.

As said this happens everyday.

Look at it another way, what would your response be if you both signed a contract then turn up on your first day only for them to say "so sorry we have changed our minds" ?

that happens all the time, the law of employment contracts are very one sided. Whe you start a job you are only obliged to give a weeks notice and the same goes for the employer (unless you agree to a different notice period inwhich case you have to stick to it but the employer doesnt). Now the contract basically offers you money in exchange for work so that limits any claim form either side as for losses should either of the parties then break that contract. In your case, it you said yes, I will start on the 1st oct and tehn decide you dont want to work for them you wont have actualy crystallised that contract, eevn though you both agreed to a start date. they wont have to apy you and you wont have to start. hey cat sue you for their losses because that is limited to actual work one and any other cost would have bee there regardless of whether you changed your mind or not so if an employer says you were due to start next week but you decided against doing so and we are going to sue you for a breach of contract they cant show any loss so they will lose the claim. liekwise, if they decided they didnt want you the day before you were due to start you wont have actually engaged in work so they dont have to pay you.
