    • Hmmm, interesting point. In my career, that I am retired from now, there were an immense amount of rules and regulations that one had to adhere to by law. The qualification process is rigorous with on going assessments throughout your career and re-certification every 12 months. If you were shown to be not competent in those rules and regulations you could not hold the position and the operational consequences of that could potentially be dire. In the same respect, perhaps a judge who is not conversant in the rules of POFA should not sit in on cases that requires proficiency in that area? I also bow to your considerable knowledge in this area, perhaps I shouldn't be commenting but by doing so I find it helps the learning process. Your last point has just reminded me of something that may help my case, thank you.
    • Just had an email re the my breache in agreement by her rep.   I asked you yesterday if they had asked about her name in the thread being removed.   The issue they have is the Elizabeth turner and genetic pups entry on google.   they knew I did not put it up and told them so in court.  I dnt know how to post on google.   I told them I cannot remove what I did not post.  when i come back here and saw her name gone from threads title, I presumed her reps sought it.   now I get an email saying her names still on google ur breaching the agreement as it’s still on google.

    • How does one obtain the permit? The permit team number is only open between the hours of 9am to 3pm Mon - Fri. It says on the website, To obtain an additional 2 hours, the driver must pay a tariff of £3.00 + booking fees in person at our Security Hut, is that how you get the permit also, from the security hut? What a rigmaroll that would be but maybe just another step to take to try and catch people out?
    • Anotheruser0000 bear in mind that not all Judges are equally versed in the PoFA regulations. Fortunately now most of them are but sometimes a Judge from a higher Court sits in who is well experienced  in Law but not PoFA. and so they sometimes go "offkey" because their knowledge can raise a different set of arguments and solutions. It does seem particularly unfair  when the decision is so  bad . it can also be that in some situations the motorist being a lay person is not sufficiently know ledgeable to be able to counter a Judge's decisions in a way that a barrister could.

    • 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.

About two weeks ago I went for my bi-annual eye test and was told that my driving and reading glasses need updating. Last Wednesday i picked them up and no real issue with my driving glasses however the reading reading glasses are another issue. With my old glasses I have no issue reading off my laptop, magazine or Kindle. The latter two are about 14" from my eyes when holding them on my lap. However with the new specs unless I am holding the magazine or Kindle about 1' from my eyes, the print is not clear and sharp. If I read at my normal distance I am now finding that after a while I get a migraine and I am not one to suffer from migraines.

 

Went back to the optician yesterday firstly to get one the lens for my driving glasses put back in as it had fallen out and also to raise the issue of my reading glasses. I was told by the optician that after a couple of months my eyes will adjust to the new glasses and that I should persevere with them? I always thought that glasses were to supposed correct your eyesight and not for your eyes to correct themselves to adapt to the new glasses?

 

Never had this issue previously so a bit unsure however I do not enjoy migraines. Should I find another optician and pay again?

Shouldnt take a couple months to adjust at all. Should take a few days to a week at most.

This is what I am thinking. I might as well have walked into Boots and bought two magnifying glasses and asked them to frame them in the hope that eventually my eyes will adjust to them.

Theree are one or two opticians out there who will hold back your prescription with a view to selling you some expensive new glasses. These same ones also fail to let you know if there has been a significant change in your prescription. For Reading are you sure you cannot just use those sold over the counter. I have always collected my prescription and gone elsewhere.

Unfortunately I found that opticians tempt to change your prescription slightly so you get new lenses if not new spectacles.

Whenever I go to have a test now I say that I will buy new spectacles no matter what because the ones I have are scratched and I don't like them anymore.

Prescription hasn't changed in 10 years.

Weird?

I have arranged an appointment for tomorrow and will insist on copies of the prescription and also the previous subscription. I am wondering why I can clearly read the print on my laptop with glasses that were issued to me back in 2014?

Remember you have paid for a Service.

 

I would start questioning the Opticians as were the Glasses made in store or sent away to a central Lab (has the Lab messed up?)

 

Why have you had to have the lens put back into one set of glasses and the other pair difficult to read with. I would not accept this and would be challenging the Opticians to rectify these issue and you want clarification that the lenses in the glasses you are having reading problems from are the correct lenses fitted.

 

You are fully entitled to a copy of your prescription and if this Opticians.

 

Do some checks on the actual Opticians as the may actually just be a Franchise of a larger chain but using there name so look them up on companies house.
