    • This is the other sign  parking sign 1a.pdf
    • 4 means that they need to name and then tell the people who will be affected that there has been an application made, what the application relates to (specificially "whether it relates to the exercise of the court’s jurisdiction in relation to P’s property and affairs, or P’s personal welfare, or to both) and what this application contains (i.e what order they want made as a result of it) 5 just means that teh court think it is important that the relevant people are notified 7 means that the court need more information to make the application, hence they have then made the order of paragraph 1 which requires the applicant to do more - this means the court can't make a decision with the current information, and need more, hence paragraph one of the order is for the applicant to do more. paragraph 3 of the order gives you the ability to have it set aside, although if it was made in january you are very late. Were you notiifed of the application or not?    
    • These are the photos of the signs. At the entrance there is a 7h free sign. On some bays there is a permit sign.  Also their official website is misleading as it implies all parking is free.  I can't be certain of the exact parking bay I was in that day, and there was no PCN ticket on my car and no other evidence was provided.  parking sign 2.pdf
    • Hi, In my last post I mentioned I had received an email from SS who were asking me to hand over the keys to my mother’s flat so they could pass them to the Law firm who have been appointed court of protection to access, secure and insure my mother’s property.  Feeling this, all quickly getting out of my hands I emailed ss requesting proof of this. I HAVEN’T HEARD BACK FROM SS.  Yesterday, I received an email (with attached court of protection order) from the Law Firm confirming this was correct (please see below a copy of this).  After reading the court of protection order I do have some concerns about it:   (a)   I only found out yesterday, the Law firm had been appointed by the court back in January.  Up until now, I have not received any notification regarding this.  (b)   Section 2   - States I am estranged from my mother.  This is NOT CORRECT    The only reason I stepped back from my mother was to protect myself from the guy (groomer) who had befriended her & was very aggressive towards me & because of my mother’s dementia she had become aggressive also.  I constantly tried to warned SS about this guy's manipulative behaviour towards my mother and his increasing aggressiveness towards me (as mentioned in previous posts).  Each time I was ignored.  Instead, SS encouraged his involvement with my mother – including him in her care plans and mental health assessments.   I was literally pushed out because I feared him and my mother’s increasing aggression towards me. Up until I stepped back, I had always looked after my mother and since her admission to the care home, I visit regularly.   .(c)    Sections -  4, 5 and 7  I am struggling to understand these as I don’t have a legal background.  I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to explain what they mean.  It’s been a horrendous situation where I had to walk away from my mother at her most vulnerable because of; ss (not helping), scammer and groomer. I have no legal background, nor experience in highly manipulative people or an understanding of how the SS system operates, finding myself isolated, scared and powerless to the point I haven’t collected my personal belongings and items for my mother’s room in the care home.  Sadly, the court has only had heard one version of this story SS’s, and based their decision on that. My mother’s situation and the experience I have gone through could happen to anyone who has a vulnerable parent.    If anyone any thoughts on this much appreciated.  Thank you. ______________________________________________________  (Below is the Court of Protection Order)  COURT OF PROTECTION                                                                                                                                                                                   No xxx  MENTAL CAPACITY ACT 2005 In the matter of Name xxx ORDER Made by  Depty District Judge At xxx Made on xxx Issued on 18 January 2024  WHEREAS  1.     xxx Solicitors, Address xxx  ("Applicant”) has applied for an order under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.  2.     The Court notes (my mother) is said to be estranged from all her three children and only one, (me) has been notified.  3.     (Me) was previously appointed as Atorney for Property and Affairs for (my mother).  The Exhibity NAJ at (date) refers to (me) and all replacement Attorneys are now officially standing down.  4.     Pursuant to Rule 9.10 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 and Practice Direction 9B the Applicant 2must seek to identify at least three persons who are likely to have an interest in being notified that an application has been issues.”  The children of (my mother), and any other appointed attorneys are likely to have an interest in the application, because of the nature of relationship to (my mother).  5.     The Court considers that the notification requirements are an important safeguard for the person in respect of whom an order is sought.  6.     The Court notes that it is said that the local authority no longer has access to (my mother’s) Property.  7.     Further information is required for the Court to determine the application.  IT IS ORDERED THAT  Within 28 days of the issue date this order, the Applicant shall file a form COP24 witness statement confirming that the other children of (my mother) and any replacement attorneys have been notified of the application and shall confirm their name, address, and date upon which those persons were notified.  If the Applicant wishes the Court to dispense with any further notification, they should file a COP9 and COP24 explaining, what steps (if any) have been taken to attempt notification and why notification should be dispensed with.   Pending the determination of the application to appoint a deputy for (my mother), the Applicant is authorised to take such steps as are proportionate and necessary to access, secure and insure the house and property of (my mother).   This order was made without a hearing and without notice.  Any person affected by this order may apply within 21 days of the date on which the order was served to have the order set aside or varied pursuant to Rule 13.4 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 (“the Rules”).  Such application must be made on Form COP9 and in accordance with Part 10 Rules.              
    • Unless I've got an incorrect copy of the relevant regulation: The PCN is only deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch "unless the contrary is proved" in which case date of delivery does matter (not just date of posting) and I would like clarification of the required standard of proof. It seems perhaps this hasn't been tested. Since post is now barcoded for the Post Office's own tracking purposes perhaps there is some way I can get that evidence from the Post Office...

    • 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.

I issued a claim through the newer moneyclaims.service.gov.uk and have received a full defence.

I now log in and it states that I can ''request a County Court Judgement as there has been no response by the deadline'' even though I have received an email from them stating the defendant has filed their defence and it is attached to the email, albeit on the last day I believe of the allocated time allowed.

Is this a glitch in the website?

 

Secondly, can someone please help as to the next step as I am not sure if I have to offer anything in response to the defence.

 

I have attached the defence below

- as you can see,

my claim is against someone who hit my car and then denied doing so.

 

I have a witness who saw the individual damage my vehicle and reported it to me.

I went through the process of trying to claim on their insurance, but all liability was denied, as per below also.

 

I am doing this in person, where as they have a solicitor provided for them via the insurance company.

 

My questions are these - please help, I need your help if possible!

 

1 - Do I have to reply to the counter-schedule (or any reply as such) as suggested within 14 days with photos/documents etc, or can I just complete the required n180 by the required date?

 

2 - Is it best to reply to the defence below, and if so, what do I reply with? Does anyone have a sample draft that I could use that would help? Is it best not to reply to it?

 

3 - What is the best course of action from here on?

 

Many thanks in advance.

Sounds like the defence was submitted out of time or right on the borderline.

 

I would suggest giving them a ring and ask what their systems say, as sometimes the website could be buggy and take a while to catch up. Is your witness willing to provide a statement for the court? Why did the insurer not find the other party at fault?

Thanks for replying.

 

Yes my witness is more than happy to provide a statement, and this was sent previously to the insurer of the person who hit me. They dismissed it stating the witness is not independent and they do not recognise him as a credible witness.

 

I spoke to my insurer who stated I should make a claim directly with the person who hit me, as this way, I am not risking losing my no claims by going through my insurer for £140. Their insurer basically denied liability stating I have no argument as they do not recognise my witness as credible.

If your insurer was sure of the claim, they should have instigated it themselves. As the insurers have basically said the other party has no liability it would be difficult for you to win a contested claim as youd have to prove the incident happened.

 

You could click request a judgement and see what happens. Do you have any proof apart from the witness to what happened?

If it is money claim which has informed you that a defence has been filed – then frankly I would simply continue on the basis that the case is being defended. It is clearly some glitch with the system. Even though you apply for adjustment, it is not granted automatically. It is scrutinised at least by a court officer and they will notice that a defence has been filed. Because the prime objective is to do justice, even though the defence may have been filed slightly late, they will still allow it and you will not get your judgement.

 

If you want some help with this then you should post up your claim and also the defence in PDF format.

My insurer asked me to weigh up if it is worth claiming on my own insurance for them to go and then try and get liability admitted from the other insurer, and then claim the amount of repair back from them. They stated that as the amount is only small, there is always a risk if I couldn't prove it, I would then have a claim on my own insurance and therefor the increased premiums as I would lose my no claims.

 

I wasn't with my vehicle at the time, a colleague told me the 3rd party had reversed into my vehicle. Funnily enough, we all work for the same organisation, and it was in the staff car park. She then drove off and I contacted her later that morning to ask about the accident. The only witness to the said accident was my colleague who has said he is more than happy to provide a statement of the incident.

Thanks for your input Bankfodder, I will post both my claim and the defence later this evening. Any help would be gratefully received. I have posted the defence at the top of this thread, but not in PDF... it's a JPG.

Just so the peeps advising are aware this claim is subject to the Test Pilot Scheme of Online Civil Money Claims.

 

https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/practice-direction-51r-online-court-pilot

 

This Practice Note identifies two pilot schemes to test online court environments in County Court money claims: the ‘Online Civil Money Claims Pilot’ (formerly the ‘Online Court Pilot’) to test an online claims process for money claims in the County Court for use by unrepresented parties (‘litigants in person’) (CPR PD 51R) and the ‘County Court Online Pilot’ to test a procedure to enable legal representatives to file and issue County Court money claims online (CPR PD 51S). These pilot schemes commenced on 7 August and 12 September 2017, respectively, and both run until 30 November 2019.

Its one of two new test pilot schemes ..so Im a little surprised you didn't issue using the standard Money Claim On Claim CCBC Northampton.

 

I would assume without knowing all the details of the new system...as per the normal system you have 28 days to proceed otherwise the claim will be stayed.

Hi Andy,

 

thanks for your reply. I did issue through the moneyclaims.service / government gateway site. Unfortunately, I don't think I can go any further on there as it won't let me get past 'issue CCJ as the other party has not responded' even though they have filed their defence as posted above.

 

Can anyone please assist with a defence reply..? I have posted above both my claim and the defence retracted... any help would be most appreciated. I have put a draft defence reply together, I just have no idea if it is correct or not...

 

Thanks.

1 - Do I have to reply to the counter-schedule (or any reply as such) as suggested within 14 days with photos/documents etc, or can I just complete the required n180 by the required date?

 

You do not need to reply to their defence...just submit the N180 by the date stated.

So in their defence when it states in the counter schedule: '''The defendant has not had sight of supporting documentation and the claimant is now required to provide documentation, including photographs of the damage to his vehicle, within 14 days of service of the defence'' - This can safely be ignored??

We are not aware of what a Counter schedule is...and as the court as sent you an N180 Directions Questionnaire..then we can only presume your claim is being dealt with as per the normal MCOL process...and in that process...you submit your N180 for allocation...the claim is allocated and you will recieve a Notice of Allocation with directions...the directions will order you when to submit statements and evidence by date.

I didn't mean anything by that, I was just thinking it over whilst typing.

 

I did do Money Claim Online, but it was with the newer website.

 

Any further advice from anyone is very much gratefully received.

Will do, no problem. I have until the 18th Feb.

 

I did however pull in a favour from a friend today who just happens to know a criminal defence barrister. Although, as she admitted, civil is not her field, she advised what my next steps I should be taking.

 

The counter schedule is similar/same to a counter claim, although on this occasion the other party has nothing to claim (financial wise), for as they are entirely defending a money claim and have incurred no costs as such.

 

They are basically asking for the evidence to be submitted to them pre court/mediation, my adviser saying to look at the evidence to probably decide whether it is worth defending in court, or whether to advise otherwise.

 

This is obviously guess work, but as I have a witness statement from a 3rd party, photos of the damage to my vehicle, emails from the individual who hit my car stating for me to send photos to her of the damage (why would you want to see photos of a car you didn't apparently hit?) - I looks likely it cannot be defended.

 

I was advised by the Court also today after calling them, that at this point, only the N180 is expected at the Court at this point. Any information that is being requested by the Defendant's side is purely at my discretion as to whether I send it over or not.

 

Fingers crossed... I will see how this pans out and keep anyone who is interested updated...

A counter schedule is not similar to counter claim...why would you a claimant want to make a counter claim against your own claim ?

 

A counter schedule of loss is a list of evidence and loss detailed ...but only a court can make that order...not the defendant...which the court will after you have submitted your DQ...this is done by way of the Notice of Allocation N157...which will give directions with dates when both parties exchange evidence and witness statements.

Ok, as you can tell, I am not entirely on board with the correct terminology and procedure... hence me asking for assistance on here. I certainly have my wires crossed...

 

The counter schedule I have posted on here from the defendant, I need to offer the photos and documents as per her request - and that's it? There is nothing more at this point I need to offer?

 

Do I just submit my N180 and ignore the Defendant's counter schedule until I get further direction from the court?
