    • I would have thought so but I'm no lawyer. What did the one that you spoke to say? You could also google about how/when a will trust is set up to get more of an idea before you speak to the original lawyer. HB
    • While I am waiting for the original solicitor to ring back about the will can I ask. After my dad passed they were informed about this an released a copy of the will to me and my brother, should they have set the trust up then as they were informed of his passing?   Thanks again

    • Another one. Apparently this has been hushed up for about three months. They're working through their majority quite fast with all the sackings. Not that they've done anything about Menzies yet but he sounds like a blackmail risk. Here's the original article.   Revealed: Tory MP allegedly demanded campaign cash to pay ‘bad people’ ARCHIVE.PH archived 18 Apr 2024 07:32:33 UTC  
    • and another one   MP Mark Menzies loses Tory whip as party investigates claims he misused funds "According to a source close to Mr Menzies, the MP had met a man on an online dating website and gone to the man’s flat, before subsequently going with another man to a second address where he continued drinking. He was sick at one point and several people at the address demanded £5,000, claiming it was for cleaning up and other expenses." The sum, which rose to £6,500, was eventually paid by his office manager from her personal bank account and subsequently reimbursed from funds raised from donors   Never mind losing whip - how about criminal charges   MP Mark Menzies loses Tory whip as party investigates claims he misused funds WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK The Fylde MP is alleged to have used campaign funds to pay off ‘bad people’ and cover medical expenses   ALSO According to the The Times, £14,000 given by donors for use on Tory campaign activities was transferred to Mr Menzies’ personal bank accounts and used for private medical expenses. The MP, who is one of Rishi Sunak’s trade envoys, is also said to have called his 78-year-old former campaign manager at 3.15am one day in December, claiming he was locked in a flat and needed £5,000 as a matter of “life and death”.   Hes supposed to use funding from Taxpayers and doners for a life of service, not funding a life of drink and debauchery Hope his parliamentary expenses are also investigated.   In fact, perhaps Mr Bates next role in life should be as an independent investigator of Parliamentary expenses?

    • 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.

My initial thoughts are to reject this, since I have pleaded unauthorised, authorised and statutory in the alternative. I therefore believe that the worse I would get in court would be the same as this offer.

 

As I do not believe the bank will allow this to get to court as the legality of the bank charges will have to be argued before the interest I believe this is a safe strategy.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on this or done something similar?

 

Thanks

Monty

Hi Monty - General advice seems to be that if you get an offer of all the charges + interest paid on them + 8% int that you should accept the offer.

Yes agreed.

There have been both wins and losses on this one,with some Judges saying that the higher rate could be classed as punitive within itself towards the defendants.

Its up to you to decide.Info on this is available on many threads across the site.We do suggest that if you are offered the full settlement with 8% and it has not gone to hearing,to accept.

Have you actually filed an N1 yet ?

Thanks Martin and Chez for the advice.

 

I've submitted N1 and AQ but have not been asked for court bundle yet. With what happened to Kev yesterday it's sent the jitters in me a bit, so I am tempted to take this and am also worried about how a judge would view a refusal of this offer. As I have reached AQ stage, can I write back and also claim the AQ fee? I am out of pocket for the court fee and Aq fee, and the cheque is made out to me but stating I have to pay it into the RBS account - it's frozen and part of a DMP. Also, the numeric and word amounts do not match - not sure if this is deliberate or a istake (probably the latter). Can they force me into paying the money into a specific account, or am I within my rights to tell them to give it to me unconditionally?

 

Thanks guys.

Did you settle at 8%? I have just received a copy of their defence from Cobbets Solicitors, I believe I should receive same from the court is that correct? Is it a difficult document to complete? At what point did they make you the offer?

Hi Winifa

 

I haven't yet, but probably will. The cheque is made out wrongly anyway as the written and numeric amounts don't match, so I don't think I can pay it in like that. Additionally, they have written on the pay line the account number to pay it into, but I do not believe they can dictate what I do with it - I owe RBS more than they are paying me, but don't use the account any more. Otherwise I guess they could just pay it in, although I guess I would have to agree to that as a full and final settlement, which I probably wouldn't.

 

You should get a copy of the defence from the court also when you get the AQ. It's easy to fill out - just make sure you follow the guidance in the library for completing it, and include the draft order for disclosure (the updated one - the link should be in the library).

 

Cheers

Monty
