A person is also guilty of permitting a vehicle to be used without insurance. A person who uses, or allows a vehicle to be used without insurance, does not have to know that the vehicle is uninsured or intend to drive without insurance.

Just read the whole thread, hope you take B&Q to task after your case. Have you got a barrister yet? Most importantly GOOD LUCK

Justice should be served, who payed for the car he wrote off? Has his mate been cautioned?

First question- Motorbike or bike?

This is a joke. The whole idea of a train ticket is to prove you have paid for the crap service the train company provides and not obtained a service by deception (repealed by the Fraud Act). The train company is quite clearly trying to make money out of you and being completly unreasonable. Going to court is a gamble, your fine would most likely be reduced but that all depends on the jp's sitting.

I believe they have to prove you had the intention of avoiding payment. Which you clearly didnt. Which byelaw are you being summonsed under? I would strongly advise you to send a letter via recorded delivery, stating you forgot your pass. You did not try to avoid the fare As requested you sent your valid pass to the relevant people You did not recieve the last letter from them. The inspector did not accurately write the statement, correct it. Offer to pay the £20 penalty fair. Why did you sign something you didnt read??

It appears this has already been done, suggested earlier.

IF car craft deny there being any faults, it is up to them to prove the car is of satisfactory quality and was not inherently faulty. (applies for the first 6 months only)

Appeal Court Case law (Bernstein v/s Palmerston Motors 1987) has held that the supplier must be given three chances to rectify the fault for which the goods are rejected and must have failed to do so. And the supplier (in the case of a car the dealer principal of the dealership) must be sent a letter by recorded delivery detailing why the car has been rejected as not "of satisfactory quality". Case law (Rogers v/s Parrish 1987) has put a limit of 6 months on the time you can successfully reject a car and obtain a full refund, though lesser refunds, taking account of mileage covered, may be obtained outside that period. 1) Send a letter by recorded delivery to both car craft and the finance company detailing why the car has been rejected ie the faults . Try not to quote too much law.

Could you contact his manager? Can you scan the letters you have sent and recieved?

After reading this im not surprised the jp threw the case out. It was totally unreasonable to request £5000 from the baliff company. I also agree that tom tubbys advice was very good.

should this be in a different section?

http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/rail/legislation/regs/railwaysbyelaws.pdf Read section 17 and see swt havent bad a **** up. Write a letter with mitigating factors to swt and offer to pay a penalty + all costs involved in dealing with this matter. If this then goes to court the judge will see you have tried to be reasonable and hopefully will think swt are wasting the courts time.

Has anyone used/had problems with (car warranty) Thanks in advance
