    • is the side street solely for access to your garages? who owns the land and thus the road? dx  
    • A local business has been parking on an off-street parking space in front of my garages (in a side street).  I wasn't using them for a while so didnt bother to do anything.  But now a second local business is also using the osp - taking it in turns with the 1st biz.  This has started to nark me.    The employees choose to drive to work.  There is no private parking in their business's street.  But there are some underground secure garages in their street - which cost apx £2.4k/y to rent - which works out apx £6.60/d. (I believe one of the biz owners already rent one for storage purposes).  If the employee had to park on a meter it would cost them £6.60/h - £66 for 10h and have to move every 4h.  They just don't want to pay for parking. I haven't confronted either of them.  Instead I just put 2 clear "no parking" signs in front of the garages. And a note on one of the cars specifically saying that as they don't live or rent in the street and it's private land could they stop parking.   They ignored that.  And just put notes on their dash with a # to call if one needs the car moved.  There is a sign and they've been told in writing to stop parking. And they are just ignoring it.    I don't what a confrontation.    I don't want to go to the expense of bollards (other than maybe traffic plastic ones - but they'll probs just move them).  Council won't do zilch cos it's private land. And police won't get involved - unless I clamp/ tow the cars and then they'd be after me, not the drivers!    What's the best thing to do?
    • yes might be the best idea. you'd only at best get 8% flat interest and that unusual on a GOGW if this was what it was. simply contact the FOS and let them know its resolved. dx  
    • If you’ve ever wondered how you might fare in armed combat, the first 20 minutes of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan is likely to make you thank your lucky stars you were born too late to storm the Normandy beaches on June 6 1944. I suspect many of us might be driven to identify with those men who were absolutely turned to stone by fear. And yet these young men, mainly conscripts, screwed their courage to the sticking point and did the job the fate had chosen for them, heroes all.   .. UK PM Sunak perhaps thinks he understands mind numbing fear better than many as he dishonorably fled the beachhead to do nothing more than double down on dishonest spin and lies from the safety of a UK studio .. The Normandy heroes who not only held their positions, but advanced through hell to a victory that changed the entire course of history .. undoubtedly hold a different perspective.     from a perspective in TheConversation     ..

    • Yes, send a message to the purchaser but keep it very friendly and simply that you noticed that the package has now been delivered.  I suggest that you ask them if they want to keep the package still or if they would rather return it and that if they want to keep it then please will they return your payment to you to your PayPal address. Keep it as polite and friendly as possible and then we will decide what to do if he doesn't reply or refuses.  Meanwhile I will have a look at Google earth and see if you are able to spot the gas meter outside the house to get an idea if the delivery is real.

    • 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 am able to collect the documents from a member of the registrar office. They will meet me at reception. The deadline is Thursday.

 

no news on the statements. I will wait or tomorrows post to see if the first aiders statement arrives. If it doesn't I will ask her if I can collect a statement in person. The other statement is from my colleague. I have left a message for her today to call me so I can chase it up. She is young and gets a little intimidated by situations in the workplace.

 

I spoke to a gentleman from registrar on Thursday who assured me I was ok to hand it in by hand. He is a well known person within the company and people will know he has been my contacted.

That's fine, lets wait and see what tomorrow brings. It's only a question of referencing the appendices when we get them.

 

Stay positive,

Just been the doctors and got a copy of the it or work form. should I scan that one too?

 

Will see if anything has come in the post when I get back. I am confident the first aider will have her statement with me shortly. She is very professional.

 

the duty manager is in today. I have let a message for him to call me.

 

The girl doing the statement has still not contacted me. I don't think she wants to get involved now. Do you think the appeal can be edited a bit for that? She was the only one coming forward to say they sent me home.

No problem, we'll see where we are this afternoon, and work with what we've got. Don't worry - we have a good appeal in progress - I don't think they'll be expecting such a detailed response!!

Sorry, yes please do post the doctor's letter on the box.

 

You were awaiting a call from registrar yesterday regarding getting copies of documents for you to collect - did that happen?

I was thinking that when I read it. I think the detail will really surprise them. ;)

 

I havn't been called by registrar yet, but If I get a call from that duty manager the registrar wont be need to call. I am disappointed the havn't called though. They are supposed to represent me in the company.

 

my scanner is at my dads house. his computer is much faster. I will scan any documents this afternoon, about lunch time.

The doctors letter is in the box.

 

I got a call from that duty manager. He is going to get his incident report copied and then he will call me. He was very helpful.

 

I also spoke to a colleague who help with first aid on the day and he is writing a statement which he will have for me in the morning.

Ok, I've seen the medical certificate - did you actually go back to work on the 27th August?

 

I'd be happier if you handed the appeal in tomorrow, rather than at the last minute. You need to photocopy everything we are sending - is there a library near you where you can use a copier (or does your home printer photocopy?).

I can get everything photocopied. close of business is 6pm tomorrow. I will get everything photocopied tonight and get it handed in tomorrow.

 

 

They told me not to come in until the day after instead. something about being overstaffed.

You won't have everything you need tonight will you? you are waiting for the colleague to write a statement and give it to you in the morning.

 

Wait until you have everything together - we still need to edit the appeal document to reference the Appendices (which we don't have all of yet).

 

Let me know as soon as you have the statement and the duty manager's incident report.

I am meeting my colleague David before work starts tomorrow to get his statement and hopefully the statement from that girl now.Apparently she was nervous about writing it out wrong but David is helping her. The duty manager has been unavailable most of the day in meetings (to be fare he genuinely is one of the busiest people in the company) but I should be able to get his in the morning also.

 

Like you said though, we will wait till the morning. I should have it sorted by 10am. (fingers crossed)

I have been following this thread since I first came across it. So, DNA, I would like wish you all the best for tomorrow. Poor ell-enn must never leave her computer with all the help she gives everyone.

DNA, once you have handed in your appeal your employer will write to you informing you of the date your appeal will be heard, who will be hearing your appeal and the place and time.

 

There's not much you can do while you're waiting for a date for the appeal to be heard - other than - stay positive. No appeal is ever a "sure thing" but in my opinion, I think you have a very good case.

 

Should it get to an ET, the tribunal would have to consider, not only if your employer acted reasonably in the circumstances, but also if any reasonable employer would have acted in the same way - and, only in my opinion, your employer did not act reasonably in those circumstances. I know I certainly wouldn't have dismissed someone who had the same absence situation as you!

 

Anyway, lets just get the appeal finalised and handed in, you can relax for a few days then.

djgordyp, there's many more people on this site who work a lot harder and give much more time than I do - that's what makes this site so fantastic.

This thread has a lot of posts as there was a great deal of background info needed to put together a solid appeal, and DNA has put a lot of energy into collating and providing the relevant information. We should congratulate him on his positive attitude and courage in taking this to an appeal.

Indeed we should. Recently I had a grievence meeting with our manager and ended up saying very little of what I had intended to. So I can imangine how daunting an appeal hearing would be.

I have just got back.

 

I only have one statement so far.

 

The duty manager will give his statement provided the head of personal ok's it. That worried me a little. I spoke to the duty manager in person and he says he will call as soon as this happens. I stressed to him I needed to hand in my appeal by 6pm.

 

The girl giving her statement is a definite NO now. She called me this morning to say she was off sick and too ill to sign the statement. I think she got cold feet.

 

When I hand in the appeal do you think I should get written confirmation from the person who takes it as proof I have handed it in?
