    • I googled "prescribed disability" to see where it is defined for the purposes of S.92. I found HMRC's definition, which included deafness. I don't  think anyone is saying deaf people cant drive, though! digging deeper,  Is it that “prescribed disability” (for the purposes of S.88 and S.92) is defined at: The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999 WWW.LEGISLATION.GOV.UK These Regulations consolidate with amendments the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1996...   ….. and sleep apnoea / increased daytime sleepiness is NOT included there directly as a condition but only becomes prescribed under “liability to sudden attacks of disabling giddiness or fainting” (but falling asleep isn't fainting!), so it isn’t defined there as a “prescribed disability”  Yet, under S.92(2)(b) RTA 1988 “ any other disability likely to cause the driving of a vehicle by him in pursuance of a licence to be a source of danger to the public" So (IMHO) sleep apnea / daytime sleepiness MIGHT be a prescribed disability, but only if it causes likelihood of "driving being a source of danger to the public" : which is where meeting / not meeting the medical standard of fitness to drive comes into play?  
    • You can counter a Judges's question on why you didn't respond by pointing out that any company that charges you with stopping at a zebra crossing is likely to be of a criminal mentality and so unlikely to cancel the PCN plus you didn't want to give away any knowledge you had at that time that could allow them to counteract your claim if it went to Court. There are many ways in which you can see off their stupid claim-you will see them in other threads  where our members have been caught by Met at other airports as well as Bristol.  Time and again they take motorists to Court for "NO Stopping" apparently completely forgetting that the have lost doing that because no stopping is prohibitory and cannot form a contract. Yet they keep on issuing PCNs because so many people just pay up . Crazy . You can see what chuckleheads they are when you read their Claim form which is pursuing you as the driver or the keeper. they don't seem to understand that on airport land because of the Bye laws, the keeper is never liable.

    • 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.

Hi, I've posted on the Lloyds TSB thread but haven't had a reply yet so thought it might be more relevant to people here.

 

Last Tuesday I received notice that I have to go to a hearing in Truro (not my local court) to apply to have the stay lifted.

 

There were no directions and I had in effect 7 days notice so I haven't sent any bundle. However I am gathering one together... I'm getting a bit panicky now....after all this time and work and research I feel like I'm not ready at all!!!!! I've forgotten everything my head is spinning.

 

Any advice? I'm going to be applying on the grounds of hardship but I am not clear at all how to present my case.

 

These are the facts:

  • I am on a low income (only just started self-employed work after 3 months of being unemployed) - income is sporadic and I have been loaned money by family members to see me through a couple of really hard patches.
  • This month's rent is £20 short (and it will cost me that to get to Truro).
  • I have a huge overdraft (just over £2000) with Lloyds - just under the amount I am claiming (including interest though).
  • I have an arrangement to pay it back at £10 /month but the arrangement runs out on the 10th October when they plan to lower my limit by £600.
  • I have debts amounting to approx. £10,000 including outstanding Council tax of £120 which should have been paid last week

Am I asking for the stay to be lifted so that I have the opportunity to:

  • claim back the money they owe me more quickly
  • stop them charging me more
  • ? something else

Sorry to be so confused - please post someone!:)

 

Oh and if anyone else is going to Truro on Tuesday - please get in touch!

Hiya crystal first take deep breaths :) there is nothing to worry about, I think because you have so little time you should concentrate on a skeleton argument rather than a full bundle, you wont have enough time to complete it and the Judge wont have enough time to read it.

 

Have a look at the top of this forum you will see a skeleton argument thread posted by Zoot, download this and complete it for your case. Make 3 copies get one to court marked for the urgent attention of your judge as soon as you can and take the original and 2 copies for the judge in case he hasn't seen it and Lloyd's with you to court on Tuesday, this will form the basis of your appeal.

 

If your case runs to form when you get to court you will have the Lloyd's representative taking you to one side before you go in and telling you all sorts of garbage about how the stay is the best thing for you, just nod and say OK .

 

If your judge hasn't already made up his/her mind when you get into court you should be the first to put your case for lifting the stay, use your skeleton argument as a script and follow through all of the points you have made answering any questions the Judge has. This will be followed by the Lloyd's rep, don't be frightened to ask Lloyd's questions or say you don't think something he/she says is right but don't be rude.

 

and best of luck

 

pete

Thanks Pete and Hedgey. You've really helped me feel much more relaxed about things :). Phew. I think the skeleton argument is a good place to start - it lays everything out so clearly... helps my brain cool down. Thanks for the link Guidance on Applying for Removal of a Stay on the Grounds of Hardship too. I think I'll just have to go through the points and make sure I really understand what I'm talking about. I might be abe to get some sleep now THANK YOU!!!!

Hi everyone,

 

I think it had all been decided before we all got there. :( There were six cases and none were successful. The whole thing took 2 1/2 hours!

 

The Judge referred to the recent cases of Haines v HSBC and Haines v Alliance & Leicester at Winchester CC, (7qT04849 and 7QT04856).

 

I'm in a bit of shock caused by sleep deprivation I'm afraid but will try to write more later.

 

Just because my stay wasn't lifted doesn't mean other people will have the same luck - keep going everyone!

 

Oh well. At least we tried. It was an experience anyway.

I attended court today for a hearing that had been set aside from July. Citis' representative from a local firm of solicitors turned up late and was only given the court bundle citi was to rely on, as I was, this morning, one hour before the case was due.

 

The court bundle was prepared by Eversheds LLP, 1 Callaghan Square, Cardiff a firm of solicitors, head office London.

 

Having only had a few minutes to look through the bundle I recognise several pages that appear to have been used by Citi's internal solicitors and as such contained several inaccuracies. Are they employing different tactics? The bundle contains a skeleton argument of 14 pages, witness statement from John Allan Jones, oft report, case law Phillips v attorney general of Hong Kong, Potter v Citi, Dunlop v Newgarage

 

Pre the hearing I talked to the solicitor who told me he had not received my court bundle as apparently Citi hadn't received it. I produced a Royal Mail tracking receipt to show him that my bundle had been received and signed for at the Salford office. To cut down on paperwork for my bundle I submitted case laws, Government early day motion, oft full report, Dunlop v Newgarage, Murray v Leisureplay, UTCCR 1999, UCTA 1977, SOGA 1982, and Matnamara statement on cd with relevant passages in my evidence relating to the disc for the full reports. I did this as both times I have been to court the judges have had laptops. This obviosly would be up to the judge to accept but it does save enormous amounts of printing.

 

Immediately we saw the Judge, a deputy district judge, she informed us that she was under the impression that all such cases, regardless of them being for credit card claims, were to be stayed, but she wanted to confirm this from the district judge. She ajourned for 20 minuits to confirm. Meanwhile Citis' solicitor contacted Eversheds to confirm whether they wished to proceed today, as I had stated that I wished to proceed, they also said they wanted to procced today.

 

On returning to the judge she told us that although both parties wished to proceed she was staying the case. She quoted an order from Civil Judge Hume QC case 7QT4849 at Winchester c/c who gave his reason as to avoid large cost orders against the claimants if they lost. This wouldn't happen in this case as it was through small claims track. All the cases within the Carlisle district are all being stayed.

 

I hope this information will be helpful to other claimants.
