    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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'll double check with them tomorrow, it will of course be my luck that they will have just scrapped through though.

 

I guess the judge either way will consider my application for judgement and will order either way but I'll ask the court staff tomorrow.

 

What you say makes sense though if I think logically, of course I'm not thinking objectively but I'd like to argue they had a clear day as it arrived at 6:55am on the 6th.

 

Their defence has also freaked me out a bit, just their language and it's quite extensive.

Thanks Ford, yes I just need to wait and see now. I may call tomorrow as I'm not sure how long they judge would take to review it.

I guess I'd built myself up but feel deflated now.

even if not dealt with yet, ct should have a record of anything received. so could be worth a call to see if they have received anything, and what they might be doing? chin up.

Cheers.

Have read part 6 of CPR which says deemed day of service was the 6th as the next business day from when I posted it on 3rd, 14 days thereafter takes me to the 20th doesn't it?

 

Yeah I'm basically gonna tie myself up in knots, I will check with the court when they open tomorrow to see what they say their view is.

On reading Part 6 (service of documents) I might be wrong.

 

If it's posted on the Friday the court deem it served on Tuesday. But I have proof it was served on the Monday so I don't know if that matters.

 

Again though, service of their documents on me that were posted yesterday (as dated) aren't served until tomorrow and they have no proof otherwise.....food for thought.

I think that if it's deemed served on Tuesday then it's served on Tuesday whether it is delivered on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (or never) so long as it was sent 1st class or better ...

Ok, so I went into the court today.

They actually received the defence on Monday (in time) by email.

Its deemed served on me today so it was out of time arriving with me.

 

Is that nit picking? As I say the application went in to the judge anyway, but I imagine the fact it was out of time with me won't really matter.

Good evening, she didn't want to say either way to be honest. It's dated 20th so in line with the courts CPR's it was served today which is out of time.

 

It wasn't so much she didn't want to say I asked twice and she said it would seem so and then I asked her again and she hmmm'd and then I went all British and didn't want to ask the 3rd time.

 

I guess I can only wait, the thing is though my application now doesn't have any of these arguments in it. So I don't know if I should put a different one in.

hi

ok, down to the judge then to decide.

you mentioned failure to comply with order in your app'n?, j should then consider whether there was non compliance?

don't know whether is poss to 'add' to it with further info if required, and allowed?

what different application would you do?

Yeah I mentioned non-complaince. I said that it was sent on X date received on X date and non-compliance. What I haven't done is say that the defence was served on me put of time because it was dated 20th and by their method of service it wouldn't have been possible to have complied in time.

hi

if deemed served on 6th as you say #161, i still think time would start the next day from 'service' so would be 21'st inclusive? what was their method of service? (according to the cpr you mention (6.26?), first class post (or other service which provides for delivery on the next business day) is deemed served the second business day after posting. would work both ways? email before 4.30 is the next business day). then there is cpr 3.1 etc re management powers?

anyway, is before the J to decide, and J should be aware of the rules and decide accordingly.

Guest Angel235

The judge will just give an unless order for 7 days anyway and even if it is struck out they will just make an app to reinstate

 

Nit picking over a day or few hours

 

Wasted application but like you said see what judge thinks

 

Just my opinion

Its been a weird week. After making my posts on here I received another letter from SCM saying "We've already served our amended defence on the court and had already sent this to you on 20th" the letter was dated 21st....given they weren't aware I'd been considering a strike out etc I'm not sure why they'd send me a 2nd letter with the defence in it....I wonder if some prying eyes on my thread prompted this.

 

Anyway, despite calling the court to check on a number of occasions and them telling me that no fee was to be paid for a judgement application I've now had a letter from the court telling me they got it wrong and I'd have to pay a fee if I want it to go through.

 

I think Angel you are correct in that I'm sure the judge would simply allow it through anyway.

 

Hearing is on 27 Feb so I'd better get preparing my bundle....what sorts of things should I include?

hi

had thought you did n244 with fee?

as there was no auto strike out an application for strike out and judgment would require a fee? (a request for judgment may require a fee anyway even if re an auto strike?)

maybe prying eyes, its not unknown for loyds etc, or 'ghosts in the machine', to look in/be on cag. but maybe they have just checked with the court?

any case law, legislation, witness statements, further info re claim as mentioned, exhibits, etc. all that you rely on.

Sorry no I didn't do the fee, I put the N244 through the door after hours and called them the next day to pay fee over the phone but was told I didn't need to, the courts letter admits they got it wrong but never mind. I don't believe the judge would have supported me anyway.

 

Ok so I need to find some case law around BCOBs and DPA (incorrect date for default) etc if there are any.

 

They also quote the supreme court case although I haven't mentioned at all the UTCCR issue around fairness but they believe that because of that case despite BCOBs charges cannot be regarded as unfair which I think is interesting.

 

I should probably post up their defence alongside my POC's.

oh ok, so is courts fault. did they say that it wasn't being auto struck? up to you now then whether to now pay the fee so it can be put before the J? if they're not auto striking it, then seems they think at first sight all was compliant. double check though.

re DPA, there is the ICO guidance on defaults. check their site. also the oft.

re bcob, afaik the oft site has a list of cases re unfairness which may be apt.

there is that oft case (i presume) they mention, but there seems to be the issues as to whether that case applies generally to consumers, or just to the oft's remit in challenging? some serious research needed!

Thanks Ford for all of your help.

 

Silly question maybe....in Court bundle would court accept double sided? Before I wind up the printer.

When I spoke to the Court last Monday they told me it would be automatically struck out, they told me that again when I called on Tuesday as well and told me no fee required. TBH I don't think the judge will go for it but I will call them and see what they think though.

 

Will get reading. Anything else you think that would be useful please send it my way.

 

Cheers :-D

Why can't I find these regulations (Consumer Credit (Enforcement, Default and Termination Notices) Regulations 1993) when I look on Legislation website? They're referenced within Woodchester case.

 

Does anyone have any other default removal case law that might be useful? Re inaccuracy of defaults.

 

Cheers
