    • There's no facility for a settlement "out of court" as such. But matters that are started under the "Single Justice" (SJ) Procedure can often be concluded without the defendant appearing. The SJ procedure, as the name suggests, involves a single magistrate, sitting in an office with a legal advisor, dealing with matters "on papers" only. Nobody else can attend. The SJ deals with straightforward guilty pleas. Anything where the SJ believes the defendant should appear, or which should be dealt with by the "ordinary" court are adjourned o a hearing in the normal magistrates'  court .As well as this, all defendants have the right to a hearing in the normal court if they wish. Nobody is forced to have their case heard under he SJP.  In particular, as far as traffic matters go, a SJ will not disqualify a driver and if a ban is to be considered, the case will be passed over to the normal court. Because, following your SD, you will be pleading Not Guilty (and offering the "deal"), your case would usually be heard in the normal court, meaning a personal appearance. To be honest, performing your SD at the court is a more straightforward way of doing things. It avoids any possible hitches involved in serving he SD on the court. But of course, as I said, most courts have backlogs which mean an SD may not be quickly accommodated. If you do end up doing your SD before a solicitor, check with them the protocol for serving it on the court. Do let us know what the solicitor says about Wednesday.

    • Quotes of the day penny mordaunt came out swinging with her broadsword, and promptly decapitated sunak while Nigel Farage, representing Reform UK, made contentious claims about immigration policies, which were swiftly fact-checked during the debate.   Good question though raised at labour about the 2 child benefit cap, which I broadly agree with, but the tory 'trap' assumes tory thinking - rather than child centric thinking. There should be no incentives to have kids as a financial way of life paid for by everyone else ... ... BUT the kids should not be made to suffer for the decisions of their parents Free school meals would feed the kids, improve their ability to learn, and incentivise them to go to school. As an added benefit ... it would invest in our nations future.   How far this should go is a matter for costing, social intent and future path of the nation, but not feeding our nations kids is an abomination. There should be at least one free school meal per day for every child who attends school. Full Stop. Its the cheapest and most effective investment in our future we could make.
    • Hey people, I've been browsing this amazing forum for the past year and recieved a letter today which has made me require some help. Received a claim form from Cabot in the Civil National Business Centre in regards to an Aqua Credit Card taken out in 2018. I failed to make payments due to financial hardship and have not taken out any credit or uses any forms of credit since. Received a lot of letters from Cabot and their solicitors Mortimer Clarke which I've ignored    By an agreement between New Day Ltd RE Aqua& the Defendant on or around 26/03/2018 ('ths Agreement) New Day Ltd RE Aqua agreed to issue Defendant with a credit card. The Defendant failed to make the minimum payments due. The Agreement was terminated following the service of a default notice. The Agreement was assigned to the named Claimant. Cabot Credit Management Group Limited, acting as servicing agent of the named Claimant through its Appointed Representative (Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited), has arranged for these proceedings to be issued in the name of the Claimant. The named Claimant may be entitled to claim interest under the Agreement but does not seek such interest and instead claims interest under Section 69(1) of the County Courts Act 1984 at 8% p.a.from03/03/2023 until date of issue only, or alternatively such interest as the Court thinks fit THE NAMED CLAIMANT THEREFORE CLAIMS 1. 3800.82 2. INTEREST OF 379.84 3. Costs How would I go about this and what could happen? I don't remember much details about the card either.
    • cause like you said in post one, 99% of people think these are FINES (it now reads charge). and wet themselves and cough up. they are not, they are speculative invoices because the driver supposedly broke some imaginary contract by driving onto privately owned land which said owner may or may not have signed some 99% fake contract with a private parking co years ago, thats already expired or has not been renewed or annually paid to employ them dx

    • 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 everyone,

 

Not sure if anyone can help up but need a heads up on something. I received a parking ticket yesterday being parked literally the last car outside of the zone I was apparently parked in (my car wasn't over the line or anything like that either). There are two zones, one controlled to 11pm and the other to 6.30pm. I was in the one controlled to 6.30pm, parking after 6.30pm and receiving a ticket at 7.48pm. I have photographic evidence (not great though as it was dark and on my camera phone) showing this, but I am worried they may still try and charge me. I have drafted and will send an initial friendly letter with a copy of the ticket and the photo I took asking for them to remove the ticket, but do you think I should have some video evidence for them to review that I could take if I went back to the same location later so it was more clear the point I was trying to make? Or is it a case that they can't charge me without conclusive evidence (why I don't really see how they could have).

 

Any thoughts, answers or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Let's have a look at the photos.

Also scan and post both sides of the PCN (wash it of personal data first).

Hi again,

 

Have attached the image. It's a bit dark and you can't make out the registration too well, but it does clearly show me being parked past the sign where the controlled times change. My friend also took a couple of shots with his camera phone which may show the reg in better quality, so I may be able to get them from him. Have also attached a scan of the ticket.

The bay you parked in has a timeplate stating its in operation for permits or pay and display until 11pm I beleive which makes the PCN valid, the CPZ sign is only for bays and SYL that do not say a specific time. The bay you was in got extended last year to create a few more parking places for residents which is why it goes past the CPZ sign. I may be wrong but double check the timeplate in case it does not have a time on it.

What I should have mentioned before is that the reverse of the sign saying 8.30-6.30 in the photo says restrictions up until 11pm. There were timeplates the other side of the sign (i.e. the up to 11pm zone where I wasn't parked) for the bays stating restrictions up until 11pm for the bays, but not for the one space I was parked in. Logically, therefore, the parking bays are controlled up until 11pm in the 11pm zone, and up until 6.30pm in the until 6.30pm zone. There was no signplates for the bay I was in which was in a different CPZ to the bays that did have signplates, therefore I would say there is no specific restrictions on that bay, and therefore the bay carries the same restrictions as the CPZ it is in, i.e. only regulated until 6.30pm.

 

Sorry that sounded awfully defensive!! But that's the jist of the defence I think I am going to have to use if they get arsey about it. What do you think? I would argue that it's very unclear that the end space is meant to be restricted to 11pm, and therefore it is unreasonable to punish me for being in it when I was only trying to park legitimately (which I was!)

 

Any thoughts on that?

 

I appreciate your help in this matter.

Did you actually read my post at all?? :confused:

 

The CPZ signs do not over rule individual timeplates within the zone, DYL for example are 24 hrs, TFL Bus Stops are plated 7am to 7pm or at any time, some yellow lines in CPZs can have times different to the zone.

Hi again,

 

Thanks for looking into that for me. My point was that the timeplates were in the adjacent CPZ to where I was parked and therefore I assumed they weren't referring to where I was parked as I was technically in a different CPZ to the timeplates. Therefore I went on the time stated on the CPZ sign as there wasn't any timeplates telling me anything different for the space I was parked in.

 

Sorry for the confusion.

 

Stephen
