    • The other cases aren't going to happen before November though, are they? Reporters are saying he can't pardon himself for a state conviction. He would have to lean on the governor of New York state, as I understand it.
    • I am requesting your assistance to how I should go about a serious breach of my privacy that occurred during my stay at one of IHG’s hotel on Ma 2023. Having previously had items taken from my hotel room elsewhere I take the added precaution of using a security camera app on my device whenever I stay in a hotel room. The recordings are date and time stamped and it cannot be adjusted by the end user.   On this particular occasion I discovered evidence from my personal security camera recordings of a spy camera had been placed underneath my door, and can be seen moving along the base of the door for approximately 15 seconds.   The spy camera is in fact marketed as an inspection device of drains primarily but is known to be used in observing spaces difficult to enter. It is a usb endoscopic camera that has a length flexible cable that is semi rigid and can negotiate any obstruction by bending. The operator can be up to 3-4 metres away.   Infuriated as I had previously stayed with them in 2022 for 3 months at £260 per night that they would seek to question my honesty and invade my privacy. I immediately called reception and asked why they would do such a thing and if they had any concerns they were welcome to inspect my room and go through my personal belongings and ask me anything they wanted to. I was sleeping for the best part of my stay and was alone throughout.   I sent the recordings to the receptionist within the hour of finding them and I asked to speak to the manager of the hotel who I was told wasn’t present. I tried to have face to face meetings with him but he instead wrote to me denying the recordings were made at their hotel stating that they didn’t observe anyone in the corridor at the time of the recordings and that they don’t have a metal bar at the interface of the tile and carpet which corresponds to the overlying door. I rejected that statement on the grounds the video doesn’t show a bar but a reflection of light on the tile and you wouldn’t see a person outside my door because the cable is black and runs along the floor. If you don’t look for this you won’t see it. The matter was passed up to the area manager and he also denied the allegation. This is where the matter ends as far as IHG are concerned. Leading a busy work and family life I let the matter go but I found myself back at the same hotel a year later. I booked for  2 nights and was given a room facing the lobby door that led to the lifts. Unfortunately, from the hours of 3am I was woken up by the noise of the door opening and closing but also noticed shadows of a person standing in front of my door. At first I took no notice and put this down to a guest waiting for someone but the person or persons returned several times, standing outside my door for up to several minutes. I called the hotel reception and asked if there was an issue  on my floor and they said they would come up to check. They never said they would check the CCTV and as the incidents continued to happen up to 8am I called them 6 times. Given my past experience I didn’t think they took security as serious a# her establishments and made them observe the Cctv and let me know. The explanation I was given was that they could see residents there but they were heading down to breakfast. The time that I had noticed these feet by door was from 3am and breakfast started at 6.30am. It also didn’t explain why they would stand by my door for anything longer than 10seconds and if they were waiting for someone how likely is it that this scenario is played out 6 times when there was only 12 rooms per floor. Later that morning when I went down for breakfast the manager said he would move me to a room at the end of the corridor and asked me what my plans were for the day, essentially when would I be in the hotel. I stated that for the day I was out. He then said that all his staff were uncomfortable about me being a guest and said that I was not welcome there anymore. I had paid for the two nights but when it came to the end of the day I didn’t feel that I would be able to rest at the hotel given the hostility so I returned the next day to collect my remaining belongings, namely items of clothing, an iPhone charging cable and plug, and toiletries. Checkout was at 2pm and I was at the hotel at 3pm. All my belongings were gone and they couldn’t locate the items.  I plan to report the incident of the spy camera to the police, as well as the theft, and write to the hotel emphasising that this breach of privacy is unacceptable and the hotel's failure to properly investigate and address the issue is deeply concerning. The fact that I requested security checks to ensure my safety in the early hours was reasonable, yet their response to ban from the premises was excessive and even possibly discriminatory as I had revealed to them that I had been a victim of a hate crime given my sexuality. . I am seeking compensation for the infringement of my privacy, the lack of proper investigation, and the being humiliated and made to feel like an undesirable. I will request a full refund of my two-night stay totaling £390. Additionally, I will request compensation for the cost of my previous stay when the infringement occurred, which was £220. I am also considering damages for the infringement of my privacy but at a loss as to what this would equate to. I will close the letter giving them a 14 day timeframe to respond.    Is there anything you feel i need to consider here? Many thanks   
    • oF course, this is all just the start. trump is dragging it out as much as possible hoping to pardon himself, but the barrier the yanks had about admitting that a pres could be such a piece of err work has been broken and there is many more to come. His current criminal charges are extremely unlikely to result in jail time or anything other than fines  - but with some of the other charges - jail is pretty much mandatory - especially for one not only not on a first offense - but with others stacked up

    • 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.

if the assignment was in equity then the claimant should have been joined with the creditor as there is no locus standi without

Hi

 

I have been talking to some lawyers about Notice of assignment and

any right due to assignment and they summarised it to me as follows~:

 

"

In British administrative law, the applicant needs to have a sufficient interest in the matter to which the application relates. This sufficient interest requirement has been construed liberally by the courts. As Lord Diplock put it:

"t would...be a grave lacuna in our system of public law if a pressure group...or even a single public sprited taxpayer, were prevented by outdated technical rules of locus standi from bringing the matter to the attention of the court to vindicate the rule of law and get the unlawful conduct stopped"

 

just thought it may help !!!!

 

Apparently there is a review under way at the moment due to some judgement cases being reviewed by the Ministry of Justice !!!

if it comes through minus the "mumblings" and yet BOTH the defendant and his buddy heard them uttered then i would make a formal complaint as to the fact that the transcript has been altered to delete information which is important to your appeal - namely the judges attitude towards you

 

I believe as an officer of the court the barrister also must allow the defendant to look at his/her notes for the trial, its buried somewhere in the CPR I believe... so even if she didnt put it down in the judgment, you should be able to get it from the other side so to speak.

As I said I was there... humbleman was denied the opportunity to present his case properly.

 

In hindsight, I would have told him not to go into the Witness Box to be cross examined as the Director of Phoenix was not there. On the other hand the cross examination transcript will reveal how the Judge interfered and treated the whole process with contempt.

 

The more I think about it the more I think there has been a miscarriage of justice and that a complaint is deserved.

Nemo iudex in causa sua

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

(Redirected from Nemo judex in sua causa)

Jump to: navigation, search

Nemo iudex in causa sua (or nemo iudex in sua causa) is a Latin phrase that means, literally, no-one should be a judge in their own cause. It is a principle of natural justice that no person can judge a case in which they have an interest. The rule is very strictly applied to any appearance of a possible bias, even if there is actually none: "Justice must not only be done, but must be seen to be done".

May also be called:

  • nemo iudex idoneus in propria causa est
  • nemo iudex in parte sua
  • nemo debet esse iudex in propria causa
  • in propria causa nemo iudex

The other principle of natural justice is "Hear the other party" (Audi alteram partem) otherwise put "Reasonable opportunity must be given to each party, to present his side of the case".

The legal effect of a breach of natural justice is normally to stop the proceedings and render any judgment invalid; it should be quashed or appealed, but may be remitted for a valid re-hearing.

HFC issued the claim and then assigned the debt to PHoenix who were swapped as the claimant.

 

I know full well that the instructions are coming from HFC.

 

In fact at my last cmc I told the Judge that the Director of Phoenix should be called as witness (since he is the one who signed the WS) and his reply was I doubt if it be of any use he since he would not be aware of all the details

 

really! then perhaps the judge (and the MD of pheonix) should have been reminded thus:-

 

"... a person who signs a document, and parts with it so that it may come into other hands, has a responsibility, that of the normal man of prudence, to take care what he signs, which if neglected, prevents him from denying his liability under the document according to its tenor".

[per Lord Wilberforce in*Gallie v Lee*(1971)]

 

'.. a man cannot escape from the consequences, as regards innocent third parties, of signing a document if, being a man of ordinary education and competence, he chooses to sign it without informing himself of its purport and effect..'

[per Scott LJ in*Norwich & Peterborough Building Society v Steed*(1992)]

legal firms in general can act for both parties- as in for instance the sale and purchase of a property- if both parties agree

 

is there some exemption for this happening in the case of assignment of debts?

 

I don't think they can diddy even if different partners deal with it.

I did not think interest could be added for CCA post judgement debts. I could be confused.

can you imagimg how the assignment would have taken place.

 

HFC: Mr Phoenix we are suing someone, because he's not paying us, would you like to pay us some monies and take this on.

 

Phoenix: Sure no problems.

 

sensible answer from Phoenix would be, if you as one of the largest financial institution in the world can't get monies from him how the F... can we

Its not normal and if its compounded interest then as far as I understand it there has to be something in the original terms and conditions... yes those that were never on the application provided!

 

Stat s69 interest. According to County Courts (Interest on Judgment Debts) Order 1991 (No. 1184 (L. 12)) section 2(3):

 

which states:

(3) Interest shall not be payable under this Order where the relevant judgment— (a) is given in proceedings to recover money due under an agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974

Phoenix were allowed interest on the original claim as well from the date they said they made me a part 36 offer. Now if you look at that offer it has come from HFC after Phoenix had been assigned the account.

 

Here is the offer. I did tell the Judge that I had not receive the offer from Claimant.

Agree with you shadow, and because of CC(interest on judgment Debts) Order which states CCA no interest. If the terms of the agreement specifically state that creditor is entitled to post judgment interest, they can only claim it after judgment debt is paid in full and only then after taking you to court if you don't pay it (ie another action against you)

It is OK for same sols to act for both parties if both parties agree. Believe its in their code of conduct somewhere.

Does this mean both parties of the assignment? Surely such an involvement is not beneficial for the alleged debtor, as a solicitor acting for both OC and DCA is not going to admit NOA is incorrect:confused:

You are confusing the actual assignment with the NOA. I don't see how the debtor would be prejudiced if 1 sol acted for assignor and assignee to draft the assignment. Important thing for creditor is proper service of a valid NOA and then the creditor has a right to have sight of the actual assignment (van lynn) to ensure it is lawful.

Can the creditor use this right at any point? If, say, I had an NOA (albeit sent normal post) could I ask to see the actual assignment?

Just reading this

 

"Law of Property Act 1925 (c.20)

 

136. Legal assignments of things in action.

— (1) Any absolute assignment by writing under the hand of the assignor (not purporting to be by way of charge only) of any debt or other legal thing in action, of which express notice in writing has been given to the debtor, trustee or other person from whom the assignor would have been entitled to claim such debt or thing in action, is effectual in law (subject to equities having priority over the right of the assignee) to pass and transfer from the date of such notice—

 

so am I right to say that the creditor and DCA have all the same equities?? that should be stated beforehand in the Deed??

As a matter of securitisation was the transaction done in the UK or overseas i.e in IRELAND pending any vat or stamp duty to be paid. As a matter of fact MBNA was done for that!!!

I am quite sure the VAT or tax office man would love to know of any irregularities!!!!;-)

 

is the pre-scribed format of the Notice of Assignement legal and accurate???

and where in the Law of property is defined the pre-scribed format of the Notice of Assignement??
