    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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.

got a ticket from westminster today.

Was displaying a valid ticket, together with my disabled badge.

 

the ticket says display on windscreen, but there is no glue at all on it, so is impossible to stick on the windscreen. I mean no glue at all!!

 

so displayed on dashboard, and the old wind thing happened after walking away. result is it was upside down. Attendant came and noted on his machine the ticket was valid when I collared him, after issuing a PCN.

 

Technically it wasn't displayed correctly.But if there was no glue on it (and I'm keeping the ticket as evidence), is it legally valid? Is that a basis for a let-off?

 

has anyone else got off with an upside down ticket (which was nevertheless a valid ticket)?

Have written to them, but no doubt they'll reject.Is it worth going to adjudicator and risking my time and an extra £40?

 

thanks

Neil

I'm trying to work out how to attach a scanned image here.Hope fully, soon you'll be able to see both sides of Westminster's PCN.

i'm still not clear: does it have to have colour and/or date of issue to be valid?

 

To me, it would be strange if Westminster's tickets are invalid.i mean, how little would it cost them to make the wording right, compared to the millions they get in fines?

 

maybe I'm just being naive.

Any help from an expert would be great.

Can't read it entirely - they are very small - , but "Date of notice" is presumably the same as date of issue.

I've just noticed the back of the pcn says "....,payment must be made within 14 days (including the date of issue of this penalty charge notice)..."

 

so it does mention date of issue, but on the back.Does this make it valid, or do those magic words have tobe on the front?

Hi, Mamothd,

 

I believe the relevant case law is

R (on the application of London Borough of Barnet Council) v Parking Adjudicator .

 

The requirements for a valid PCN are set out, in paragraph s36 as such:

 

 

36.

It seems to me that s 66 requires two dates to be stated on a PCN. These are the date of the contravention and the

date of the notice...

 

Note that the date of notice is actually the date when the ticket is issued.

 

Your ticket clearly shows a date of contravention, and just above the parking attendants signature a date of notice (which is identical to the date of contravention).

 

IMHO, it appears that your ticket is valid, BUT I can't read all of the text, and it would be better if you were to post a clearer image.

i will be off site for the next month or so. if you have any problems, feel free to report the post so a moderator can help you.

so it looks like my defence is the fluttering ticket. There was , I repeat, no glue on the ticket, so I had to put it on the dashboard.

But will TPAS say I should have checked it was displaying the right way up before I walked away? If so, is it really worth fighting?

 

What would you do?

As I said, there was no glue on the ticket, which is why I had to put it on the dash.But should I have checked it was the right way up before I walked away?

Is it really worth defending?

Had to display on the dash as there is no glue on the ticket.

It fluttered to wrong way up after I walked away, and when I returned got a ticket from Westminster cos it wasn't displayed properly.

 

My time is expensive, and I want to go all the way, but if I'm going to lose is it worth it?

Does anyone have experience of this defence- they'll say it was my duty to check it was up the right way before I left the car.

tragically, the ticket itself appears to be correct in every way, so a technical defence is pointless.

Firstly, I would take pictures of where you parked, and post them up on the forum (including any road signs in the area you parked, road markings etc). I would also go to the town hall, and find out if there are any RTO's for the area.

 

can you also post up a copy of the ticket? front and back

 

(You might find it easier to use photoshack.com than the attachement feature).

 

It's not my area (I'm just learning the ropes) but if you have a valid ticket AND you say you displayed it correctly AND it was of insubstantial enough material so it might have "fluttered" away, then I believe it is quite likely that an appeal would succeed.

i will be off site for the next month or so. if you have any problems, feel free to report the post so a moderator can help you.

Take a look at these:

http://www.parking-appeals.gov.uk/about/cases/MC00227Hepworth.doc

http://www.parkingandtrafficappeals.gov.uk/user_documents/BAK673.pdf

Bear in mind that the adjudicators consider the same law.

If it was me, I would find something else to appeal on as well.

I would make a FOI request for a copt of the TRO - I have done that recently in Westminster (for parking in a residents' bay on Sunday) and the docs received clearly show the restrictions Monday to Saturday only!

Thanks a lot for your help.The ticket was upside down, so you couldn't read the front of it

 

From reading the LB Wandsworth case I'm 99% sure I have no chance. That chap did what was asked. ie. stuck it in the windsceen first, and still got refused the appeal.

 

I didn't actually do what was asked. I put it on the dashboard because there was no glue on it.

I daresay an adjudicator would say I should carry sellotape with me!

 

Interestingly, I NEVER put a ticket on the windscreen.I always display it on the dashboard. So strictly speaking I could always be done for not displaying in the proscribed manner.But I never have been before (of course, in those cases the ticket was at least perfectly readable by a warden).

 

 

My best defence is the ticket has no glue on it at all, so is a defective instrument. But maybe a hostile adjudicator would suggest I'd rubbed off all traces of glue after the event to make my case look better (I haven't done this,of course).

 

What do you think of that defence?

I think this is important because there must be hundreds of cases like m ine every year.

the wording of the ticket can be a good arguement if it mis represent the legal position,

 

ie if the ticket says YOU ARE THEREFORE REQUIRED TO PAY A PENALTY it is incorrect, as YOU may or may not be the owner or RK and it is clear under the RTA that liability falls squarely on the owner for a PCN.

Just thought of something which,in fact, harms my case.

The ticket says "display in windsreen".

 

It doesn't say "ON" windsreen.

Therefore they'll argue it deliberately doesn't have glue on it because it's only supposed to be displayed in a way that the warden can read it through the windscreen. This would clearly include the dashboard.

 

From this the adjudicator would argue it wasn't defective as an instrument, and it was my responsibility to ensure it was displaying correctly.

I would question how you are supposed to display any such ticket to a vehicle without a windscreen...

to avoid any confusion,

 

my last comment was aimed at the PCN its self not the piece you place in the windscreen

Or you could argue:

 

The windscreen is a piece of glass, how are you supposed to get the ticket in it?

 

Back to reality, on the glue issue, are you saying that the ticket was defective in manufacture or design?

I'm saying it was defective if the instructions had been to afix "on " the screen.

 

Obviously "in " the windscreen would be taken to mean it's dsiplayed so someone outside the car can read rthe ticket through the windscreen.

 

I bought a parking ticket today,BTW, and it had no glue on it.Clearly, these tickets are not designed to be stuck on to glass.They are,presumable,meant to be put on to a dashboard. Although I did so, it was just my bad luck it turned over after I walked away, and I'm resolved I'll have to pay it.
