    • If that was the reason then that is good news. The whole reason that being able to charge £100 for breaching private car park rules is because the law Lords decided in a celebrated case that the rogues had a legitimate interest in keeping their car park spaces available for all motorists . {parking Eye v Beavis]. However when the business is closed then there is no legitimate interest in keeping spaces free so to charge £100 is a penalty. As such any Court would automatically throw out the case when the penalty charge is accepted.

    • 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,

 

Does anyone know if I can look for work while off work for stress?

 

I can't stay in my current job, the atmosphere is too hostile and it's making me poorly.

 

I've signed onto some employment sites but one has called me and wants to see me outside of my normal work hours (not sure if that makes a difference).

 

This is my first week off sick and my doctors say that I can't get a doctors note before first signing myself off so I'll be sending in my form today and will probably hand in my notice on Monday with immediate effect and will get temp work but I'd like to kow there's something in the pipeline before handing in my notice.

 

Any advice would be grately welcomed :o)

Thank you for responding, I'm seeing the agent tonight so I'm pleased someone responded so quickly and sorry about the weird face, typed a smiley but it went wrong.

 

Hey, does anybody else find it hard keeping 100% professional in the office?

 

Unlike a lot of people I find it hard being a different person at work than I am at home. I'm just me and now and then it gets me into trouble.

 

My best friend, who I worked with a few years ago, is a completely different person at work, all out for herself and I honestly didn't like her at work but she's the best friend anyone could ask for outside of work. Me, I'm just myself and if someone is rude to me I'll be civil but not kind or polite and I'm quite outspoken and seem confidant too and i've been told that intimidates people but I don't know how to change myself to always watch my back and keep my distance from colleagues and just go to work, keep my mouth shut and my head down i'm so damned opinionated!!

 

Does anyone else have this problem or does anyone have any advice as to how I can change?

I know what you mean (hence me standing up fro myself against a bully). I'm trying to think before I speak these days but it's hard! I know what you mean about appearing confident - I come across as really confidant but it's just a front (although the more I act confident the more I feel it if you know what I mean). I'm rubbish at confronting folk though and am working on this, making a conscious effort to address things as they arise in an assertive non agressive way, hopefully it'll get easier as time goes by...

Just adding my post to support you, I do know exactly how you feel, I have just this past week returned to work after being signed off for a month with work related stress, I have decided to leave as soon as I find a new job and I'm not really too concerned what that is as long as it gets me away from where I am now.

 

I have found that just making my decision to leave has calmed me down considerably in that I'm now thinking 'Oh get on with it, you won't be in a position to do anything to me for much longer' rather than seeing the misery streatching out ahead.

 

Oddly the new calmer me seems to be stressing out my line manager which is quite interesting to observe. Yesterday she barked at me 'why are you looking at me like that!!!' when I wasn't actually looking at her at all just sitting with an impassive expression on my face looking in an entirely different direction...

If you are genuinely off work for stress, and the doctor has signed you off, then I don't see that your employer can complain. The problem would be if they could argue that being able to go to an interview meant that you were actually well enough to work - and I don't think that follows at all.

 

If you are thinking about leaving your work because the conditions are unbearable then consider taking some legal advice first, certainly before handing in your notice

You are entitled to seek new employment at anytime and your current employer can not penalise you for doing so.

Good luck
