    • Thank you again. I'm hoping it will come out in the wash and will endeavour to check my online account. I'm a bit unsettled by not hearing from Booking.com but the host is sounding helpful at the moment. HB
    • I've just remembered that a friend of mine had bookings cancelled on Booking.com about a month ago - and the good news is that all worked out in the wash. I'm at work now but will scribble properly in a couple of hours with the full tale.
    • Thank you Dave. I've had nothing from Booking.com, just a message via the site from the host. I know I need to check my bank account, just trying to resolve some technical issues. HB

    • 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 have been off work since the 12th March firstly with flu, swollen glands etc and terrible headaches (apparently caused by a cyst which is going to be removed next month) Spoke to my manager at work (work in a call centre, so they are not happy about my absense) and advised her that my Dr had signed me off until Tuesday 25th, so would be back that day. Just checked my certificate and ive been signed off until the 27th. Admittedly I should have checked sooner, but he asked when I was due back to work after the holiday weekend so told him Tuesday. Now, I feel fine now, but is it ok to go back to work before it expires?? This may sound like a stupid question, but in all honesty I hate my job and would welcome an extra couple of days off lol, who wouldnt?

Hi Clare

 

I am not an expert in this and my reply is based on being a manager and employee.

 

You should phone into work and explain the exact dates the doctor has signed you off and apologise to your employer for getting the date wrong. Say that the doctor wants to make sure you are fit to return.

 

From an employers persective, you can't go back to work as the doc as signed you off as unfit. There are Health and Safety, welfare and national insurance considerations, duty of care, etc. If something happened to you whilst you were at work, whilst "signed off", the employer would be responsible. As an employer, I would not dare take the risk.

 

Hope this helps and that someone confirms the exact position.

 

Best wishes for a speedy and FULL recovery

regards, Kenny:)

Hi Kenny

 

Many thanks for your prompt reply, very much appreciated. Will call my manager first thing in the morning. Cant say im looking forward to it as they will not be happy, but its not like i take a lot of time off normally. I just hate the way employers make you feel guilty for being unwell.

 

Cheers

Clare

Kenny is absolutely right - you cannot go back to work while you are still deemed unfit by your doctor. Whether or not your employer is happy is their problem, not yours, and they cannot penalise you in any way for being off sick. If it is an inconvenience to them, then they have to deal with it and make arrangements for cover.

 

I hope you feel better soon:)

 

Kind Regards

you will also need to make an appointment with your dr to be cleared fit to work. Just so your empolyer nows you are fit for work.

 

My mum had to have this appointment b4 she went back to work as her empolyer would not allow it if not. She works for a big company tho.

I believe that once your certificate expires, you are deemed by default to be 'fit to return to work'. Although following a long illness you may be referred to Occupational Health, so that a suitable return to work plan can be implemented, that will support any lingering effects that you may have.

Consumer Health Forums - where you can discuss any health or relationship matters.

mum had the same symptoms as Clare and savers, her employer, said she had to get clearance from her Dr before she came back to work.

 

She was cleared and went back.

 

It may depend on the company tho.

Hi, I think you only have to get the doctor to sign you fit for work if you're returning before your sick note runs out.

 

I returned to work last year when I still had a week left on my sick note (I felt much better and was sick of daytime TV!) - and like others was immediately sent home as the insurance didn't cover me to be in the building whilst I was signed off!

They said I could either return when my sick note had expired, or earlier if I got my doctor to sign me fit for work.

 

I had to put up with another 2 days of Dale Winton before I could get a doctor's appointment! :mad:
