    • I googled "prescribed disability" to see where it is defined for the purposes of S.92. I found HMRC's definition, which included deafness. I don't  think anyone is saying deaf people cant drive, though! digging deeper,  Is it that “prescribed disability” (for the purposes of S.88 and S.92) is defined at: The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999 WWW.LEGISLATION.GOV.UK These Regulations consolidate with amendments the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1996...   ….. and sleep apnoea / increased daytime sleepiness is NOT included there directly as a condition but only becomes prescribed under “liability to sudden attacks of disabling giddiness or fainting” (but falling asleep isn't fainting!), so it isn’t defined there as a “prescribed disability”  Yet, under S.92(2)(b) RTA 1988 “ any other disability likely to cause the driving of a vehicle by him in pursuance of a licence to be a source of danger to the public" So (IMHO) sleep apnea / daytime sleepiness MIGHT be a prescribed disability, but only if it causes likelihood of "driving being a source of danger to the public" : which is where meeting / not meeting the medical standard of fitness to drive comes into play?  
    • You can counter a Judges's question on why you didn't respond by pointing out that any company that charges you with stopping at a zebra crossing is likely to be of a criminal mentality and so unlikely to cancel the PCN plus you didn't want to give away any knowledge you had at that time that could allow them to counteract your claim if it went to Court. There are many ways in which you can see off their stupid claim-you will see them in other threads  where our members have been caught by Met at other airports as well as Bristol.  Time and again they take motorists to Court for "NO Stopping" apparently completely forgetting that the have lost doing that because no stopping is prohibitory and cannot form a contract. Yet they keep on issuing PCNs because so many people just pay up . Crazy . You can see what chuckleheads they are when you read their Claim form which is pursuing you as the driver or the keeper. they don't seem to understand that on airport land because of the Bye laws, the keeper is never liable.

    • 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, I had a look about the site, and couldnt see anything about this, so thought id ask here. (Id seen similar threads in similar topics - apologies if im posting in the wrong place !)

 

I visited my local Nat West ATM machine last Friday and withdrew £20. This morning I visited the NatWest site to check my balance, and found this £20 has been recorded as £220.

 

I immediatley rang customer services, who said they couldnt see the withdrawal I was referring too. I asked her to do the math on what had come out of the account since then , as compared to what was there prior to this and explain the difference. Ultimatley she couldnt explain, and said she said she would have to put me thru to another dept.

This dept put me thru to another dept, who also couldnt see the withdrawal I was referring to, but said that I should print out the online statement, and go down to the bank to fill out an 'ATM DISPUTE' form.

 

I went to the bank. Would you believe the woman there said she couldnt see the amount either... So I showed her the printed statment I took with me. Lo and behold she could suddenly see it !!

 

She said that they would have to 'balance the ATM machine' took my telephone number and has said she will ring back tommorow.

 

Now id like to think she is going to ring back, and say 'yes the machine messed up, the money will be back in right away', however, im a bit of a pessemist and expecting instead a call along the lines of 'Weve checked the machine, it all balances theres nothing we can do'.

 

Assuming the latter, where do i stand ? Is there anything I should know before she rings me back or anything ?

 

Any advice appreciated !

 

Thanks.

What I would suggest is not to be a pessimist, but to be an optimist.

You've just as much chance of being wrong but you'll enjoy life more.

Sorry, couldn't resist that.

 

I believe that the accounts in a bank have to balance to the last penny.

The tray will show £200 up if you only had £20 out. I'm sure you'll be OK.

 

Let us know how you get on.

 

Regards, Rooster.

A pessimist looks at half a bottle of whisky and says,"That bottle is half-empty."

An optimist looks at half a bottle of whisky and says,"That bottle is half-full."

They have now rang back and basically said that the machine balanced so basically i have more chance of becoming pope than getting the dosh back.

 

The woman on the phone said something about my partner using the ATM. (Which she did - I was sitting in the car). I didnt actually say 'yes she was' I said I wasnt sure. Anyway to cut a long story short, she basically said that if I HAD divulged my PIN to my partner then it was all my fault anyway and I was definatley backing a loser.

 

So what she effectively did was say 'Never trust your partner, she is lying, and she has stiffed you of £200'.

Of course she didnt actually say it that way, but thats ultimatley what shes saying AFAICS>

It was a NatWest ATM outside my NatWest branch.

 

As for divulging my PIN, yes of course I realise im meant to keep it a secret. But are they not surely saying 'do not trust your spouse'.

 

As it happens I would consider the circumstances warranted divulging my PIN. I was in hospital for around 5 weeks - from christmas until the end of January undergoing major surgery. My partner had more than enough to worry about without having to worry about getting money out of the bank whilst I was stuck in there.

 

I mentioned this on the phone, and was basically given some pish about giving her a letter of authority (or something similar) which she could bring to the bank blah blah. So shes expected to have to fart around getting a letter from me, having to make it to the bank during business hours etc etc - and this is on top of all the other stuff that was going on at that point. I think she had enough to worry about to be honest !

 

Furthermore, I dont really care for what is effectivley an accusation from the bank. Because to me what they are saying is, essentially, 'You gave your partner your pin ? Then she must have stolen the money'.
