    • Post Office scandal expert Moorhead predicts solicitor strike-offs Richard Moorhead, professor of law and professional ethics at the University of Exeter and a prolific writer on the Horizon scandal, said it was ‘highly likely’ that people would be removed from the profession. He added that he also expects one or two individuals to face criminal prosecutions. He was ‘cautiously supportive’ of the Solicitors Regulation Authority's position of waiting until the public inquiry has finished before taking any decisions on disciplinary proceedings, saying the regulator has been doing a lot of investigatory work behind the scenes. But Moorhead said the SRA should provide ‘greater clarity and detail’ about what it is doing currently.   Professor Richard Moorhead predicts strike-offs over Post Office Horizon scandal | Law Gazette WWW.LAWGAZETTE.CO.UK Lawyers have been 'everywhere' in the scandal, Professor Richard Moorhead tells legal ethics conference.

    • Hi Dx, HB can you share the link of Tireddodo's case thread , may be i can learn something from there?  
    • As i don't have any mitigating circumstances other than trying to save pennies, will they fine me to the maximum? What is the maximum fine they will impose? I honestly don't know how many times i use it.  I will get a criminal record which means i can't find another job? Will they prosecute my partner?   
    • Yes. They won't inform your employer but you may need to. You need to check what it says iin your employment contract. I don't think it usually causes huge problems for most people. 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.

Ive just completed my MCOL, and paid the £80 fee.

On filling in the online form apart from the above everything seemed simple.

However, it did not ask which court. I assumed this would be done according to my address or the later allocation questionair. After completing I printed the PDF claim form, and in the top right corner it says " In The NORTHAMPTON County Court". OMG! should'nt this be my local court??

 

WHAT DO I DO??

HELP!:(

In your amount claimed you need to add your interest in that amount

ie

Amount Claimed - £1191.87 (original amount plus 8%)

Court Fee - £80.00

Solicitor Costs - £0.00

Total Amount - £1271.87 (amount claimed plus court fee)

 

otherwise they will think you are only claiming the original amount.

I made the same mistake I didn't add my (£900 interest)then had to fill out an n244 form and ammend my N1 form and send it back to the court with a £35 cheque.

 

MCOL form:-

 

Amount Claimed - £900.50

Court Fee - £80.00

Solicitor Costs - £0.00

Total Amount - £980.50

 

Piticulars of claim:-

BLAH BLAH - The claimant claims

I have absolutely no idea, other than looking in Litigation in Progress/Concluded here:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/litigation-section/

 

Elliot was settled months ago out of court. These are new cases that have been transferred to Mercantile here:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/mercantile-court/

 

and other cases are being stayed by local County Courts pending their outcome.

Hi SolidStan,

 

I have been reading your thread and I need a little bit of help. I have just received my statements and added up all the charges, it comes to just over 10K but i'm unsure now how to proceed. I have looked at the speedsheets in the templates library but i'm finding it hard to understand. A few years back I had an 1800 overdraft and now I only have 100. when I send my preliminary approach for repayment do I need to include any interest charges and/or the 8% charge. The leter states 'I calculate that you have taken £XXXXX plus £XXX which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £XXXXX .' but I do not know what figures to include or how to calculate them.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks PURP for your reply, my thread seems to be ignored!

 

I would like to send Bankfodders letter to the court.

BUT, what conserns me is, everybody else is "stayed pending another case".

BUT, I am "stayed pending further order from the court".

 

WILL I BE JUMPING THE GUN SENDING THIS LETTER NOW????

 

Please reply, I badly need help here!

 

 

P.S. TELCLARKE

I too found the intrest part confusing, so did not claim it.(it was'nt much for me anyway)

Just use the spreadsheet to work out the the 8% at the court stages.

note they refer to 2 different intrests(one they have charged you and the other you charge them at a comershal(sp) rate.(8%). HOPE THAT HELPS!
