If the OP wants to waste their money on a hopless case and the OP is prepared to accept your advice then that is a matter for the OP.

 

I suggest they post back to tell us the outcome of this court claim in due course.

Can somebody post me the case law? I will push this matter further. RM just asked me for the allocation questionnaire (which I don't have anymore as I send this to the court back). I will let you know about the outcome.

What case law?

 

There is none for suing RM for losing your Recorded Delivery item, no court in the land has the jurisdiction to hear it other than to strike it out.

 

You have been given their defence which quotes The Postal Services Act 2000.

Have you read it? How do you intend to mitigate this legislation for your succesful claim? How do you think a county court will be able to overturn this legislation?

 

What professional advice did you receive where you were informed your chances of success are 51% or greater?

 

Think about suing them instead.

Can you confirm whether it was recorded or special delivery agathachristie?

I've given up on asking that question....

Agatha has already disclosed this in her first post. 'Signed for' is Recorded Delivery, or better still, 'Recorded Signed For.'

[tiglet]

Some people might use signed for for either, Al, which was why Mr Shed and I have been asking for clarification as I agree with you if it's recorded but not if it's special.

 

Just wanted to make sure the OP is absolutely specific in what they are talking about.

I accept that in Royal Mail parlance, signed for means recorded delivery.

 

However, for a layperson without an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Royal Mail, signed for probably means that the postie has knocked at the door and requested a signature for a letter/package.

And she has received a book of stamps as compensation already...standard compensation for Recorded Signed For.

 

And she has issued a claim for £36...the maximum compensation for Recorded Signed For.

 

And RM's defence indicates immunity from a universal postal service...which is what Recorded Signed For is.

 

However, let's wait for Agatha to confirm this.

Take a look at s5 s5.1 & 5.2

 

There are two types of Special Delivery from RM and both are deemed as part of the universal service. I know that Postcomm wanted this changed, as it is more akin to a courier service, but it appears to still be the case for which RM can even claim immunity for this too.

 

However, I didn't wish to go into this as I suspect it will not be relevant to Agatha in any case and the thread would go all over the place.
