    • It's solved Laura.  It's in the paragraph I've highlighted here in the attachment from the IAS. Plus look at page 28 of the PDF of Bank's WS.  There is written - 157 IPS 29/04/2022 12:52 29/04/2022 14:52 YE60PZA 158 IPS 29/04/2022 12:51 29/04/2022 14:51 YE60PZA - there are the two payments. One is for the elderly woman's car. One is for your son's, but with the wrong registration. When I get a second this evening I'll add the exhibits to the WS and it will be finished.

    • Speeding "tickets" are not like parking tickets. They cannot be appealed.  No you won't get one of them cancelled. They were two days apart and so will be treated as separate offences. If your speed was 53mph or below you will be offered a course for one of them (cost of about £100 but no points). For the other you will be offered a fixed penalty (£100 and three points). If you want to decline either of those offers the alternative is prosecution in court, where the financial penalty will be considerably higher. Make sure you respond to the "requests for driver's details" within the 28 days allowed. Failure to do so will see you commit a more serious offence which carries a hefty fine, six points, and an endorsement code which will see your insurance premiums double. Also make sure you submit your driving licence details if you accept a fixed penalty.
    • So if I've understood correctly, you had a meeting with a company who employ PPM to manage their car park, but PPM gave you a ticket and the company refuse to get it cancelled.  Eh???!!! You are being somewhat secretive with the details and it would help us to give correct advice if you would be crystal clear about the story.  Who did you have the meeting with?  What is their address?  Why do you think it was them who called in PPM?  Were you informed about the matter of the permit by this company?  Etc.
    • What a disgraceful shirking of responsibility.  Par for the course though I'm afraid with Iceland. You could get nasty and send them a version of the below (you know the local area so change what needs to be changed). Unfortunately the people who are replying are having to comply with the company policy which is being foisted on them - which is not to cancel tickets. But you might as well send the mail and try.   Dear Cissy, thank you for today's mail. Of course you are "able" to cancel the charge, you simply contact Excel and tell them to cancel the charge. I will wait for exactly 24 hours and then contact the local newspaper XXXXX and the local radio station XXXXX about Iceland's disgraceful disability discrimination.  Nothing much happens in Gravesend so I'm sure both will be happy to do a piece which will generate terrible publicity for your store and drive away customers, which is exactly what you deserve. Yours, XXXXX 
    • You are absolutely right to be cautious. It would be helpful if you will be prepared to send me a private message containing details of the outlet and the address et cetera. It might help me to get things more into perspective. So I understand that you had a business selling your husband's photographs. You were unable to continue your direct involvement and so you made an arrangement with a manager who you trusted to carry on the business for you while you were recovering elsewhere in the country. Is this correct? This manager has possession of all the files of your husband's photographs. Is this correct? Do you have any copies of the files? You made a reference to having a Co-op. Does that mean that you are running a Co-op supermarket or groceries outlet? I don't quite understand here. In terms of the possibility of continuing the arrangement with this manager – my own view is that you need to bring the arrangement to an end and I don't see how you could trust them. As far as I can see you are asking about two issues. Making sure that the files in the manager's position are destroyed so that you regain control of the photographs. Obtaining some damages for the loss of revenue. How many photographs do you believe are in his possession? What you estimate is your loss of revenue so far – probably calculated on your average revenue over, say, the five years before you stopped your involvement in the business? You are talking here not only about a breach of contract. You are talking also about breach of copyright and frankly you're also talking about deliberate copyright infringement – which is a criminal offence. Also fraud. Additionally, if you begin the dispute with this person, I would say that they will probably leave immediately. Have you got somebody else to run the business or would that be the moment that the whole thing collapses? If it is the latter, then this is something else that you need to prepare – somebody to take over as seamlessly as possible   Also, do you know the address of this person – and do they own their own home or any other assets?

    • 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 everyone,

 

I had something quite distressing happen to me Saturday night and Im not sure what to do next so some advice would be quite helpful as I am getting differences of opinion as to what I should do.

 

On Saturday, I went out in Nottingham. I hadnt seen my friend in 6 months and we were celebrating her promotion and the fact Ive just landed my dream job. We went for pizza and then around a few bars, and decided to end the night in a club (which I dont want to mention the name of but I believe it is part of a chain of clubs)

 

My friend had been drinking but I wasnt, I had a few glasses of wine with dinner but felt a bit sick so I drank plain orange juice after that, so I was stone-cold sober by the time we got to the club. We went in, and went downstairs into the disco room, where we found a seat as my feet were hurting. We got up to dance clutching our drinks, not realising that we couldnt take drinks on the dancefloor, and a bouncer came up and tapped our glasses, shaking his head. Ok, fair enough, we said, and sat back again. I took my shoes off and then we got up to dance again, me holding my shoes in my hand, and in hindsight, I realise, yes, I should have put them back on. But that doesnt excuse what happened next.

 

We had gone up onto the dancefloor and all of a sudden my arm was pulled so roughly I was literally physically yanked off the dancefloor. Im a big girl, :D and had I not had weight on my side I would have gone backwards and fallen on the floor. My friend was standing with me and I crashed into her as I was pulled back, and there were several other people standing nearby who saw what happened. it was the same bouncer again, and he snarled 'Shoes' at me. I was so shocked i couldnt manage to get them back on, and my friend helped me sit down and put my shoes on, then we went straight upstairs to find a member of staff. We spoke with a duty manager, a lady, and I explained I had been assaulted. She was absolutely fantastic, I was shaking quite badly and was naturally very shocked, but she looked after me, passing me to the medic who took care of me until the head doorman came to speak to me. He was also absolutely amazing, expressing complete disgust the bouncer had behaved like that, agreeing that there was no need for it, and even removing said bouncer from that room straight away.

 

He said that he would review the CCTV today (Monday) and gave me 2 contact numbers, the club's number and his own personal mobile number. He then said that once he had seen the CCTV he would ensure that bouncer would be sacked immediately and never work there again. But that had totally spoiled my night, we went back downstairs and I just burst out crying, the duty manager, bless her, even helped my friend comfort me and kept apologising, and gave us free drinks...

 

My friend said that I should think about pressing charges, but my partner thinks I should just leave it - he says he knows bouncers at work and once something like that is on their record, its enough to put people off taking them on.

 

My questions are....

1) Are bouncers usually exclusively employed by one place, or do they work several places? So if he were sacked for something like that, would he still be able to go somewhere else and do the same thing again?

 

2) If I were to press charges, would the police take it seriously? I have several witnesses, plus the staff at the club who I spoke to (the duty manager, the medic and the head doorman) who all saw I was sober, and I suppose it would be on CCTV even the drinks I was buying...

 

3) If it were to get as far as court, would I have to pay for a solicitor? Im on a fairly low income.

 

I really dont want to press charges as I have been quite ill thorugh work-related stress in my current job, and I dont want to exacerbate the situation. However, I hate to think that he could go and assault another woman - i wasnt hurt luckily (just very shocked and shaken) but I also feel very strongly that he abused his position and shouldnt be allowed to get away with it.

 

Thanks in advance!

I don't know what the rules are concerning bouncers but I have a feeling that they now have to be licenced. You will have to check this up. Have a serach on the web.

 

In any event, I would suggest that you visit the police immediately. They aren't normally interested in this level of assault but where it concerns an employed bouncer and a club which presumably does have a licence, they are likely to be more interested.

 

If for some reason they try to fob you off - common assault, civil matter etc, you will have to stick to your guns, stay very polite. Insist that this is serious violent treatment of a woman by a large strong professional man. Ask to speak to a superior officer and basically insist and sit it out until they take the crime report and give you a crime reference number.

Make sure that the police take down the contact details of any witnesses.

 

Also write to the club special delivery and give a full account and ask what they intend to do about it. If you have a crime reference number by then, tell them what it is. If not then tell them that you are also reporting the matter to the police.

 

 

If you find that there are rules relating to bouncers then inform whoever is responsible for the rules as well.

In the UK, bouncers (called 'door supervisors') must hold a license from the Security Industry Authority. The training for a door supervisor licence takes 30 hours, and includes issues such as behaviour, conflict management, civil and criminal law, searching and arrest procedures, drug awareness, recording of incidents and crime scene preservation, licensing law, equal opportunities and discrimination, health and safety at work, and emergency procedures.[2] One current provider of training is the British Institute of Innkeeping Awarding Body.

I think you should press charges on him if the club is on your side This should help you out and if you are on a low income you might be able to get legal aid

The cctv footage is normally kept for 30 days Then wiped its your call but I would not let him get away with it

This thread is from last year.

You wouldn't have needed a solicitor,you were the victim.

The CPS would be prosecuting,and you could have got support from Victim Support to attend court etc.
