    • 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.

You've left your name on the letter.

 

I think that when you send the Death Certificate in on Monday you should put a covering letter in that says that you phoned the court and was told to apply to adjourn by letter, which is what you did on (put the date of the first letter)and that you wrote and told Optima - and attach a copy of the letter to Optima

If I've helped feel free to add to my reputation.

This is the copy of the letter i sent to Optima and also copied to MBNA you will note I sent this on the 15th April before my father passed away as I knew that his passing was coming and thought it best to put them both in the picture as soon as possible.

 

As I say this was sent the 15th April as I was hoping to get there agreement before I informed the court this did not work hence why I sent a letter to the court on the 28th April 2009.

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Re: MBNA V MYSELF

 

I write this letter in the hope you will agree to the hearing on the 12th May 2009 being vacated for a period of 2 months for the following reasons.

 

During the present order made by DJ Elizabeth Manuel on the 3rd March 2009 I was admitted to Q.A Hospital via Ambulance because of a heart attack and subsequently I had a stent fitted to an artery in my heart.

 

I am now on a period of rest after this procedure which must be stress and anxiety free.

 

Since being discharged from hospital something more serious has happened which is why I send you this request.

 

My beloved Father has also been admitted to Hospital with liver cancer which has now proceeded to his blood. He has been given a very short time to live because of it being in his blood.

 

As you can imagine this court case has been put on the back burner as I have more important issues to deal with as I’m sure you will agree my families concerns are more important.

 

I trust you will agree to this case being vacated and re-instated for the first hearing after 2 months.

 

As the next hearing is the 12th May 2009 I look for to your reply as soon as possible.

I'm sorry PF, but this isn't something that I'm aware can be done.

 

Don't let things get to you. Can you confirm that you asked for an adjournment? If so I suggest you simply fax or email a copy to Optima for information, and concentrate on your Dad's funeral. Optima will have to wait until you're available to deal with them.;-)

For the urgent attn of: DJ Elizabeth Manuel

Dear Sir/Madam,

Re: MBNA Europe Bank Ltd V

Case No

I write with urgent matters that are out of my control, and being Litigant in person I’m not sure what the protocol would be in this instance so I write in the hope a letter would be sufficient.

As you are aware the next hearing for this case is on the 12th May 2009 at 10:30hrs.

Since your last order of the 3rd march 2009 there have been events in my life that have impacted on this case.

On the 22nd March 2009 I was admitted to hospital due to a heart attack and was discharged on the 26th March 2009 with considerable medication and told to rest, since this happened my father has passed away on the 25th April 2009 due to stomach and liver cancer brought on by stomach ulcers.

My Fathers Funeral is also on the 12th May 2009 at 10:00 hrs it is unfortunate that it is on the same date but I’m sure you will understand that this is out of my control.

I therefore ask the court to vacate the listing to the next available date after the 12th May 2009.

I have written to MBNA Europe Bank Ltd and their Solicitors Optima Legal Services some 2 weeks ago but to date I have not heard from them.

I enclose copies of those letters for your reference I also enclose a copy of my hospital discharge note.

I would also like to ask the court given the circumstances to allow some time for me to grieve for my father as he was a very much loved dad to me and my family.

I am current very confused, stressed and dazed by these recent events and I feel it would be unfair to put me though a court hearing in my current state.

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest opportunity so I can put this case behind me for the time being.

I state the above facts in this letter are true and accurate.

Yours Sincerely

Re: MBNA Europe Bank Ltd V

Case No

 

 

Dear ,

 

I enclose as requested from you, a copy of my late fathers death certificate for the attention of a Judge as I’m seeking to have my trial on the 12th May 2009 adjourned because of my late fathers funeral at Portchester Crematorium on the same date at 10am.

 

I would be grateful if you could had this letter to the Judge with the death certificate because as you can see there are issued that the judge needs to be aware of regarding this request.

 

I also enclose copies of the letters I sent to MBNA and Optima Legal.

 

I have since received on the 9th May 2009 the case summary this I need to bring to the Judges attention as soon as possible as Optima Legal are attempting to twist the adjournment to their advantage which given the circumstances is just not on in fact I will say with truth it made me cry how low can they go?

 

 

  • They apologise for the late case summary this is purely enacted to get the upper hand
  • They are unsure of the present position of the case this is not true as the order from DJ Elizabeth Manuel was issued on the 3rd March and my letter to seek there approval of adjournment for the above reason was sent to them on the 15th April 2009 which they would have received on the 16th April 2009. They also say that they did not hear from me until the 27th April 2009 this is a blatant lie as I sent letter to them on the 15th April 2009.
  • They say that they contacted the court to approve of the adjournment but the court had not heard from me. This is the case as I did not send letter to court until the 28th April 2009 as I was seeking Optima Legal’s approval first and as I had not heard from them regarding my letter sent on the 15th April 2009 I them decided I could not wait for them anymore so I sent letter to court on the 28th April.
  • They say they contacted the court again on the 7th May 2009 to clarify if the trial was going ahead to which they say the court has not received any letter from me again this is a blatant lie as my letter to court was received by you on the 28th April 2009 as I hand delivered it to counter.
  • As to what issues remain im sure the judge would agree I stopped complying with the order dated 3rd march after I submitted my full defence due to the reasons above i.e. my late father was gravely ill at the time with painful cancer and I was practically living at the Q.A Hospital until his death on the 25th April 2009,

 

Given the above you can see what there motive is all I asked for was a legitimate adjournment for very good reasons I knew my late father was dying so I took it upon myself to inform Optima Legal before he passed away some 4 weeks ago to get there mutual agreement before informing the court of this.

 

I choose to do it this way to save costs and the courts time but I heard nothing from them until the 8th May 2009 4 days before my late fathers funeral this I’m sure you can imagine coursed me and my wife untold distress.

 

I hope by sending this letter you will see I took all the steps necessary to get this case adjourned with the least fuss.

 

I do apologise for this late adjournment request but it was out of my control and I am disgusted at the manner that Optima Legal has handled this request.

 

I will of course be making a complaint to the SRA.

Ok, at the risk of getting shot down here, I think it may be a little emotional PF??

 

I completely understand that this is how you are feeling right now, but I think you can still get your point across by being assertive and slightly less emotional??

 

I really hope this doesn't offend you PF as that's honestly the last thing I'd want to do right now :)

I do apologise for this late adjournment request but it was out of my control and I am dismayed by the manner in which Optima Legal has handled my compassionate request.

 

I will of course be making a complaint to the SRA in due course.

 

 

Yours Sincerely

Hi PF

 

Looking at their case summary point 6.1

 

'Whether D accrued the alleged debt".

 

Seems to me, that as they will struggle on a number of serious matters regarding the CCA & DN, they will make a big issue of this in an attempt to sway the judge.

 

'Yes but he's had the money, had a good time spending it, but now is just trying to avoid his responsibilities'.

 

Or words to that effect.

 

You need to be ready for a lot of that, but what else would you expect from MBNA.

 

David

 

PS You have my sympathy for your loss.

yes, but if they try that nonsense

 

Politely draw the courts attention to the judgment of Lord Nicholls of Birkenheads judgment in wilson and first county trust

 

para 46-49 , which confirms that there can be no unjust enrichment where the lender gets the agreement wrong and its rendered unenforceable as a result

PF, do you have recorded delivery slips or proof of posting for the letters to Optima ?. At the very least you can then prove you posted them.:)
