    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement. The Client shall have exclusive rights for resale of Goods at ###########, and also with permission, as a retailer of the Goods elsewhere, provided that there is no conflict of interest between the Supplier and the Client. The Client is free to decide their own retail prices, for the Goods. The Supplier shall use #####  to provide the printed Goods on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper, with Lustre finish, and will not use any other Printer unless #### cease to trade, without prior approval from the Client. The Supplier shall not impose restrictions on size or frequency of orders made by the Client. The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect.

The Client shall be provided with order tracking, and should any problems arise with the ordering system or the couriers (Royal Mail, DPD), the Client shall be informed without delay of any such issues.

Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Wholesale Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.   Signed by us both electronically.   I haven't broached any of this yet, and I am looking for some advice about what action to take.  The main issue I've got is that he has still go those images.  If I terminate the contract, I will need to know that he no longer has those images and I can't think of a bulletproof way to do this. I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please help.
    • I cannot locate anything in my paper work that states 2 payments were made? Perhaps you could point this out? In reply from IAS it states "The ticketing data has been attached" nothing was sent to me. I made a response to the IAS all this was done online
    • Thanks again for your responses. The concern I have here, is that freeholder of the land (a company, who presumably would have been the ones to have initially instructed PPM to manage the parking here), will have proof of exactly how long the vehicle was on site for, as the driver was meeting operatives from that company on a separate matter. On this basis, if the matter was to get to court, I feel all the other technicalities about signage, size of signage/font, lack of start/finish times, will not be enough to have any case dropped? This PCN was brought up to the freeholder but they have advised that PPM will not waive this charge.

    • 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.

Ello,

 

On 16/7/08 i recieved this whilst visiting the hospital for a routine maternity scan. I was parked on double yellow lines, but ensured I was not blocking any patheways, entrances, exits, other cars etc...

 

The reason for parking on double yellow lines was because the car parks ( 2 out of 3 of them ) were full. The third, and also the largest, was out of use due to a broken barrier. Noted because of the traffic cones, tape and other regalia on the entrance to the car park. The other 2 car parks were not letting any more cars pull in, as they had red lights to indicate that they were full.

 

I did arrive to my appointment with 15mins to allow for parking and walking to the clinic, so its not like i was in a rush, you will note that the ticket was issued at 10.55am, my appointment was 10.50 and i arrived back to my car at 11.15.

 

I have already written to the appeals board once to state the reasons that I was parked on double yellows, stating the above facts, and they are now sending solicitors letters demanding payments. I have been away on holiday and returned to find this in the pile of letters.

 

I originally sent my appeal on the 21.07.08 and also gave them 14 days in which to reply otherwise I would consider the PCN withdrawn.

 

You will also note that the original PCN was issued under section 5. Vehicle parked in a space designated for registered disabled "blue badge" holders but a valid blue badge was not displayed. However, the appeal decline states that they are charging me on the basis i was parked on double yellows.

 

Thier response doesnt state a particular reason why my appeal was unsuccessful, it just states that I was on double yellows... so i feel that I shouldnt have to pay at all considering they dont even know what they are charging me for. I do have a valid point about the car park being unoperational on the day tho. Also they reduced the time to pay from 14 days to 7 days on the appeal reply...

 

What should i do now? wait for it to go to court? or reply to this letter to the solicitors?

You have already written to them too much. Ignore everything from them from now on. They allege a breach of contract. Do you remember signing a contract? Do you remember verbally agreeing to a contract or even realise that a contract was being proposed? Even if you did breach a contract, the trust would only be able to claim damages, based on loss. In this case it would be difficult to see that any loss has actually been incurred. The truth is that, away from actual roads, double yellow lines mean diddly squat. They are just paint - no legal significance. An NHS trust has no legal authority to fine you, they are assuming powers they simply don't have. You may get further letters but they will just contain empty threats, nothing will come of it.

 

Some background reading - in this case the NHS trust is acting as a private parking company.

Remedy for breach of contract is a repayment of losses incurred.

 

You do not owe them £50 - you owe them £0.

 

This is just a private company who have used the NHS Brand Guidelines to creat an invoice which looks 'official' in a ruse to make you pay up.

 

Trethowans are well known here. Just ignore them and any further paperwork. It's a [problem].

 

The appeals procedure is also fake - no private company will turn down money.

Am I missing something obvious, but isnt parking on double yellow lines an offence dealt with by the relevant authorities, NOT a PPC?

I believe skyelet is referring to double yellow lines painted within the confines of the hospital grounds and therefore only there as part of the PPC enforcement of the car park regs. As the DY is not therefore covered by the council it carries the same legal weight as the normal white bay markings or the yellow disabled bays painted within the private car park. i.e. None.

I get it - in that case it is even less enforceable than other PPC tickets I would imagine, as I'll bet their "Terms" dont say you cannot park on double yellows...?

Privity of contract comes into this. How do the hospital know that the "I" who parked the car is the same as the "I" who gets the bill through the post. The PPCs assume that the driver is always the same as the registered keeper. This is not always the case, it is not even mostly the case.

 

The wording of the signage and the visibility is also very important. Most wording is rubbish and simply does not establish a contract. In answer to your specific question, if I got an unsolicited invoice from one of these cowboys through the post, I'd ignore it completely.

okay im just gonna ignore it.... does this also mean that in the future i can park on douible yellows and ignore any tickets i get within the hospital grounds.... i mean for arguments sake... not that im gonna make a habit of it lol. prefer the actual carpark which is closet to the antenatal clinic itself

Regarding contracts and loss etc.

 

If I visit the hospital and it says £5 per hour to park in advance or flat charge of £80 per 24hrs if I have not prebooked .

I turn up and park my car for 1hr (unbooked).

 

If I then get a bill through the post for £80, do I have to pay it ?

 

I would say it depends on the intention of the parties. Is the person parking making an informed choice to pay £80, or is the intention to catch them out? There are also the issues of consideration, privity, and that the NHS is required to be free at the point of use.

Post by me are intended as a discussion of the issues involved, as these are of general interest to me and others on the forum. Although it is hoped such discussion will be of use to readers, before exposing yourself to risk of loss you should not rely on any principles discussed without confirming the situation with a qualified person.

It does seem to me that this is alot of hastle over the original amount of £25.00 - Have you got nothing better to do that goto court and spend all the time/hastle over such a small amount ??

 

You know that you shouldnt have parked there - This is not that you were caught out by some hidden signage at midnight ... They put double yellow lines (I know they are worthless from a legal point, but to most people they mean no parking) for reasons such as traffic management and sometimes to ensure ambulances and other emergency vehicles can pass and not for someone who couldnt be bothered to drive around a little more to find a space.

seriously read my OP before you start calling me lazy. and yes, £25 is alot to me considering im living on a minus after incomings/outgoings at the moment due to pregnancy related illness and extended maternity leave...

With respect I did read you post ... you were going to a clinic got onsite to park and no spaces so instead of waiting for someone to go, or drive around a little more or park off site and walk you decided to park on the double yellow lines.

 

You were having a 'routine scan' - you're pregnant not disabled .. If you were a few mins late for your scan they would still have accomodated you (as I presume other patients would have the same trouble).

 

I do not wish to get into a slanging match, I was just pointing out that the chances are when this goes to a hearing you will probarly have just given birth and have all the hastle/time this WILL take, with a new born and all the stresses that brings .. over £25

 

I know you didnt ask for it to goto court, but if you didnt pay then they would take it to court ... its obvious - where else are they going to take it to recover the charge they beleive is due.

 

You may win / You may lose - No one on here can give you that guarentee.

 

If you win then you pay them nothing, as you will be on maternity leave so you will only be able to claim your travel to court and nothing for the time/effort you put into sending docs off / doing research (as small claims are limited to loss of earnings ONLY).

 

If you lose, it would have cost you lots more money .. the CCJ will be on you for 6yrs (as I doubt you will be able to pay the amount within 28-days for it to be removed).

 

All for £25.00 which you could have paid in instalments to them - a lot less hastle than the position you find yourself in now !
