    • 4 means that they need to name and then tell the people who will be affected that there has been an application made, what the application relates to (specificially "whether it relates to the exercise of the court’s jurisdiction in relation to P’s property and affairs, or P’s personal welfare, or to both) and what this application contains (i.e what order they want made as a result of it) 5 just means that teh court think it is important that the relevant people are notified 7 means that the court need more information to make the application, hence they have then made the order of paragraph 1 which requires the applicant to do more - this means the court can't make a decision with the current information, and need more, hence paragraph one of the order is for the applicant to do more. paragraph 3 of the order gives you the ability to have it set aside, although if it was made in january you are very late. Were you notiifed of the application or not?    
    • These are the photos of the signs. At the entrance there is a 7h free sign. On some bays there is a permit sign.  Also their official website is misleading as it implies all parking is free.  I can't be certain of the exact parking bay I was in that day, and there was no PCN ticket on my car and no other evidence was provided.  parking sign 2.pdf
    • Hi, In my last post I mentioned I had received an email from SS who were asking me to hand over the keys to my mother’s flat so they could pass them to the Law firm who have been appointed court of protection to access, secure and insure my mother’s property.  Feeling this, all quickly getting out of my hands I emailed ss requesting proof of this. I HAVEN’T HEARD BACK FROM SS.  Yesterday, I received an email (with attached court of protection order) from the Law Firm confirming this was correct (please see below a copy of this).  After reading the court of protection order I do have some concerns about it:   (a)   I only found out yesterday, the Law firm had been appointed by the court back in January.  Up until now, I have not received any notification regarding this.  (b)   Section 2   - States I am estranged from my mother.  This is NOT CORRECT    The only reason I stepped back from my mother was to protect myself from the guy (groomer) who had befriended her & was very aggressive towards me & because of my mother’s dementia she had become aggressive also.  I constantly tried to warned SS about this guy's manipulative behaviour towards my mother and his increasing aggressiveness towards me (as mentioned in previous posts).  Each time I was ignored.  Instead, SS encouraged his involvement with my mother – including him in her care plans and mental health assessments.   I was literally pushed out because I feared him and my mother’s increasing aggression towards me. Up until I stepped back, I had always looked after my mother and since her admission to the care home, I visit regularly.   .(c)    Sections -  4, 5 and 7  I am struggling to understand these as I don’t have a legal background.  I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to explain what they mean.  It’s been a horrendous situation where I had to walk away from my mother at her most vulnerable because of; ss (not helping), scammer and groomer. I have no legal background, nor experience in highly manipulative people or an understanding of how the SS system operates, finding myself isolated, scared and powerless to the point I haven’t collected my personal belongings and items for my mother’s room in the care home.  Sadly, the court has only had heard one version of this story SS’s, and based their decision on that. My mother’s situation and the experience I have gone through could happen to anyone who has a vulnerable parent.    If anyone any thoughts on this much appreciated.  Thank you. ______________________________________________________  (Below is the Court of Protection Order)  COURT OF PROTECTION                                                                                                                                                                                   No xxx  MENTAL CAPACITY ACT 2005 In the matter of Name xxx ORDER Made by  Depty District Judge At xxx Made on xxx Issued on 18 January 2024  WHEREAS  1.     xxx Solicitors, Address xxx  ("Applicant”) has applied for an order under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.  2.     The Court notes (my mother) is said to be estranged from all her three children and only one, (me) has been notified.  3.     (Me) was previously appointed as Atorney for Property and Affairs for (my mother).  The Exhibity NAJ at (date) refers to (me) and all replacement Attorneys are now officially standing down.  4.     Pursuant to Rule 9.10 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 and Practice Direction 9B the Applicant 2must seek to identify at least three persons who are likely to have an interest in being notified that an application has been issues.”  The children of (my mother), and any other appointed attorneys are likely to have an interest in the application, because of the nature of relationship to (my mother).  5.     The Court considers that the notification requirements are an important safeguard for the person in respect of whom an order is sought.  6.     The Court notes that it is said that the local authority no longer has access to (my mother’s) Property.  7.     Further information is required for the Court to determine the application.  IT IS ORDERED THAT  Within 28 days of the issue date this order, the Applicant shall file a form COP24 witness statement confirming that the other children of (my mother) and any replacement attorneys have been notified of the application and shall confirm their name, address, and date upon which those persons were notified.  If the Applicant wishes the Court to dispense with any further notification, they should file a COP9 and COP24 explaining, what steps (if any) have been taken to attempt notification and why notification should be dispensed with.   Pending the determination of the application to appoint a deputy for (my mother), the Applicant is authorised to take such steps as are proportionate and necessary to access, secure and insure the house and property of (my mother).   This order was made without a hearing and without notice.  Any person affected by this order may apply within 21 days of the date on which the order was served to have the order set aside or varied pursuant to Rule 13.4 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 (“the Rules”).  Such application must be made on Form COP9 and in accordance with Part 10 Rules.

    • 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.

Thanks Andy

Citizen - I spoke to the court yesterday and they say they dont send out any confirmation as they received the same letter from the claimant advising of discontinuance so I presume it is just safe to file it away with the rest and thats the end.

 

Now doing wasted costs - does anyone think its worth a punt toask for the PPI back?? amounts to about £1400 - i cant be bothered to do it through the court now Ive got this far to closure with them but just thought it may be worth mentioning it and saying i intend to claim it - what are anyones thoughts??

Andy, is that correct that no confirmation is sent out by the court ?

 

Also, is this just the SJ that has been discontinued ?

 

Perdita, I would as suggested by andy, keep your PPI reclaim separate. Have you already sent in your initial request for refund of mis sold PPI ?

Andy, is that correct that no confirmation is sent out by the court ? Depends which Court which staff what day and mood CB but as long as the Court acknowledge receipt of said discontinuance then Perd will be fine

 

Also, is this just the SJ that has been discontinued ? The whole claim I would envisage you cant discontinue a SJ hearing you vacate it.

Congrats and well done.

 

Get that costs order in and make sure you claim for everything.

 

here's some bedtime reading -

 

WASTED COSTS THREADS

 

Have a look at the pdf's that Surfaceagentx20 has attached at the bottom of the post on a letter for wasted costs -

 

Surfaceagentx20 wasted costs

also

 

Liabilty for Costs CPR 38.6

Sharpman v Nationwide credit card services ***WON WITH WASTED COSTS***

 

Welcome/Cohens - case withdrawn ***WOO-HOO ***

 

have a look at this post by IGNM on costs as well -

Ok I sent the bill of costs and N252 on Thursday by recorded and got a reply by return this morning. I was claiming £562 - this is the reply

 

" We consider the amount to be excessive and disproportionate to the claim. We cannot envisage how you can justify 63 hours of time on this matter. We would also state that had the matter proceeded to a final hearing the matter would have been dealt with by the small claims court where ordinarily only modest costs would be allowed to the successful party.

 

Accordingly to avoid the need for a formal assessment of costs wea re prepared to offer you £200 in full settlement of your costs. This offer will remain open for for 7 days"

 

What are peoples thoughts on this? Disbursements on the claim were £56 the rest being time. Their bill of costs came to nearly £700 being 5 hours at £139 per hour.

 

Thanks

You have three options here :-

 

1/ Accept the offer.

 

2/ Write back declining their offer and propose an offer you are prepared to accept or you will go back to court for a Judge to decide incurring extra costs against them.

 

3/ Write back to the telling them you will go back to court for a Judge to decide and ask for the costs incurred in doing so.

 

IMHO, I would go with number 2 and write back asking for a sum that you are happy with if you do not wish to go back to court.

 

However, if you decide that you wish to ask for full costs then go back to Court not forgetting to add on the extra costs. ;)

 

A quick way to do this if you want to negotiate, is to create an e-mail account just to deal with Restons with hotmail or yahoo.

Send an e-mail to whoever has sent the letter ( e-mail address is normally on their letter).

I've just looked back through the thread and I cannot read anything about the case being allocated to a track.

I know the AQ was an N149 but until the Court receive the return of the AQ's, it is then when a decision on track allocation is made.

 

Restons........well being Restons; have gone down their usual route of applying for Summary Judgment before a track was allocated.

 

So, as the case is trackless, it is deemed to be multi-track which leaves Restons fully exposed to your costs !! ........ and they should know that. ;)

Thanks Supa - I have looked through all the papers and you are correct in as much as the only reference to a small claims is the AQ. I think I will write back pointing all that out and stating a figure I will settle at and see what they come back with. Can they hold me to the 7 days thing? The reason I ask is that i go in hospital for an op on monday so although I will get the letter off tomorrow I wont be able to respond to anything else for a few days at least. Should i put without prejudice on the letter??

If you are going to decline their offer then the 7 days does not come into play.

 

You should head your letter "Without Prejudice" and make sure that you state if your offer is not accepted then you will refer the matter to the Court....and remind them that the claim was not allocated to SCT and they are responsible for all your Wasted Costs.

Hi all - sorry not been on but been inhospital and ordered to take things easy for quite a long time :(

Anyway I got the letter off declining the offer, told them what i would accept and lo and behold a cheque arrived by return !!! :D

 

Jason - Im not the best person to ask on this sort of thing as I have absolutely no idea why they suddenly dropped the case. If you havent done already I would start a thread of your own as this might not get anyones attention on this one as it has been editted as discontinued. If you do that someone will be sure to give some advice :) Good luck with it.
