    • I have received an email in the last 10 minutes 4) The Claimant's witness is currently out of the office on annual leave and this was not relayed to DWF Law until after the event which has caused a further unfortunate delay. 5) The Court has directed parties to file and serve any evidence upon which they intend to rely not later than 14- days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 6 June 2024. Regrettably, the Claimant will have insufficient time to finalise their witness evidence and supporting exhibits as directed. We therefore respectfully apply to extend the time for filing/serving evidence so that the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely by filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 13 June 2024  It also includes a "Notice of Hearing" stating that the application hearing will take place on 13th June at 10.00am.  Confused as to whether I need to attend this ?
    • I've received this notice to keeper. I work for the NHS and was delayed due to patient care. I park here regular and and have never had any issues. I've looked at the evidence on the portal and other than showing that i entered at 12.59.33 and departed at 17:14:14 it doesn't state how long i overstayed for. I paid for 4 hours parking over the phone which i wont have done till i got parked but as its over the phone i have no receipt or record but it is not possible for me to have been in excess of 15mins from the photos alone but I'm unsure having read other threads whether grace periods are 10 or 15 minutes. I havent appealed yet but and was about to but in appealing i'm showing i'm the driver which i gather is something you state we must never do. I don't like confrontation but £60 seems extortionate. Hope you can help. 🤞 1 Date of the infringement 30th May 2024 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 30th May 2024 [scan up BOTH SIDES as ONE PDF- follow the upload guide] please LEAVE IN LOCATION AND ALL DATES/TIMES/£'s 3 Date received 5th June 2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] No reference to schedule 4 just says"...we the creditor reserve the right to recover unpaid parking charges from the registered keeper in accordance with POFA 2012." 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up NA 7 Who is the parking company? Carpark securities 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Northgate, Halifax Former Dews Car Park HX1 1XJ For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under.

    • It never seems to amaze me how the chuckleheads think that No Stopping can ever offer a contract when it is prohibitory. In any case you did not accept the contract by entering the land, you entered the land to get to the airport for goodness sake. In most car parks there is a Consideration period that allows motorists to decide whether they want to stay in the car park . Here on a road, there is no consideration period and whether the motorist finds the terms agreeable or not even assuming that they are able to understand that they are being hoodwinked into believing they are being offered a  contract they cannot turn back. They have a plane to catch and even if they did turn back because they didn't accept the  No Stopping term of   the so called contract they would still have had to stop to turn around. Plus there is a question of Frustration of Contract. You had to stop at a pedestrian crossing .    
    • Just a couple paragraphs their WS that it might be useful to refer to specifically in the OP's WS... Para 6 A contract was formed with "the driver" of the vehicle. Para 8 "The driver" accepted the contract. (The "driver" is not named, or identified anywhere in the WS). Para 7 WHY would there ever be a "no stopping" restriction in a car park? (In Para 10, they specify that it is a "car park"). Para 11 "The Defendant" became liable." Again, they have not shown that the Defendant was "the driver", simply the keeper. Para 20 "It is a matter of agreement"? Not really sure what they're trying to say here...
    • Thank you for relying so quickly! That is what I had concluded was the reality of the situation.. I'm still waiting for the call within my time slot.. I will try to fill this thread with more info, find original letters and show the docs of the pack I was sent, a pack with no real covering letter to show what it was in response to or from whom..

    • 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 All,

Some councils have a licensing policy which has to be complied with for electrical work in buildings etc that the public has access,no doubt the council chap enlightened you about this,and as I said previously some insurance companies insist on contractors who belong to outfits like ECA.Do you know who their insurers are Patma.

Had a good chat (off the record) with a gentleman at the Council who is in a position to know. Sorry I can't tell you much but there was some not inconsiderable element of surprise expressed that PCAD had invited US(UK)ltd to 'repair' or replace the barrier since US(UK) ltd were not and never have been listed as a company that Plymouth City Council or any related department would ever use for barrier repair or replacement work. They were not authorised by the Council for this type of work and had no registered expertise in this field. The Council do obviously have contractors they use specifically for barrier repair work and replacement but we can state categorically that US (UK) were not and never were prior to their untimely demise a contractor that Plymouth City Council deemed qualified to attempt barrier repairs or replacement.

 

This probably goes some way towards explaining why they were unable to flick a reset switch on the logic board, misdiagnosed not once but twice, found impossible faults and then opted for the idiotproof repair:- Total replacement. These barriers are simply secured by four bolts and plugged in, the sort of job that an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of spanners could achieve in just a couple of hours........ Certainly much easier than having to understand how one works.

 

Other matters were discussed but out of respect to the gentleman I cannot divulge them here.

 

Hopefully he wont mind me telling you that he believes the entire case to be a crock peppered with anomalies and is shocked that PCAD have done this to Fred.

 

I'd just like to say what a positive step I believe this chat with the council gentleman was.

I think TLD deserves loads of credit for doing this and so does the unamed council gentleman, who I send my grateful thanks to.:)

To be honest after experiencing so much that's less than upfront and honest from the claimants in this case, it's very encouraging to find that someone in the council has taken the time to show an interest in what Fred has been suffering for 3 and a half years now.

It still baffles me how anyone, could think they could get away with such blatant fraud and it makes me wonder if there have been any other victims out there.

I know Fred would be more than happy to present his evidence to anyone at the council who would like to see it.

I can also add that the police have been very helpful today too, and will be in touch again early next week.

A very welcome letter was received by Fred yesterday,from a high ranking member of the Police legal services department.

He writes to confirm the gist of a telephone message and just to give a taste of the contents I will quote a little.

 

"I write further to the telephone message I left for you recently. I rang as I promised I would. This letter it to confirm not only that, but also the fact that I am now putting your case to the top of my priorities."

 

He explains that certain information is coming in which should help him to make progress and he goes on to say that he is re-doubling his efforts to locate the original footage shown to the police and other items."

 

I already happen to know, having spoken to him since he wrote the letter that the search has proved successful. We should know a lot more early in the coming week.:D

But make sure Fred remembers to duck at the finishing line, just in case the Judge has re-loaded the Starting Pistol with real bullets instead of blanks! :eek:

 

Provided Fred and Team are always ready for any and all unexpected dirty moves, he'll win this race.

 

Cheers,

Hopefully the same doctrine was applied at Plymouth County Court on Friday afternoon too, and it's not like that Judge was er... particularly short of facts to do the speaking either.;)

The latest applications we'd made to court and the complaint letters about the claimant's conduct sent to the court manager were in front of the judge. We're waiting for the results of that now.:)

A quick snippet of news is that LD have made an offer to settle.

No chance of course, but interesting they should bother.

As if, indeed. And good on Fred for not giving any quarter.

More info to follow.
Waiting with baited breath, as always.

 

Let's see what further holes they can dig.

Ha ha

 

 

Me thinks that LD appreciate that they are now in the smelly stuff!

 

LD are acting for the Claimants and they want to settle, I bet they do!

 

Bit of a shame for LD and PCAD that time travel was never perfected! :D
