      HMRC seek repayment after Fast Tax Rebates Ltd take most of rebate

      By Schipoo · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have an update on my case that I’d like to share with you all.  so after submitting 371 pages in my bundle, a witness statement and skeleton argument for my court case due to take place in Manchester on June 21st I got an email from my litigator stating that hmrc have pulled out and the case is now closed!    this is the body of the letter….. This letter, which is copied to the Appellant, pursuant to Rule 17 of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Tax Chamber) Rules 2009, the Respondents gives notice to the Tribunal of their intention to not defend the above appeal.   The Respondents respectfully invite the Tribunal to allow the appeal and close its file. In lieu of the above the Respondents would respectfully ask the Tribunal to vacate the hearing scheduled for Friday 21 June 2024. We would accordingly invite the Tribunal to close its file. Obviously this is extremely good news which hasn’t sunk in that after 3 years of fighting it is over.    I do have a further fight on my hands in that the Group Action I had joined with Independent Tax that had been disbanded in November last year and I chose not to continue with them. They are trying to bill me over 5k for the work they did under that Group Action which is ludicrous bearing in mind the whole point in joining was that it would keep the cost to a minimum as it would be shared between us all. They had asked if I wanted to continue to have them represent me on an individual level which I declined, if I hadn’t, goodness knows what they would have been trying to charge me now.

      Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)

      By stu007 · Posted

      As PM Sunak really showed his true colours at the D Day Commemorations by doing what? Oh I am the British PM lets just leave early I have better things to do and as he is called out on disrespecting all those veterans that served our country for the freedoms we have today he gives a groveling apology to little to late. He knew about this event for a long time and also knew that this is probably the last D Day Commemoration due to the age of those Veterans who gave so much for there countries freedom. Even on the day of the D Day Commemoration he still could have changed his plans As PM and stayed but choose not to showing such DISRESPECT to those Veterans, those that lost there lives and Families for the Freedoms we have today Being a Veteran myself I have never known a PM to show such disrespect what the hell was he thinking SHAME ON YOU PM SUNAK

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

and of course you need the full contents of what is indexed, not as they say "this is an index" and not showing you what it actually is contained within etc

 

therefore asking for more than their "INDEX" as their submission

 

that will shut the door they are trying to leave open

 

and a complaint to the Court etc is important that it be on record of what you "consider yet another abuse of process"

Thanks Kiptower good point, I've reinforced that point now.;)

Hi everyone I'll give you the info on the latest Application as ap, but first I have an urgent question please.

A letter has arrived today from Lyons Davidson saying the following......

 

Please find enclosed draft bundle index. Please confirm that this is agreed and we will proceed to file our bundle of papers with the court.

Please send confirmation to .........(EMAIL ADDRESS GIVEN) by 2pm Monday 2nd November to allow the court sufficient time for receipt.

If we do not receive confirmation we will assume this agreed and we will proceed to file bundle.

 

We are confused by what it's asking us to agree to. The previous 2 bundles have not come with any such letter and given LDS track record we don't trust them. This is the first time they've asked us to email them too and I can't believe that assuming agreement if no response is given by 2pm today, when the letter has only arrived today can be right.

HELP PLEASE!:confused:

 

Just as well that you get your mail in the mornings--ours arrives around 3.30pm!

You have probably replied to them by now, but I would have changed just one thing.

 

Furthermore I have drawn the attention of the court to your conduct.

My mail comes around then too. Hey you don't live in the same sleepy village as me do you?:)

Fred is a townie luckily for him so gets his post about 10 oclock. I bet they were hoping he would be out when it came, miss the deadline and do nothing about it.:rolleyes:

Yep they got their reply before 2pm, but to be honest they probably read it first on the thread because there were plenty of guests looking in I noticed.;)

Fred has just rung me to say that Lyons Davidson's bundle has just arrived and he's quite pleased with it although he's not saying why. He says I'll have to wait till I get over there to see it.;)

 

He did tell me though that Lyons Davidson have applied for a stay in the proceedings to delay the hearing of 17th November on the grounds that Mr Dexter (Director of Finance Plymouth College of Art) cannot attend then.

We're a bit puzzled whether that means he is coming as a witness, because we've written to Lyons Davidson twice to ask them if they intend to call witnesses to please inform us as to who they are, but they have completely ignored the request.

It will be interesting to see what the court's response is.

If they are claiming he's a witness & not the claimant remember there is no property in a witness & if they have identified him as one then you are also permitted to interview him & obtain a statement of the 'facts'. He will almost certainly refuse but you can then bring this to the attention of the court that the witness refused to cooperate thereby tainting his 'evidence'

Hey wow, thanks for that JonCris.

We need to find out then whether he is actually attending as a witness and if so we'll go for it. Presumably we would also be allowed to question him if he does give evidence on the day?

He has already made witness statements about which we've complained to the court as they contain false statements made with statements of truth.

Of course your allowed to cross examine but remember its an art. Don't steam in. Having read the evidence & any statements made by him & where there are discrepancies get him to confirm one version before confronting him with the other.

When the latest order came from the court, yet again keeping the defence and counterclaim in limbo Fred objected to the order and wrote complaining to the court, to which he received a reply saying that in view of his comments the matter would be dealt with by a different Judge.;)

On the face of it this might be very very good news. Please tell me that "the matter" is the whole matter (in the sense that courts/judges/legal people generally refer to the case/claim etc as "the matter") rather than Fred's objection to the order...

That's a good question, Bedlington, but we don't know the answer .

We're certainly hoping it means the whole matter. The court staff have all got PHDs in speaking ambiguously:confused:

I'm not entirely clear still whether Dexter is a witness or not. On the application for a stay, it refers to him as the representative of the College, but he has however produced a number of witness statements.

The gentleman at Lyons Davidson who sent the letter giving Fred less than 4 hours to agree the contents of their court bundle index has sent a rather tetchy email today in response to Fred's.

Here it is.......

 

Mr Fred,

I note your actions

 

The purpose of my sending you what I stressed at the time and now again was the draft index was for parties to agree the content of the same before we put it to the Court to assist its understanding of the claim and to allow it to pass judgment

 

Had you asked for any additional documents we had omitted we would have considered the same before filing a single, agreed bundle. You have unilaterally taken a step that will cause confusion at Court, delay and further expense to all parties

 

The Overriding Objective is on co-operation between parties on such matters

 

I am now obliged to file my own bundle which means the Court will have to duplicate its reading

 

Your step, without consultation, was not well-judged

 

I reserve the right to bring this and my previous correspondence to the Court's attention on costs

 

Yours sincerely,

......................

Oh dear, somebody's not happy tut tut. Now if this was a legitimate worry about costs, why didn't they suggest this with their previous two bundles and why leave it till the very last minute when Fred's bundle was already prepared to suggest we share one.

It couldn't have anything to do with a sneaky false statement hidden in their bundle could it? One which alleges falsely that Fred has admitted to causing criminal damage.

Oh dear this poor Lyons Davidson man must be so stressed he's forgotten that their court bundle was already filed with the court on Monday and Fred received it today before our tetchy friend had even written his email.:p

Hi Patma,

I see from an earlier post they admitted that the barrier was faulty,did they elaborate on the fault?.The normal thing to do when a barrier is faulty is afix a notice to that effect or remove the arm.i realise time is getting short but as they have now admitted which type of barrier it was it could be an idea to check with the makers what effect it would have on the barrier if it was manually raised if you havnt already.I have repaired numerous barriers and manually raising them has never caused damage to any I have come accross.any news from TLD?.
