    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

Ha! These judges are a law unto themselves. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

 

I've had a bit of a re-think on this one. My bundle is, if you'll pardon the expression, pretty much together. I'm going to try to meet the Wednesday deadline. It might 'wrongfoot' the opposition.

 

More questions though:

 

The Directions say witness evidence must be exchanged by 23rd May. Now, I assume that means my witness statement (please confirm that I'm right on that one) so that means my witness statement doesn't accompany my court bundle?????

 

With reference to my claim for interest in restitution, I was going to add details of 'Sempra' to the bundle. Should I send the whole thing (which ammounts to about 95 pages)?? You know what they say - if you can't convince 'em, confuse 'em.:lol::lol:

 

Apart from that and the things listed in the template, is there anything else I need to include?

 

Cheers, T. :cool:

Hi Skinty,

 

Can you post here the other relevant Directions made by the court apart from points 2 and 4 which you posted above.

 

I think I'll ask Steven4064 to comment about the Sempra evidence.

We could do with some help from you

You could put the whole Sempra judgement in but I found a good summary on the web somewhere - I'll see if I can find it. You sgould certainly put in some of the main points though - I think there is a good summary of some of the main arguments a couple of pages from the end - I think this is it Sempra Metals Limited (formerly Metallgesellschaft Limited) (Respondents) v. Her Majesty's Commissioners of Inland Revenue and another (Appellants), House of Lords [2007] UKHL 34 (paras 112-113). Lord Nichols of Birkenhead in said

 

“If the House takes this opportunity I venture to repeat there can only be one answer on this important question of law. Nobody has suggested a good reason why, in a case like the present, an award of compound interest should be denied to a claimant. An award of compound interest is necessary to achieve full restitution and, hence, a just result. I would hold that, in the exercise of its common law restitutionary jurisdiction, the court has power to make such an award. I agree with the thrust of Mummery LJ's observations on this point in NEC Semi-Conductors Ltd v Inland Revenue Commissioners [2006] STC 606, 642-643, paras 172-175. To that extent I would depart from the decision on the Westdeutsche appeal.

 

“If this approach is adopted the unfortunate decision in the London, Chatham and Dover Railway case will be effectually buried in relation to the payment of interest for non-payment of a debt and in relation to the payment of interest for having the use of money in personal restitution cases. The law will achieve a principled measure of consistency between contractual obligations and restitutionary obligations. The common law in Australia has developed in this way. The common law in England should do likewise.”

OK Slick. Here we go:

 

1) This claim is allocated to the Small Claims Track and parties are refered to Part 27 of the Civil Procedures Rules and the Practice Direction of that Part for guidence on how the hearing of the claim will be conducted.

 

3) The original documents must be brought to the hearing.

 

5) The judge may refuse to consider a document or take it into account if a copy of it has not been sent to all parties as required by this Order.

 

6) The parties shall exchange witness evidence including their own evidence by 4.00 pm on Wednesday 27th May 2009.

 

7) List for a preliminary hearing before DJ ***** on the first available date after 5th June with an estimated length of hearing of 30 minutes.

 

8. Because this Order has been made by the court without considering representations fro the parties, the parties have the right to apply to have the order set aside, varied or stayed. A party wishing to make an application must send or deliver the application to the court (together with any appropriate fee) to arrive within 7 days of service of this order.

 

That's the lot. The order was made 8th April and posted out 6th May.

 

 

Cheers, T.

Thanks for that Steven. I think I'll hedge my bets on this. I'll send the full judgement but attach your summary as a quick reference point.

 

I really appreciate the rapid response.

Use a number followed by a stop to avoid the problem. If you use the bracket after an 8, it shows as 8) !!

 

My take re the Directions is you have to File and Serve your court bundles by 13th May and F & S your Witness Statement by 27th May.

Hi Slick.

 

Yes, that was my opinion too. If the big printer in work doesn't run out of ink I should be able to get the bundles in the post on Tuesday.

 

I'll send them RMSD so they will definitely be delivered (and signed for) on Wednesday. I wonder if BC will do as well??

 

Thanks again Slick, and you too Steven. I wouldn't get through this stuff without your help.

 

Cheers, T.

Hi Shadow. This is a bit convoluted, but I can't do links.

 

If you go to post 67 on this thread and click on either of Slick's links, it will take you to the template library. The court bundle is there as a zip file.

 

Best of luck.

 

T. :cool:

 

Cheers... prob a daft question but difference between basic and advanced? I think I used basic in my HSBC current account case.

Hi Shadow. If you open them and see what's involved it's fairly obvious.

 

I think (but I don't know :confused:) that the advanced bundle is more suited to bank account claims rather than credit card. I looked into the advanced one and was glad to get out alive :).

 

I'm using the basic bundle for my efforts against B.C. so watch this space.

 

Cheers, T. 8)

I could do with a quick answer on this one.

 

The bundles are pretty well finished. I really just have to number the pages and stick them in files......BUT......in the correspondence section, should I also include copies of the various court papers and BC's defence?? Both the court and BC already have them.

 

Cheers, T.

No, you don't need to include items which the court and bank should have already.

Here's one last 'brain dead' question.

 

I suppose I send BC's copy to:

 

Barclays Legal & Compliance

Grcb Legal-Litigation

Level 29

One Churchill Place

London

E14 5HP

 

Can anyone confirm??

 

Cheers, T.

Yep,

 

Address the bundle to them as above, but you can take it to your local branch for onward transmission if you want to save on postage.

 

Take them a letter to sign as a receipt for the package though.

 

If you want to do it properly, send the bundle to Churchill Place by RM Spcl Del'y.

I'd suggest you do NOTHING, for now.

 

Bear in mind that BC tend to act at, or even past, deadlines. But wait and see what happens just now.

I received a letter from BC yesterday, delivered by RMSD.

 

To cut a long story short, it was an offer to settle. The amount was nowhere near my claim and, as usual, said they did not accept my (our) interpretation of the law and were offering a gesture of goodwill to save both parties additional expense.

 

They offer interest at 8% apr and say I have no chance of CCI as the principal has already been 'discussed by the courts'.

 

They cite the case of Halliday v HBoS (2007) in which the court rejected the claim at 28.8%. However, this was a Bank Charge case and had nothing to do with credit cards where the case is completely different.

 

It was interesting to note that the letter was marked 'Without Prejudice' but also says that if I reject the offer they will disclose it in court on the subject of costs.

 

I do hope that isn't a threat.

 

I will consider my position for a couple of days ;) and then send my considered response.

 

Keep the faith.

Hi Skint,

 

I'd suggest you reject their offer outright, saying the case they refer to has no relevance to your own claim. Tell them, in the circumstances you are happy for the matter to be resolved by the court in due course.

 

You should be aware that if, for any reason, the court disagrees with your claim and feels BC's offer IS fair, you could end up saddled with BC's costs.

Hi Slick.

 

In the words of the song, 'whatever happens is whatever happens'.

 

I'm not sure how that works though. I have always thought that costs aren't recoverable in small claims.

 

I believe that I can only recover court fees - not costs. Surely the same would apply to them?

 

Cheers, T.
