    • Hello I hope someone can give me some advice here, as I am at a bit of a loss on how to proceed. This relates to alleged offences under the RTA. Yesterday I received a notification from the local police of intention to prosecute for the following offences: 1 driving without due care and attention 2 failing to stop at a road traffic accident 3 failing to report a road traffic accident At this stage they have only asked me to say whether I was the driver at the time or not and provided a blank sheet of paper to give information about the incident. Going by the location (just round the corner from where I live) I can only imagine this relating to one recent incident, which wasn't actually an accident but more of a road rage event. I was driving past someone unloading or working next to his lorry which had stopped in the road. I wasn't going fast or anything, while I went by lorry man turned around and punched and kicked my car whilst going past him. I stopped and got out and wanted to know what he thought he was doing punching and kicking my car. He then hurled some verbal abuse at me, swearing and he was quite aggressive. I still didn't know what his problem was and said I would report him to his company for threatening behaviour and vandalism for punching my car. I got my phone and tried to take a photo of his lorry and number plate but at that moment he came right at me, still shouting and swearing, so I was worried he may hit me next, as he already punched my car. I thought if the guy hits me I will come off second best, so I decided to retreat. I quickly got back into my car and left. When I checked my phone later the photo I tried to take was blurred and useless, so I thought it was pointless to report the incident to the police, as the guy would not be traceable. Over that I forgot about it until I got the letter yesterday in the post. This is the only thing I believe this can relate to, but I have no idea based on what the three above allegations come from There was no road traffic accident, more of a road rage incident. So I am at a loss what to do. I have 28 days to respond. Should I just say yes I was the driver and was there and see what happens next, or should I already make a written statement on the attached piece of paper they sent me and send that with it ? Is there anyone here who would have a rough idea what to do next ? I tried my legal advice line through my Union, but they have sent me from pillar to post, now say it needs to go to a different department again and that would be chargeable as the RTA comes under Criminal Law. So any advice would be appreciated Many Thanks
    • So a quick update got bounced around two different departments and managed to speak to a DVLA bod , explained the situation and they could see the overlap and that DD payments had been made from Feb , also no formal remiders prior , they gave me a number for the legal dept who I am calling this morning to see what they can do in terms of the SJP notice , still have time to submit this online.  Will update after my chat this morning 
    • Also, I am trying to understand how invoicing a large sum in a 6m period becomes tax fraud?   Is it because if he had invoiced over the £85k threshold he should have been obligated to charge vat?  Which would have meant hmrc would have benefited from the vat amount? So by not charging it Hmrc have lost out on £s revenue?  Is that what makes it tax fraud? So as a self-employed contractor, let's say he invoiced one Co for 200k.  Should he have charged vat on the full 200k (£40k)? Or just on the sum above the threshold (£23k)?  And that by not charging vat, he has knowingly withheld tax £s from Hmrc? And is the payer complicit ?

    • 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.

Can anyone point me in the direction for this case law

 

Kpohraror v Woolwich Building Society [1996] 4 All ER 119

 

I can't see anything in the case law library on CAG and Google is not much help either.

 

My hearings next week and I've quoted it within my defense I'm worried in case I'm asked about it.

 

TIA

29. The Court of Appeal applied the first rule in Hadley v Baxendale 9 Exch 341 as explained by Asquith LJ in Victoria Laundry [1949] 2 KB 528. Potter LJ said that loss of the chance or opportunity of repeat business should in principle be available, and that the issue in this case was for how long it was or should have been in the reasonable contemplation of the parties that the trading relationship would continue. In para 29 he referred to the statement by Evans LJ in Kpohraror v Woolwich Building Society[1996] 4 All ER 119, 127J-128A that the starting point for any application of Hadley v Baxendale is the extent of the shared knowledge of both parties when the contract was made. In para 31 he observed that the claim, as presented at the trial, was one for loss of business profits made up of specific transactions none of which had yet been concluded at the time of the Bank's breach. It depended on the chance or contingency that Economy Bag would act so as to enable Samson to make that profit as explained in Allied Maples Group Ltd v Simmons & Simmons [1995] 1 WLR 1602 where, at p 1614C, Stuart- Smith LJ said that the plaintiff must prove as a matter of causation that he had a real substantial chance as opposed to a speculative one. Thus far the judgment proceeded on orthodox lines, and there are no grounds for criticism.

 

 

This may help a bit?

There's a forum link here that might help :-

I believe from the above, CPR 31.14 can only be used to inspect documents explicitly mentioned in the Particulars Of Claim, when it is used in a small claims procedure - it can only be used while the case is still 'trackless' i.e. before your defence has been submitted and subsequently allocated by a judge to a track.

 

In small claims, CPR 18 can also be used (whilst trackless), e.g. where documents have not been explicitly mentioned in the Particulars Of Claim, however it should not be used as a replacement for an SAR, in other words limit to a list that is strictly relevant to the claim e.g. copy of agreement, default notice, notice of assignemet, deed of assignment, rather than say demanding a list of all telephone conversations etc.

 

that at least is my understanding of the above from SurfaceAgentX20's comments....

 

In both cases tho' you should emphasize that it cannot be dismissed under CPR 27(f) for Small Claims, providing the Request is made whilst the case is still 'trackless'

 

Any thoughts anyone ?

Update:

 

I attended my hearing this week, on checking in with the court user, I was introduced to the claimants solicitor prior to going in, the solicitor asked me what I'll be saying to the judge, I said that's between me and the judge, the solicitor hands me some documents, this is what I'll be relying on he said, the Rankin case, I gave him the documents back and said there is nothing in there that affects my case.

 

In we go, I knew as soon as I walked in that it had debtor on my head, just a gut feeling, the judge deals with my set aside application, having considered my application, it's dismissed on the basis I admitted the debt on the N1 court papers, he asked did I admit liability for the debt, and I said with all due respect, it's not a question of liability it's a question of have the claimants followed the correct procedure in bringing this claim, the judge said, it is about liability and asked do I admit I'm liable for the debt seeing as I've had the money, I started to panic at this stage as said yes, although I tried to explain that Payplan had instructed me to sign the form and forward onto them, he was not having any of it, set aside application dismissed he said, again, I tried to explain that as per my GPs letter I suffer with a psychotic condition, when the court claim came through, I panicked phoned Payplan, and they told me to sign and forward it on to them, no, he was having none of it, again he states set aside application dismissed.

 

We move onto interim charging order, the judge asks the solicitor if they've informed any other creditors of there application, he said no, I then said they're aware I have xxx creditors, the judge then states on reading the I&E supplied by Payplan, although it states xxx creditors as no individual creditor is listed, therefore, NR given priority re charging order.

 

The judge then states, he's read my defence and believes there is a strong possibility the claimant will succeed with their claim, I tried to explain about Woodchester & Swain case, but no, again he was having none of it, he asks the solicitor what is the figure they are looking to secure, the solicitor gives him a figure, new date to be set for the interim charging order to be made final.

 

The solicitors costs of £xxx for the set aside hearing is granted.

 

The judge was on /off / on / off with the tape throughout the hearing, at the end, he turned the tape of and said, “he's read my lengthy and in specific detail defence about the claimant not complying with the correct legislation, but in his view the claimant will succeed with there application, and the more I try to dispute it, the more costs I'm going to incur”

 

Good day.

 

And we leave the room.

 

This was going to be my part of my defence Image - TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting

 

I have 21 exhibits showing where the claimant has fallen down on legislation, case law quotes, OFT debt collection quotes, but I never got to present any of that.

 

I felt intimidated and disadvantaged not being allowed to show the claimants errors, maybe I'll be given a chance at the next hearing, but in all honesty I doubt I'll attend, I neither have the psychological strength or confidence to go through it again.

Just Pm you.

 

My thoughts are the creditors are reading this cag site and are using it for there benefit and maybe we are putting too much information on here ?

 

The judge is a disgrace and this is not the only case this week which has been all one sided.

 

Are the judges suppose to look at both sides of the coin. It doesnt seem to be the case to me and i am annoyed that Von has been treated so badly.

 

Also what happen to the the charging order process ? Surly Von would have to default on the ccj before they can have a CO.

 

Unfair to the other creditors and if it is a joint mortgage surly unfair to his wife !

 

If Evershields are reading this "WE WONT GIVE UP"

 

Most people in this country think that we deserve what we get by borrowing a load of money and not paying the big bullies back.

 

That is not the case and people for whatever reason lose there jobs or they are ill and simply cant afford to repay.

 

Von uses Payplan and he is trying to make an effort to pay what he can afford and the judge should see this but no chance.

 

Von dont give up. You still have a arguement of stopping them with a co.

 

Anybody else with an opinon of why the judges are not being helpful i would like to know.

:-( Don't give up VG, people on here will support and help you.

 

I felt like that at my last hearing, mine's coming up at the beginning of March.

 

Between now and your next hearing people will help you and you must attend your hearing for the CO. You know I am and I will fight them to the bitter end, I know that solicitors etc are reading these and they are just bullies.

 

The judge at my hearing had to ask who I was, opened the file and I didn't even get a chance to speak. She should have realised that I had a installment order in place but nevertheless asked if I wanted to adjourn to seek legal representation!!!!

 

If the Judge at my next hearing does the same and allows the CO it will overturn the Mercantile case on its head. It will mean that any Claimant at any time during the lifetime of the debt apply for a CO and be successful - disgraceful.

 

Anyway enough of be harping on keep plugging into the threads, people will help you including me if only to give you moral support.

 

HH
