    • I googled "prescribed disability" to see where it is defined for the purposes of S.92. I found HMRC's definition, which included deafness. I don't  think anyone is saying deaf people cant drive, though! digging deeper,  Is it that “prescribed disability” (for the purposes of S.88 and S.92) is defined at: The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999 WWW.LEGISLATION.GOV.UK These Regulations consolidate with amendments the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1996...   ….. and sleep apnoea / increased daytime sleepiness is NOT included there directly as a condition but only becomes prescribed under “liability to sudden attacks of disabling giddiness or fainting” (but falling asleep isn't fainting!), so it isn’t defined there as a “prescribed disability”  Yet, under S.92(2)(b) RTA 1988 “ any other disability likely to cause the driving of a vehicle by him in pursuance of a licence to be a source of danger to the public" So (IMHO) sleep apnea / daytime sleepiness MIGHT be a prescribed disability, but only if it causes likelihood of "driving being a source of danger to the public" : which is where meeting / not meeting the medical standard of fitness to drive comes into play?  
    • You can counter a Judges's question on why you didn't respond by pointing out that any company that charges you with stopping at a zebra crossing is likely to be of a criminal mentality and so unlikely to cancel the PCN plus you didn't want to give away any knowledge you had at that time that could allow them to counteract your claim if it went to Court. There are many ways in which you can see off their stupid claim-you will see them in other threads  where our members have been caught by Met at other airports as well as Bristol.  Time and again they take motorists to Court for "NO Stopping" apparently completely forgetting that the have lost doing that because no stopping is prohibitory and cannot form a contract. Yet they keep on issuing PCNs because so many people just pay up . Crazy . You can see what chuckleheads they are when you read their Claim form which is pursuing you as the driver or the keeper. they don't seem to understand that on airport land because of the Bye laws, the keeper is never liable.

    • 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 ODC

 

I wood but its against the forum rules to post photos of people, as CAG could be closed if that happened. Wouldn't want the DCA's any powers to do that, but they will be used if or when it ever went to court.

Well how about this little gem that's just dropped though my letterbox- ten days after it was dated...

Different reference this time, and client showing as Debitarse rather than Cap1.

 

I still haven't had a reply to my request for a copy of their complaints procedure that I made ages ago...

Contact your local TS and cc it to theirs. Also send NO Power to Contact this

 

DOORSTEP COLLECTION VISIT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

 

YOUR REF 123456

 

 

Dear Cretins

 

I refer to your recent correspondence.

 

I note it is your intention to arrange a “doorstep call”, please be advised that under OFT rules, you can only visit me at my home if you make an appointment and I have no wish to make an appointment with you.

 

There is only an implied license under Common Law for people to be able to visit me on my property without express permission; the postman and people asking for directions etc (Armstrong v. Sheppard and Short Ltd [1959] 2 Q.B. per Lord Evershed M.R.). Therefore take note that I revoke license under Common Law for you, or your representatives to visit me at my property and if you do so, then you will be liable to damages for a tort of trespass and civil action will be taken.

They've already been sent the standard 'revocation' letter, and completely ignored it- resulting in me starting the thread back in January.

 

I've attached both my previous letters to the letter I'm sending today. I've also added the 'If you don't understand.... show it to someone who does' etc, and the

Right. If No Power to Contact do send a doorstepper to your property its important that you take controll. Remember they have no Legal Rights at all to be on your property. Tell them to leave and if they fail to do so telephone your local police to report a breach of the peace/suspicious caller etc. If possible photograph the Piers Morgan and make a note of any vehicle he may be using.

 

Then report them to the OFT

Hello Underdog13!

 

Do you think they are targeting home owners - to case the joint, so to speak?

 

Yes, that is one of the key reasons for sending them out to visit. They are effectively doing a fly-by valuation of what could be the main Asset, plus any Cars etc.

 

Plus they'll add a little sprinkle of Harassment and Coercion too for good measure.

 

Cheers,

BRW

Thanks, BRW - exactly what I suspected!

 

Glad I drive an old banger now;)

 

Bit of a cheek them turning up for an account whose agreement does not hold any prescribed terms, especially since I sent them the letter revoking their right to visit. They didn't make an appointment either; Tut, Tut.

I'm itching for Power2Annoy to come and visit me.

 

I get all animated when a strange car visits. I grab my best axe and scamper out to see if my dreams have come true.

 

Imagine my disappointment each time when a Car turns up and it isn't Power2Annoy.

 

Cheers,

BRW

 

Remind me not to park outside your gaff :D
