    • The Contract itself The airport is actually owned by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan. There should be an authority from them for Bristol airport group  to sign on their behalf. Without it the contract is invalid. The contract has so many  clauses redacted that it is questionable as to its fairness with regard to the Defendants ability to receive a fair trial. In the case of WH Holding Ltd, West Ham United Football Club Ltd -v- E20 Stadium LLP [2018],  In reaching its decision, the Court gave a clear warning to parties involved in litigation: ‘given the difficulties and suspicions to which extensive redaction inevitably gives rise, parties who decide to adopt such an appropriate in disclosure must take enhanced care to ensure that such redactions are accurately made, and must be prepared to suffer costs consequences if they are not’. The contract is also invalid as the signatories are required to have their signatures co-signed by independent witnesses. There is obviously a question of the date of the signatures not being signed until 16 days after the start of the contract. There is a question too about the photographs. They are supposed to be contemporaneous not taken several months before when the signage may have been different or have moved or damaged since then. The Defendant respectfully asks the Court therefore to treat the contract as invalid or void. With no contract there can be no breach. Indeed even were the contract regarded as valid there would be no breach It is hard to understand why this case was brought to Court as there appears to be no reasonable cause to apply to the DVLA.............
    • Danny - point taken about the blue paragraphs.  Including them doesn't harm your case in any way.  It makes no odds.  It's just that over the years we've had judges often remarking on how concise & clear Caggers' WSs have been compared to the Encyclopaedia Britannica-length rubbish that the PPCs send, so I always have a slight preference to cut out anything necessary. Don't send off the WS straight away .. you have plenty of time ... and let's just say that LFI is the Contract King so give him a couple of days to look through it with a fine-tooth comb.
    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.

    • 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.

No post again today and nothing in the bank account this morning - but then I just happened to have a look now and it's there, the whole lot, including interest (and by the looks of it, they've also paid the 17p/day interest since I lodged the claim) and the court costs.

 

WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!

 

Not a word from them, just the money. I'll have to work out what i do now, presumably i have to let the court know - and do I write a thank you letter to the Halifax?? :lol:

 

They've paid it into an account I haven't used for months rather than my old current account, which is £212 overdrawn because of the charges, so I guess I'll have to clear that, but that still means we could be having a very happy Xmas :0)

 

Thanks for all the support on here, guys - and good luck to everyone still battling it out with them.

 

Right, on to whoop the Capital One butt now ;)

Well Done I have also been paid out today as well. I also rang the court, they said they hadn't had a word from the bank but when i checked the account at about 2.30pm there it was. I rang the Halifax & she asked me for the reference number on my claims letter, I told her I didn't have a letter & she said it was very strange that I would have the money in my account before receiving a letter, but I don't care I have my money.:D:D

Well done Julie!!!

 

I still can't really believe it's all over. I was really starting to worry as other people who had filed at the same time had received their money and I'd not heard a thing. Then I had a call from the H this morning about my overdrawn account (which is overdrawn SOLELY because of charges on charges on charges) and I said that it would be cleared as soon as they reimbursed me my money, and of course he had no idea what I was talking about. And then, five hours later, the money's there!!!

 

I'm going to make a donation, of course, because I couldn't have done this without this site - but unfortunately the only account registered with Paypal at the moment is my Halifax one, in my maiden name, and my new current account is in my married name - so you'll have to wait till paypal change the details so i can add the new account!

 

Also, do i need to contact the court to call off the action? And is there anything else I need to do to "close" this?

Exactly the same here. They applied another £28 charge to my account after I submitted the MCOL claim and ahve already tyold me they'll be adding more charges at the end of November and December. I've just called them and they sadi they can't do anything. i told them that there is not going to be any more money paid into that account so unless they reimburse and cancel the charges it's jsut going to go on forever, me tkaing them to court and them paying up - but the answer was still no.

 

And to think i was so decent as to pay in the £200 I was overdrawn from the refund! Wish i hadn't bothered - except that for the first time in years my credit record is okay and I don't want to screw it up!

  • 3 weeks later...

Okay, I wrote to the Halifax reclaiming the £28 they added after the court action started, cancelling the two pending charges for end of Nov and Dec and taking the default off my account that they applied after I submitted my MCOL and they've written back:

 

Dear blah blah,

 

"Unfortunately I am unable to refund the charges you referred to in your letter, as they were not due to a Halifax error.

 

I note that we have previously refunded charges on your account and you were notified at the time that future valid charges would stand and that it is your responsibility to manage your account. You were also notified that if you incurred any future charges the Halifax reserved the right to withdraw your banking facilities; full details are explained in the terms and conditions of the account.

 

The charges you have incurred are in line with the account terms and conditions, if you are dissatisfied with the terms and conditions of your account or our policy on charges then you may wish to close your account."

 

Gits! the extra charges were only put on because I was overdrawn because of their charges that they've now paid back!! And I've just realised that they've had more than their two weeks anyway, so the LBA will be in the post today.
