New Rankine Case

[B3rty]

Sorry if this has been looked at but I came across this the other day and its a new rankine case

 

I had to post it on the site link ( Mods--its not commercial) as the court doc is word and I couldn't find it on the normal database..i

 

Rankines...they sure are trying hard!

[B3rty]

Can You Translate The Judgement In English For Every One Who Does Not Know Of The Rankins

[B3rty]

I can't see anything in this to cause problems as they were arguing 127(4) and for most of us its just about prescribed terms which has 127(3) and the case law to back it up

 

Its not easy to understand but I think they were trying a technicallity over the fact that it wasn't a cancellable agreement which must have been cancelled so were using this to get a court judgement in their favour, however the court concluded that the mere fact that the agreement was voluntarily cancellable did not make it statutorily cancellable, and therefore s.127(4) could not apply.

Its an old judgment peeps

 

been out for a while and happily forgotten about to be honest, the case was absurd and did not do them any favours

[Bookworm]

You mean their other cases did?

Roughly

 

How Much Does It Cost Each Time To Send A Case To The Court Of Appeal

How Were They Able To Keep Doing This

Two words: Legal Aid.

Dat's da bunny, yep.

 

The taxpayer pays for a useless action against companies now subsidised or owned by, wait for it, the taxpayer.

 

And they said Kafka was mad... Visionary, more like, although even he would probably have baulked at the excesses currently ongoing in this land and others.

[UK26]

how much does a simple case of appeal cost then ??

[Von Greenbach]

At my recent CO hearing Evershi*s inf'd me outside the court they were relying on transcripts from Rankin, sadly we never got that far to know what part

[steven4064]

It wouldn't have been this Rankine case though, it would haave been their Amex fiasco

[Von Greenbach]

It wouldn't have been this Rankine case though, it would haave been their Amex fiasco

You may well be right steven, the solicitor never got to the disclosure stage

[Bookworm]

Great line to use against those that would try to intimidate you with it, though:

 

"We will be using the Rankine case"

"which one? Amex, Tesco's, etc...?"

I am a novice compared to you guys but something strikes me as odd about the rankins?

 

Don't forget I am a distrusting bugger, so! The rankins seem to be setting up judgements that can be used against us.

 

Ok i'm an institution that collects money and legislation is constantly being introduced and used to make my collection activities more difficult and it is effecting my pocket. I have little recourse to get legislation changed so I need to to disarm and dilute what is being used against me. So if I set up cases were I am almost sure I am going to loose, I then take it as far as possible to get the judgement I am seeking. So I set up a patsy to do my bidding.

 

My question is are the Rankins the patsy, are we sure what game they are playing eg scrabble is a game of spelling words - NO - it is a game of using words to your best advantage!

 

This should open up a debate
