    • Hi All, I've just had the inevitable N24 and other paperwork arrive. I've read other examples on here and I think I understand the steps to follow. I have until the 28th May to return the N180 Small Claims Direction Questionnaire, I also have an N244 Application notice copy. I read an update on a case you kindly put a link in for me to read. Turns out they lost in court and are now struggling. I really don't want to get to that stage and am thinking mediation may be the way forward? Thoughts please? Pretty sure I've missed the 7 days to have the order set aside.  For reference, this is what I received: Dated 8th May Before Deputy District Judge Baker sitting at the Civil National Business Centre, 4th Floor St Katharine's House, 21-27 St Katharine's Street, Northampton, NN1 2LH   The Court will deal with the application to lift the stay without hearing under CPR 23.8(c)   It is ordered that:   The Application to lift the stay and for direction questionnaires to be issued is granted.   Because this Order has been made without a hearing, the parties have the right to apply to have the Order set aside, varied or stayed. A party making such an application must send or deliver the application to the court (together with any appropriate fee) to arrive within seven days of service of this Order. If the application is one which requires a hearing, and   a) the party making the application is the Defendant; and b) the Defendant is an individual,   then upon the filing of the application the claim will be transferred to the Defendant's home court. In all other cases requiring a hearing the claim will be transferred to the preferred court.  
    • no ftmdave ive not emailed at ceo level..i did not know you could do that....but i will do now, thanks. ive just been wasting time emailing to customer complaints department
    • Dx, I've now blocked out and attached a copy of the letter that I'm responding tonight.
    • You mention that Iceland have been useless, and that has been our experience too in other cases. However, have you escalated to CEO level?  https://www.ceoemail.com/s.php?id=ceo-9061&c=Iceland Foods-Chief Executive If not, it has to be worth an e-mail.  Mention immediately, first line, that you are disabled and have been a victim of disability discrimination on the part of the shop's agents. The idea may fail miserably, but nothing ventured ...

    • 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.

A bloke starts his new job at the zoo and is given three tasks. First

 

is to clear the exotic fish pool of weeds.

 

 

 

As he does this a huge fish jumps out and bites him. To show who is

 

boss, he beats it to death with a spade.

 

 

 

Realizing his employer won't be best pleased he disposes of the fish by

 

feeding it to the lions, as lions will eat anything.

 

 

 

Moving on to the second job of clearing out the Chimp house, he is

 

attacked by the chimps that pelt him with coconuts.

 

 

 

He swipes at two chimps with a spade killing them both. What can he do?

 

Feed them to the lions, he says to himself, because lions eat

 

anything...

 

 

 

He hurls the corpses into the lion enclosure.

 

 

 

He moves on to the last job which is to collect honey from the South

 

American Bees.

 

 

 

As soon as he starts he is attacked by the bees. He grabs the spade and

 

smashes the bees to a pulp.

 

 

 

By now he knows what to do and shovels them into the lions cage because

 

lions eat anything.

 

 

 

Later that day a new lion arrives at the zoo.. He wanders up to another

 

lion and says "What's the food like here?"

 

 

 

The lions say: "Absolutely brilliant, today we had Fish and Chimps with

 

Mushy Bees

Very funny Caro - I like it! :lol:

 

My OH has ordered me three large Yankee candles! Normally I'd be telling him he's mad as they're £20 a piece - but he got them for me at a bargain price, £25 for all three from QVC! I'm delighted :whoo:

Must admit, I thought he'd got Federer on the run for a while there. No doubt he was a worthy finalist. I hope you're right burly.

Have you seen the completed listing?

 

£10,900.00!!!

 

Logan wanted it to go to the Queen and the winning bidder has the letters E & R! I wonder who that might be?

 

But did you also see that the high bidder wouldn't pay, saying they only bid to push the price up. Ditto the previous 20 or so individual bidders. Rotten barstewards. I've seen that happen with charity auctions/funny auctions run by adults, but to do that to a five year old is just wrong.

Sister: Friend can't move home this summer (he's a student) because his parents live too far up north.

Dad: Where does he live?

Sister: Near Paignton Zoo. Where the camels are.

 

:lol:

 

I'm with her - Paignton is up north!

 

I had a whinge on facebook about a work colleague and mentioned that her accent is annoying. I then mentioned she was Scottish. I am so dead - 2 friends of mine are Scottish...
