    • I suggested consideration of bankruptcy some years ago. It was not well received.
    • That is a superb WS. However, I have a few tweaks to suggest. In (2) "indicating" not "indication". I think to be consistent with your numbering, in (6) the Beavis case should be EXHIBIT 2. Do you really need to include over 100 pages of Beavis?  I think that would be likely to annoy the judge.  Just try and find the bit where they decide it was not a penalty due to having an interest in limiting the time that vehicles can stay. I'll have a look myself for this bit later as it's highly likely to be in WSs from PPCs who think that that paragraph means all their charges are valid always on every occasion. After your current (7) add this.  It's always useful to refer to a judgment when making a legal point - 8.  In the case PCM vs Bull, Claim No. B4GF26K6, where the Defendant was issued parking tickets for parking on private roads with signage stating “No parking at any time”, District Judge Glen in his final statement mentioned that: “the notice was prohibitive and didn’t communicate any offer of parking and that landowners may have claim in trespass, but that was not under consideration”.   In (14) if my maths are right the CPR request should be "EXHIBIT 3".  it is missing from your list of exhibits. In (16) the two figures should be £100 and £170.  They are entitled to increase fro,m £60 to £100, they are not entitled to increase to £170.  To make it clear for the judge I would write - 16. The Claimant has artificially inflated their claim for a £100 invoice to £170. This is simply a poor attempt to circumvent the legal costs cap at small claims. 17. The Claimant has also invented a second fictitious charge, for legal representative's costs, when they have no legal representative. You also need ot number your exhibits. The rest is excellent - well done.
    • Did you ever think of walking away? Become bankrupt and in 12 months it'll all be behind you. My feeling is that you may well get nothing from the sale of the property anyway. Going by the date this thread started it looks like eight years of arrears, lender's costs and receiver’s fees on top.
    • Just to clarify - I make use of evening legal clinics. It is not always possible to see a lawyer (they have limited time and days/week).  This means questions one has may never get answered or there's weeks between follow-ups.   To be really clear - I am representing myself; I am playing at being lawyer/ barrister - which means I take help wherever I can get it (and then research it thoroughly). Ae - a judge in a recent hearing pointed out the receiver is not part of my current proceedings - and suggested I have a separate claim v the receiver. Disclosure has presented damning evidence v the receiver  The receiver against whom I have a complaint is not part of the receiver governing body.   The receivership is in 2 names - a joint one.  My complaint is directed at whom I was told is the lead receiver.  The other named receiver IS a member of the governing body.  But he has now left the company.  And the lead receiver has retired - but is still a working consultant on my case.   All the evidence shows it was the 'lead' receiver who was doing all the  work/ the misbehaviour.   But if the appointment was 'joint' would I make a complaint against them both?    I am sure that wouldn't go down well with the other receiver who is at the beginning of his career. The law is very much against borrowers.   But the evidence against this receivership is crystal clear.   I just don't know how and to whom to complain.   The places I've tried so far don't offer much transparency

    • 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 all.

 

I have a question for you.

 

Right i have been Unfairly sacked from my job. When i attempted to Appeal the decision (in writing, recorded delivery etc) i had no reply, when i rang them to find out what was going on the put me on hold for 15 mins then put the phone down. OK So i left it 28 days (still no response) then filed a claim with the ET.

 

Ok they took on the claim and sent the form etc to my exempolyer, they then left replying to the very last day of there 28 days (i have not had a copy of there reply yet) but a few days ago i got a call from the Acas rep who told me her part in all this and she said that the next step was that she would contact my old boss, Today i got an e-mail from her saying that my old boss wants to complete the appeal process before discussing this procedure, he has asked if i could call him to arrange this and Once my appeal is concluded please ring her (Didn't see that one coming)

 

TBH my first reaction was to be Insulted, The only reason he has done this is because (as i read it) if he doesn't give me an Appeal meeting within 28 days its automatic Unfair dismissal and hes doing this to weaken my case, the company has been very unreasonable about the hole matter and he has personally had just over Two months to respond to me so i think hes taken advice from some one thinking originally i was going to just go away and he's been told to give me a "Meeting" I personally don't think i have any advantage in going to it but the question is do i have to this late in the game?

 

I know he has already submitted his response the the Tribunal but at this point i don't know what it is?

 

What do you think? Do i say i want to leave it for the court to decide? I don't think they quite know how upset i am to loose my Job/Livelihood etc whats more in such a underhanded manner and all they can do is try and play games with me.

What was the date of your dismissal? I assume this was pre 6th April 2009?

 

Under the old rules (pre 6th April), you were only obliged to send an appeal letter (which could serve as a grievance letter), and wait 28 days before commencing your ET claim.

 

I think all things considered the ET will view your ex-employer's conduct as being unreasonable as over 56 days must have elapsed now since you sent the 1st appeal letter.

 

I suppose there is a slight risk of you being moderately criticised for not exercising this new offer of an appeal, but if by now you have found a new job, then this would be pointless as re-instatement would be worthless.

 

I think all things considered you should tell the ET and the ACAS conciliator that you did appeal, and that your employer failed to deal with this, and consequently you do not feel obliged to appeal once again as you believe the offer of an appeal is not genuine, or made in good faith.

Thanks you, your advise is really appreciated.

 

I was dismissed in Feb o9 and as you say there is a distinct chance this is not genuine.

 

Thanks again

Chris

Just to update you, i received a letter from my Ex employer this morning saying

 

"Dear Chris

I refer to you letter dated 17th Feb 2009 and to my reply dated 23th feb 2009. I also refer to the recent conversation with ACAS.

During my last conversation with ACAS, it was agreed that you would contact me in order for the next stage of the company’s disciplinary process to be carried out. As at today's date, I have had no contact from you.

Could i ask you to contact me urgently please, in order that a mutually acceptable date can be agreed for the appeal to take place?

Owing to holidays and business reasons, the forthcoming period is an exceptionally busy period in the diary, and i am conscious on trying to ensure that we move forward as you have requested.

Please contact me as soon as possible.

Managing director "

 

 

So he is saying they sent me a letter on the 23rd of Feb, problem is i did not receive it which is odd as at that point i was meeting the post man at the door every day to see what had been sent back.

 

Next thing is if he did send me a letter an I've not replied should should he have sent something like "The 28 days i am required to give you is up and i now consider this matter closed" or some thing like that?

 

All that said i have still not seen my copy of there response to the ET.

Hi There

 

I would certainly get on to the Employment Tribunal and ask if they have received a copy of the response from the employer.

 

Additionally, go either to your union rep if you have one, or go to the CAB. This situation is tricky as you've got ACAS trying to resolve it - by the way, how did they get involved?

 

Also contact ACAS and see what they say.

 

Best wishes

Heb
