    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files 2024-01-15 DBCLegal SAR.pdf
    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf
    • Just to update this. I did apply to strikeout and they did not attend the hearing. I won by defualt and the hearing lasted 5 minutes (court only allocated 15). The judge simply explained that the only matter he was really considering is if the Defendant could have any oral evidence to defend the claim. However he said he had decided that based on their defence, and their misunderstanding of law, and their non attendence he did not think they had any reasonsable chance so he awarded me SJ + Costs on the claim form + the strikeout fee. Luckily when I sent the defendant the order I woke up the next day to a wire trasnfer for the full sum of the judgement

    • 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.

I sincerely apologies in advance If I’ve posted this in the wrong forum, but couldn’t find one that seem to be directed to this matter.

 

I am a father of 4 children 2 of which live with my ex partner. Over the last 10 years my children have been mistreated by my ex partners boyfriend. I finally managed to get the help and support that they required 3 years ago but it has been a constant battle to keep the local authorities involved, even after my ex partners boy friend admitting to Social Service that he has on numerous occasions held my eldest daughter (now 15 years old) around the throat and punched her.

 

My daughters have also told the local authorities of abuse over the period of ten years yet, 8 weeks ago decided there was no cause for concern and closed the file. 7 years ago my ex partners boy friend run me over in front of the children, witnesses made statements supporting this yet, the local police did not take action only summoned him for driving without a license, insurance and someone else’s car without their consent!

 

I lodged a complaint with the local authorities’ complaints department asking one simple question:

 

How can a person admit on numerous occasions to punching a minor and yet still be allowed to live with my children?

 

I was then presented with a catalogue of events to their actions but no answer to the question. I have today lodged a complaint with the government ombudsman but would like to serve the local authority with a request under the data protection act for information, but have no idea on how to go about it. Also, could i obtain the information on my two daughters in connection with this?

 

Any help would be appreciated, if this isn’t the right place to post, could someone please point me in the right direction?

 

 

P.S. My daughters visit every Sunday, 10 weeks ago when I pulled up to collect them I found him yet again with his hands around my daughter’s throat; again he has not been dealt with. I’m starting to feel that I’m imagining all this and it’s me who needs the help!

Hi Aprd

 

You state 2 children live with you 2 with your ex .What was the custody arrangement?

You could apply to have the Residential order over turned in light of what you state above on the basis that you fear for the other 2 childrens welfare

 

Regards

 

Andy

We could do with some help from you.

Hi Andy thanks for your reply.

 

I have 4 children, my two eldest that I am referring to live with my ex partner. I have an equal parental right order in place as well as a restraining order against my ex partner for GBH.

 

We separated 12 years ago and ten years ago I met someone else to whom I am now married too and have two children from. All through this I feel Social Services have treated this case as ‘Oh, its dad who is sore after the relationship split’ which clearly is not the case. I am very happy with the life I have now apart from my concerns for my eldest’s daughter’s wellbeing.

Ok as your eldest is now 16 she is reaching an age were she will be able to decide what is best for herself,and similarly your 14 will follow suit.Residential orders are complicated, time consuming and not least expensive.I have found from personal expierience to let the children decide themselves,not only have they had to deal with a traumatic expierience of their parents split but adjusting to life without that comfort umberella.If she (your eldest daughter felt at any time threatened or in danger im sure she would consult with you and insist on returning to live with you (geographical permitting)

Would it be practical for your eldest children to reside with you?

What as your ex said on the matter?

It really is your choice to force the equal parental order if needs must.

Perhaps a talk with your Solicitor who dealt with split may offer more guidence.

 

Regards

I think that this is one of those cases where you need professional advice - you said that you made a Social Services Complaint - did that go to a complaints panel?

 

If I were you I would see a Solicitor

If I've helped feel free to add to my reputation.

 

I am not a Practising Lawyer. My comments are my opinion only. You should not rely upon those comments and should always take your own professional advice from a practising Solicitor or Barrister

Ok thanks for the info / input by all.

Although I would have loved to have both daughters living with me they couldn't for a number of reasons.

 

Apart from being totally broke after the separation, and spending the best part of six years after the split paying off 15k's worth of debt she had left me with, I only live in a 2 bed house :(

 

On many occasions both have asked to live with me and have tried to raise the funds for a 4 bed house but times have been hard.

 

Anyway, good advice given and will be making an appointment with my solicitor, thanks all
