    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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.

You may wish to justify it to yourself like that, but it is snooping and may even potentially move into criminal activity within the realms of the Computer Misuse Act.

 

Well thats all good and well, but no computers are involved... I have a bunch of files in front of my nose, which I can open and look at any time without anyone even batting an eyelid..

So, as the sooper dooper invaluable employee that you are who is single handedly keeping your company afloat, are you saying you have nothing better to do?

 

Yep.. got any suggestions?

My suggestion I'm afraid isn't the one you want to hear.

 

I would suggest that you stop wasting your boss's money. Being productive for some of the time and twiddling your thumbs for the rest of the time does not make you a good asset to his business.

 

Perhaps he is measuring your value on more subjective issues unconnected to productivity or experience, such as integrity, honesty, loyalty. Maybe he has you sized up just right and pays you accordingly;)

 

From what you have said here, I think you dispaly some unfortunate character deficiencies.

You have obviously only ever dealt with soft and stupid people and dont really have any experience with aggression on this level.

:eek:

 

No. I deal with ordinary everyday people;)

 

I think with the kind of allegations you are making you should contact the police.....or James Bond (007.....licensed to kill)

Lucky you...

Yeah, thought about it, but 3 problems: 1) No access to evidence 2) Very powerful lawyers 3) Potential for greater repercussions to me and/or my family.

Racist or not, it does seem you were being taken advantage of because of your situation. Now that circumstances have changed, look for another job and confronting your employers never ends up well unless you're ready to leave your job if the worst happens.

Yeah, thanks for the advice.. this is a route I am currently looking at, but will have to see how it goes, the job market is kinda crap at the moment.

I would be as disgusted as the next person about discrimination, however, this poster appears to be trying to create a case for racial / religous descrimination where there appears to be none.

 

My points are purely about hi-lighting where there are totally reasonable grounds for not paying him a top wage.

 

at the time I was unaware what sort of people I was working for

 

If the CD cant drum up any trade during the off season... that is solely his problem and responsibility.

 

the man in question is a greedy exploitative b*****d who ripped off his previous business to the tune of $20

 

LOL... we're off season at the moment.. nothing to do :-)

 

 

Regarding snooping.. well, its not so much snooping as their carelessness

 

Like I said, loyalty, integrity etc are traits to be valued in a company and amongst other things they help pull a good wage. And, Geoff, being the least lazy person in a company is a ridiculous justification for dishonesty.

Thanks Geoff, I will definitely try to do that.

 

Yes, Kurvaface clearly does have some issues.

Urban Dictionary: trolling

Not trying to create anything, thats why I came on here and asked for opinions and advice. Assumptions are the mother of... I'm sure you know how the rest goes.

 

My points are purely about hi-lighting where there are totally reasonable grounds for not paying him a top wage.

Totally reasonable??? They have no idea about what I know and what I dont, as far as they are concerned I am their most productive employee and the least costly. Once again, you are working of pure assumption.

 

Besides, even if they did know, judging by your comments you would pay a completely incompetent and useless employee more just for loyalty/integrity.. LOL... ridiculous.. any actually good staff would leave and your business would go down the crapper.

Azer

 

I apologise if I have been personal and antagonistic - like you I am relatively new to this forum and still establishing what I can and can't say;). I am not a Troll - I'm too Ugly - I am just trying to understand.

 

I understand you are being underpaid in comparison to colleagues and you need to establish a plan of action to deal with it. This is unfair and has to rectified.

 

Your thread title has the word "discriminated" in it. You have said there has been no obvious discrimination against you. You have though made quite big allegations against the company you work for. On the one hand you say you are their star employee, on the other you have shown that you can just as easily sit back.

 

I don't think these are gounds for a tribunal and like a previous poster has also said, if there is not a structured agreed pay system in place then you have to just take it on the chin as it does sound a bit like sour grapes.

Hi Kurvaface and Azer,

 

The Race Relations Act of 1976 and all other ammendments does not take into account whether discrimination happenned knowingly or unknowingly on the part of the employer - i,e; it is an offence in itself that discrimination did happen.

 

Regarding the situations Azer has brought to light, if the employer is in fact not very straight forward, raising a grievance might be of no help - At the end of the day tribunal action will not provide patch up hurt feelings.

 

Cheers,

G.

 

Cheers,

G.
