    • Should this to be take into court with him or should he send something in earlier?

    • 4 means that they need to name and then tell the people who will be affected that there has been an application made, what the application relates to (specificially "whether it relates to the exercise of the court’s jurisdiction in relation to P’s property and affairs, or P’s personal welfare, or to both) and what this application contains (i.e what order they want made as a result of it) 5 just means that teh court think it is important that the relevant people are notified 7 means that the court need more information to make the application, hence they have then made the order of paragraph 1 which requires the applicant to do more - this means the court can't make a decision with the current information, and need more, hence paragraph one of the order is for the applicant to do more. paragraph 3 of the order gives you the ability to have it set aside, although if it was made in january you are very late. Were you notiifed of the application or not?    
    • These are the photos of the signs. At the entrance there is a 7h free sign. On some bays there is a permit sign.  Also their official website is misleading as it implies all parking is free.  I can't be certain of the exact parking bay I was in that day, and there was no PCN ticket on my car and no other evidence was provided.  parking sign 2.pdf
    • Hi, In my last post I mentioned I had received an email from SS who were asking me to hand over the keys to my mother’s flat so they could pass them to the Law firm who have been appointed court of protection to access, secure and insure my mother’s property.  Feeling this, all quickly getting out of my hands I emailed ss requesting proof of this. I HAVEN’T HEARD BACK FROM SS.  Yesterday, I received an email (with attached court of protection order) from the Law Firm confirming this was correct (please see below a copy of this).  After reading the court of protection order I do have some concerns about it:   (a)   I only found out yesterday, the Law firm had been appointed by the court back in January.  Up until now, I have not received any notification regarding this.  (b)   Section 2   - States I am estranged from my mother.  This is NOT CORRECT    The only reason I stepped back from my mother was to protect myself from the guy (groomer) who had befriended her & was very aggressive towards me & because of my mother’s dementia she had become aggressive also.  I constantly tried to warned SS about this guy's manipulative behaviour towards my mother and his increasing aggressiveness towards me (as mentioned in previous posts).  Each time I was ignored.  Instead, SS encouraged his involvement with my mother – including him in her care plans and mental health assessments.   I was literally pushed out because I feared him and my mother’s increasing aggression towards me. Up until I stepped back, I had always looked after my mother and since her admission to the care home, I visit regularly.   .(c)    Sections -  4, 5 and 7  I am struggling to understand these as I don’t have a legal background.  I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to explain what they mean.  It’s been a horrendous situation where I had to walk away from my mother at her most vulnerable because of; ss (not helping), scammer and groomer. I have no legal background, nor experience in highly manipulative people or an understanding of how the SS system operates, finding myself isolated, scared and powerless to the point I haven’t collected my personal belongings and items for my mother’s room in the care home.  Sadly, the court has only had heard one version of this story SS’s, and based their decision on that. My mother’s situation and the experience I have gone through could happen to anyone who has a vulnerable parent.    If anyone any thoughts on this much appreciated.  Thank you. ______________________________________________________  (Below is the Court of Protection Order)  COURT OF PROTECTION                                                                                                                                                                                   No xxx  MENTAL CAPACITY ACT 2005 In the matter of Name xxx ORDER Made by  Depty District Judge At xxx Made on xxx Issued on 18 January 2024  WHEREAS  1.     xxx Solicitors, Address xxx  ("Applicant”) has applied for an order under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.  2.     The Court notes (my mother) is said to be estranged from all her three children and only one, (me) has been notified.  3.     (Me) was previously appointed as Atorney for Property and Affairs for (my mother).  The Exhibity NAJ at (date) refers to (me) and all replacement Attorneys are now officially standing down.  4.     Pursuant to Rule 9.10 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 and Practice Direction 9B the Applicant 2must seek to identify at least three persons who are likely to have an interest in being notified that an application has been issues.”  The children of (my mother), and any other appointed attorneys are likely to have an interest in the application, because of the nature of relationship to (my mother).  5.     The Court considers that the notification requirements are an important safeguard for the person in respect of whom an order is sought.  6.     The Court notes that it is said that the local authority no longer has access to (my mother’s) Property.  7.     Further information is required for the Court to determine the application.  IT IS ORDERED THAT  Within 28 days of the issue date this order, the Applicant shall file a form COP24 witness statement confirming that the other children of (my mother) and any replacement attorneys have been notified of the application and shall confirm their name, address, and date upon which those persons were notified.  If the Applicant wishes the Court to dispense with any further notification, they should file a COP9 and COP24 explaining, what steps (if any) have been taken to attempt notification and why notification should be dispensed with.   Pending the determination of the application to appoint a deputy for (my mother), the Applicant is authorised to take such steps as are proportionate and necessary to access, secure and insure the house and property of (my mother).   This order was made without a hearing and without notice.  Any person affected by this order may apply within 21 days of the date on which the order was served to have the order set aside or varied pursuant to Rule 13.4 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 (“the Rules”).  Such application must be made on Form COP9 and in accordance with Part 10 Rules.

    • 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.

Last week a bought a EEE TOP all in one touchscreen PC from Aria Technology, I took it out of the packaging and had a quick go with it and decided that it wasn't for me so i packaged it up securely in all the original packaging that i got with the item.

 

Today i receive an email saying it has been rejected due to apparently having scratches on the screen which i know is completely wrong.

 

Me and my partner packed it back up and was very careful with it plus we checked the screen and there was no marks on it whatsoever.

 

I will take the matter to Court if required but what do you think about this matter? It was sent back within 2 days of getting it.

You have rights under DSR if you bought it by mail order or online. However, if they are saying it is damaged (and it may well have become damaged in transit) you would be liable (or more properly, your carrier).

 

How did you arrange to return it?

I bought it online, But like i said it was packaged just as i had received it, and was packed in 3 different boxes, there is no way it could have been damaged in transit in my opinion but i am seething and fuming, as they are going to send an unwanted item back to me.

 

It was sent back using Parcelforce which i had to pay for.

sounds like a [problem], ask for photographic evidence;could be faked though! If you are going to make a claim against the carrier they will want to see the evidence; Arrange for carrier to go to premises and inspect it!

Exactly what has gone through my mind!

 

I used it for 5 mins, i didn't use it long enough to scratch it and it was packaged very very securely and i just cannot understand it for one minute, I have 4 witnesses who checked it before it was packed, It was just like new when it was sent back and now they are refusing to refund my money and said i will have to pay to get the item sent back to me but i don't want it back.

I'm not sure that's the case. The OFT guide for business on distance selling (parts 3.62) state that "If the consumer does not exercise reasonable care and the goods are damaged, [the retailer] may have a claim against them for breach of this statutory duty."

 

If reasonable care was taken, then the retailer has a statutory duty to make a full refund of all monies, other than the direct cost of returning the goods (and then, only if they had stated so in their terms and conditions).

More than reasonable care was taken, It was packed just as i had received it and there was not a single mark or scratch on the screen and i paid Parcelforce to collect the item and deliver it back to the company.

The trouble is Parcelforce are well-known for being sonewhat careless, so if the goods were not the same when delivered back to the company, then your claim is against Parcelforce - which is complicated because you don't wat the item.

 

To protect your interests, you NEED photographs of the item as it was delivered to the firm. If they do not recieve it in a saleable condition, they do not have to refund, as it is immaterial to them WHO caused the damage. Incidentally, you'd be amazed at how well-packed stuff can be wrecked whilst the outer packaging remains intact.

 

The dealership are within their rights, if they do not recieve it undamaged they cannot resell it, so the responsibility is with you as they got it to you safely. Incidentally, the fact you paid for the return is correct - you changed your mind, so any return would be at your expense.

 

I believe claiming against Parcelforce is your only realistic action for resolving the issue.

Any got any advice on what kind of email i should send to the company? Aria Technology Ltd?
An LBA, outlining their statutory duties under the DSRs.

 

You could use these as references:

 

The OFT's Business Guide to DSR , and The OFT's Consumer Guide to DSR.

If this were a contractual arrangement, then yes. However, this is a matter of statutory duties.

 

If it can be determined that employing Parcelforce was not taking reasonable care, then the claim might be against them.

DSRs do not afford the retailer the right to be able to resell any item returned under the DSRs. Section 3.59 of the OFT guide covers this to some extent.

 

"The DSRs do not link cancellation rights with a supplier’s ability to resell items as new."

In issues like these, it becomes an issue of 'he says/she says' - What is so different about your return of an item? They will have refunded people and dealt with returns before. You used PARCELFORCE who have the Olympic record for throwing cardboard boxes - so you are in no position to confirm the level of damage on reciept, only that it left you undamaged.

 

Without proof, you've nothing to fall back on.

You made this link, not me. The shop mist recieve the goods back in a saleable condition. If scratched, this is not a saleable condition, and they are not required to make a refund.

The item was sent to me in a big box, then that had another box inside it and then another box, and it was packaged so securely that it would have had to have been thrown around at some force to damage the actual item was also had been been packaged very securely in it's box and bare in mind that this box was put inside two other very securely packaged boxes.

Other than the OFT guidance on Distance Selling Regulations.

 

Which is worth...? Not a lot if they assert the goods were damaged. I'm impressed you are prepared to accept that PF is a respected shipper! :)

Is this the issue? I thought it was fine when you recieved it? You just changed your mind and sent it back. THEN it goes pear-shaped! So it is the retailer who has the task of confirming safe delivery or not.

As i said it was fine when i got it, i did not want it so sent it back, it was packaged very very well indeed so how the hell did it supposedly have scratches on the screen when it got back to the retailer?

 

Yes i didn't think the item was as good as expected and sent it back for a refund which has now been refused.

Sorry i messed up that other post, I meant to have said that the item was sent back to them in a big box, the actual item was packed securely in it's box and was then put inside another box and then another box just like i received it, It got to me fine and it would have got back to them fine in my opinion.

By what authority?

If scratched, this is not a saleable condition, and they are not required to make a refund.
But they are required to make a refund under the provisions of the DSRs.

From what I've read concerning returns, I would certainly insure any goods I return under the DSR's.

 

But how do you prove to the carrier that the goods were undamaged when they were packed? A series of photos during the packaging process?

 

I realise none of this helps the OP. Apologies.
