    • I googled "prescribed disability" to see where it is defined for the purposes of S.92. I found HMRC's definition, which included deafness. I don't  think anyone is saying deaf people cant drive, though! digging deeper,  Is it that “prescribed disability” (for the purposes of S.88 and S.92) is defined at: The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999 WWW.LEGISLATION.GOV.UK These Regulations consolidate with amendments the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1996...   ….. and sleep apnoea / increased daytime sleepiness is NOT included there directly as a condition but only becomes prescribed under “liability to sudden attacks of disabling giddiness or fainting” (but falling asleep isn't fainting!), so it isn’t defined there as a “prescribed disability”  Yet, under S.92(2)(b) RTA 1988 “ any other disability likely to cause the driving of a vehicle by him in pursuance of a licence to be a source of danger to the public" So (IMHO) sleep apnea / daytime sleepiness MIGHT be a prescribed disability, but only if it causes likelihood of "driving being a source of danger to the public" : which is where meeting / not meeting the medical standard of fitness to drive comes into play?  
    • You can counter a Judges's question on why you didn't respond by pointing out that any company that charges you with stopping at a zebra crossing is likely to be of a criminal mentality and so unlikely to cancel the PCN plus you didn't want to give away any knowledge you had at that time that could allow them to counteract your claim if it went to Court. There are many ways in which you can see off their stupid claim-you will see them in other threads  where our members have been caught by Met at other airports as well as Bristol.  Time and again they take motorists to Court for "NO Stopping" apparently completely forgetting that the have lost doing that because no stopping is prohibitory and cannot form a contract. Yet they keep on issuing PCNs because so many people just pay up . Crazy . You can see what chuckleheads they are when you read their Claim form which is pursuing you as the driver or the keeper. they don't seem to understand that on airport land because of the Bye laws, the keeper is never liable.

    • 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 waited until the 23rd/Feb and on my third vist to the court (may have been the 4th but at least three) from that date the guy at the court confirmed to myself that the claimant had paid the fee of three hundred pounds but on the 3rd/March (which was yesterday) which makes the payment late in my book. Now he advised to send a letter to the judge to confirm that fact. Should I but what will happen ? Will an automatic strike out happen by the order of the court as I believe and will they confirm that in writing. This is getting stranger by the moment..

Interesting, I forgot to ask if the fee had been paid on ours, just assumed it had, maybe I should check?

 

 

 

 

 

How would anyone know, as its unclear to if the court would have informed us and as they (the claimant ) had paid the fee late which needs to be addressed otherwise its a case of making it all up to suit yourselves which includes the court. We do live in strange times..

Should I wait for the court to confirm in writing that the claimant has paid the fee even though its late and perhaps if and when that happens I could complain to the court that it was paid late so they may strike it out. What do others think ?

i wouldnt get your hopes on the claim being struck out due to late payment im afraid. the claimant almost always is given leeway. you need to prepare for court i feel as caro suggested.

edit: If you are awaiting documents that you require to form the defence then you need to put in an application to see those documents Urgently!

I am still waiting original documents from the claimant and they have failed to provide them. Do we apply to the claimant again ? (how many more times) They have paid the fee but they paid it late. This is where this is up to so its on to the next stage. Any further advice would be appreciated..

Have you filed an application for disclosure of them or has the court ordered them disclosed?

 

I think you need to read this thread urgently...

So the claimant needs to pay a hearing fee by 23rd Feb or the case will be struck out. If it's paid then you need to start preparing your court bundle and a witness statement setting out what happened which has led to the case and the arguments you intend to use to defend it.

 

 

 

 

This has been left a while, but as you may have read the 300 pounds was paid but was paid late. I intend to go back into the court tomorrow to see if the hearing is still to go ahead as I am aware of deadlines. A request for an order compelling disclosure of information requested seems an option..

Got the paper work in to the court and the other side. Is this wasted costs issue something I can present on the day ?

 

If you win or they withdraw the claim then yes you can.

 

You'll need to adapt this to your circumstances as defendant.http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/48-bank-templates/143-wasted-costs-order-

Is it the defendant who needs to do any application for wasted court costs or is it my self as the witness ? I believe I have followed the court's directions which is more than can be said for the other side..

I would say it needs to be the defendant. It could be seen that you are charging.

 

Are you going as a witness or to speak for her? If you are losing money from work because you need to attend perhaps your OH could apply for lost wages for you. I wouldn't want to push it too far. You never know how the judge may respond.

Just out of pocket expenses and a nomimal sum for my time and effort I guess. Its not even about the money for me but more about why have they started something that they have not even been too bothered about with information reasonably requested..

 

 

I am going on her behalf, not even sure if the court will allow me to speak, I will see on the day no doubt..

Phone the court and check what you need to do to be able to speak for her. If she goes with you I don't think it should be a problem, but if not I should think you'll need something in writing giving consent.

 

Don't leave it to the last minute to find out.

Had already sent authorisation letter to the court for me to act on behalf of the OH, not sure I need to follow it up ? Is this hearing likely to be heard in chambers rather than in open court would you know ? Today I have recieved papers from claimant and there witness statement, however they are clearly out of the time as directed by the court. What should I say or do about that ?

 

Also sent was a copy of a default notice that was stated was sent towards the end of 2008. They also stated copy of the assignment was sent in September of 2008. Regarding the assigment notice, they claim in the witness statement that they do not have to disclose the deed of assignment as this is commercially sensitive which if disclosed could come to the attention of the claimants competitors and hense therefore be prejudical to the claimant.

 

There is other stuff about section 136 of the law of property act 1925. I'm getting confused now, but the fact that sending this stuff now is out of time is it not ? court date is still 4th/May/2010. What is likely to happen on the date as things stand, for instance don't they have to show that the default notice was served as well as well as the assignment ?

 

Wot do I do now ? Is this a case of trying to confuse me and why have they left it until now and if this is stuff that intend to use at the court on the day, this is out of the 14 day period as directed by the court and to which I have shown respect to the procedure. What are they playing at ?

Thanks for your help. Authoraisation letter went in. Claimant failed in the time limits by the court, so what would you say is the correct procedure to draw this to the court. Went to the court to day to enquire wheter I will be able to speak on behalf of OH as requested by her self to the court. A court staff member said that the judge would inform Oh in writing before the end of this week if this is allowed. I now wait. I personally have found this whole issue strange in the sense that simple requests for very basic stuff is left to the last moment or not delivered at all. Oh hum, guess its all a learning curve..

First thing to do is phone the court and see if they have received anything.

It's not unusual for the other party to 'forget' to supply you with the required paperwork. If the court hasn't received anything either, write to them, explain the situation and enclose a copy of any court order that was handed down.

When I asked to speak for my employer, I heard nothing at tall back from the court. This was a Judge well known down here for being particular about paperwork. I just turned up on the day and the all the Judge said was 'Ah, your Mr Lex and your here to represent your Boss' !! :eek:

 

Hope this helps,

 

Lex
