    • Perhaps you would care to read this and reflect on your continuing comparison of Israel to Nazi Germany Jugg    ALEX BRUMMER: How grotesque of pro-Palestine protesters to besmirch Auschwitz, the place where my grandparents died WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK As the son of a refugee from the horrors of the Holocaust, I can feel nothing but contempt for the ignorance, gross... My elderly aunt Sussie and cousin Sheindy had been teenagers at Auschwitz and Belsen but survived and are alive to this day. What they will make of the protesters who waved flags, heckled and chanted as Israelis took part in the March Of The Living – the annual walk from Auschwitz to Birkenau – I cannot imagine. The images now circulating of the protesters are indescribably disturbing. They can only bring back memories of those final moments Sheindy shared with my grandparents when my grandmother Fanya squeezed her hand and told her to lie about her age to avoid the gas chambers. Claiming she was older, and could work, meant that Sheindy lived, not died. The outrage perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 has brought back the most terrifying memories for these two women – memories of pillage, mutilation and starvation. The Holocaust, or Shoah to use the Hebrew word, was the deliberate, industrial-scale killing of Jews.  It is bad enough that pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas sympathisers have chosen to steal the language of the Holocaust.  Any comparison between Israel's retaliation and the monstrous genocide of the 1940s is odious and anti-Semitic
    • Thank you JK2054 and BankFodder for your replies. The information requested is as follows:   My wife and I are sole traders supplying bespoke, handmade wedding trays and other items through our website. We do not sell on ebay. We had an order for two trays (invoice value £370) that were shipped on Monday 25th March. We used P2G as the broker and Evri as the shipper. We declared the value but did not take out insurance. As the trays were a present for a wedding on Saturday 30th March we checked the progress of delivery on the Thursday to see that there had been an attempt to deliver on the 27th but the driver failed to deliver as the customer’s gate was shut (customer informs us that the gates are open between 7am-7pm. We contacted the customer who informed us she had been waiting in all week and there had been no attempt of a delivery. Evri allege they attempted to deliver on the 28th & 29th. On the P2G web site on the 4th April at 14.17 it stated that the customer refused delivery. At 14.28 it updated to say there was a problem with the address and at 14.32 updated to say the customer had refused delivery. At 14.35 updated again to say it was being returned. Last entry was on the 7th April that it was being processed at the depot. We never received it. I have had six web chats with P2G between the 4th-30th April. On the 26th April, I had an offer of £20 plus cost of delivery (£6.72) from P2G which I rejected. During this time, I also contacted Evri that resulted in an email from Evri Customer Services (20th April) stating that they had lost the parcel. I replied requesting details of the attempted delivery but received no reply. After emailing Evri again on the 23rd asking again for the information I received a phone call from someone called Haleemah on the 25th who apologised and promised to send an email with a link to submit a claim form. I subsequently received an email with the link which only took me to a page that stated “Page not found”. After informing Evri customer services of the problem (to which no reply was forthcoming) a couple of days later I retried the link but it only took me to the Evri website. I believe that I have a good case against both companies but would appreciate guidance on which path to go down. I have read most of the information on this site, which has been very helpful and much appreciated, particularly the various court transcripts. I appreciate that this process is a marathon and not a sprint and am fully aware that I need to get everything in the correct order before starting on the legal road. I am sure this covers the current position but if further info is needed please let me know.  
    • Everything at small claims revolves around informality and common sense, there are no "special" ways to have to do things. The site manager's WS will be like yours and the one I linked to - just much shorter.  There need to be the introductory hearings about the case, the parties, etc., and the concluding Statement of Truth. In the middle just a couple of paragraphs where they say who they are, how they know you, and about permission being given by the landowner to use the car park. Superb.  I've added another section about the signage to the suggested WS sections three posts above. Yes, it's perfectly possible.  It'd be a good idea to phone the court on the 18th to see if they have paid.
    • OK thank you very much. I will prepare my WS as you advise.  I will indeed be preparing the WS over the weekend. I will also post UKPC's on Wednesday by 2nd class mail. As they have until the 17th to pay the court fee, is it possible they might discontinue at that stage too? Also I wanted to ask, in what form should the site manager's statement come? And the site owner if i can contact them? I will get photos of the signage to share with you also. Thank you.

    • 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 , was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice please. I failed my PCA on 08/02/I0, but won my appeal for IB on 17/09/10. I had been receiving income support based on incapacity, so IB was national insurance credits only During my appeal, i was told to claim JSA which i did. Here is my concern. After about 3 weeks of winning my appeal, I contacted IB, they sent an email to income support, because they were the ones who were paying my benefit.A lady contacted me from IS to tell me that i had signed off income support to go on to JSA, so should put in a new claim. However, I was told after winning my appeal i would not have to do anything, the benefits would just go back to what they were before i failed the medical. My welfare rights officer has advised me to hang fire, because these things time to sort out.It has been almost 6 weeks after the successful appeal, what should i do? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Chris

Hello Joanne and Chris. The forum guru, Erika, doesn't seem to be around at the moment and this is probably to do with half term.

 

I think you might both get more advice on you own circumstances if you start separate threads. Could I suggest you contact the site team by clicking on the triangle at the bottom of your post and asking them to start a thread for you. If you have a title in mind, tell them, otherwise they will think of something.

 

My best, HB

I got a bit confused, but I think I've understood it now.

 

You were claiming I/B (credits only) & I/S. You failed the medical & appealed.

 

Then rather than getting I/S at a reduced rate during your appeal for some reason you signed on. (Why was your I/B disallowed? Were you found fit for work at a medical or was it another reason?)

You have now won your appeal & need to get all your claims back to how they were pre-disallowance.

 

Anyway, before I/S can sort out any arrears you need to close your JSA claim down. Then make sure the I/B section have notified I/S you have won your appeal. I/S can then work out what arrears you are due (if any) once the JSA you've already received has been knocked off it. You may have to reclaim I/S, but you really need to check that out with the I/S processing team.

 

Give them a call tomorrow & ask for call backs from all 3 sections, because whilst it's not that hard to sort out, it does require all 3 sections to talk to each other & that is sometimes easier said than done! Good luck.

Jabba and honeybee, thank you for replying. Jabba, i was found fit to work by a wonderful member of the ATOS team, you have probably heard the same story a million times, medical was totally different to the one i attended. I was advised to go on JSA, until my appeal was heard, so i did.It would've been a lot easier going on IS at a reduced rate, i realise that now.To be fair, the people at the job centre plus have been fair with me, they have not forced me into anything or rushed me. Anyway thank you for your advice,it is much appreciated

i`m gutted, i thought it was only me it had happened too,it seems its quite an unusual thing for dwp to do,when is your 4 week dead line?

 

I am sorry to hear about your situation it seems the more benefits you get the more the dwp give problems, I gave up persuing dla I failed twice before but this year they keep sending letter to see if I still want to appeal I rather not I am happy where I am I had my IB medical last month and passed first time couldn't believe it took a while for me to take it all in no fortnightly sign on or medical certificate needed ironic this break is giving me time to sort my illness out little by little but I am getting there.

 

I hope your problem will all sort out soon.

 

Take care

no one from the dwp attended my tribunal, and i didnt know who was on the panel/bench(or whatever you call it)till the day.quite honestly if i felt well enough i would start a petition about the atos medical and send that to downing street but i feel so down about the whole thing,i`v got no fight left in me,never mind soon be christmas,x

 

Don´t give up, I have been fighting the DWP for 4 years now and should hear anyday of the outcome. My case has reached Tribunal, but because of it´s urgency only the Judge will be making a decision and not an actual panel. Please read my thread Disability Living Allowance in Spain if you want to, it´s been a total nightmare and I have wanted to give up so many times, but I know I am in the right and have found the strength from somewhere and could not of carried on without the help of my brillian legal advisor. Good luck x

Received another submission from DWP who have had to get a lawyer to answer my representatives submission. Which is full of absolute rubbish. Submission in response is being prepared by my Mr David R Burrage, nearly 80 pages long where he has identified all the lies etc that the DWP have been putting in their submissions going back to 2007. My case will then go to tribunal again and then my papers will be sent to the Advocate General at the European Court of Justice and also to the Director of Public Prosecutions. There will also be media coverage.

Hello Chloe01,

thanks for replying so quickly. I am very interested in this, as I would also like to sue the DWP in the European Court, or any where for that matter. Their latest [problem] has been to withold publishing information with regard to Upper Tribunal Judge Mesher's request for a 'reference' from the ECJ with regard to the mobility component. They have put off publishing for 14 months, 1 month longer than their time limit (13 months) for lodging an appeal!! I have all Burridge's information from his website, and have just sent a letter to the Appeals Tribunal quoting all the relevant court cases. I have been paid back to (care component) 12/12/07 (the date they received my request for reinstatement) and my appeal is to back date to the time I left England, also I always request the mobility component to be reinstated. I wuld very much like to get in touch with Burridge, could you let him know? I can't contact him through his website, as you know. Could you ask him if it might be possible to do 'a class action suit' against them for all the people they have conned out of their benefit through the ECJ?

Best wishes and good luck. John.
