    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.

    • 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.

The court confirmed Cobbetts' Application and fee has arrived and thinks the hearing will be in August. Apparently (allegedly?), I'll be notified by the Court next week.

Thats why you need to check normally the AN comes from the Court with the Orders attached and time frame.They may be trying to short change you and hope you submit your WS too late.

Andy, hi, I'm in a mess on another thread 'Court Hearing 9/06/10 - Egg/Cabot/morgan v me'.

 

My solicitors dumped me only a few days ago and I'm really in schtuck - i have THREE hearings coming up - the first two with Cabot.

 

I think I somehow need to ask for a postponement but I'm not sure how best to approach this.

 

Why does this stuff always happen on a Friday????

 

Hope you're well! MXX

Hi Andy,

 

Always so great to see a post from you!!

 

The solicitors had four claims of mine last year - they ran them past their barristers and said they'd take them on (something to do with insurance, etc.). All v pleasant and positive. The Claims were then stayed pending the outcome of the test cases. Anyway, the solicitor and I were in touch - he seemed v confident and v relaxed about the situation. Bullish, actually.

 

When I pointed out a BIG anomaly on an Amex claim, he volunteered to write a letter to Amex solicitors and blow them out of the water (never did).

 

Suddenly, my files were returned to me this week, no phone call, just an email saying my prospects didn't look good, couldn't get a barrister with insurance, maybe I'd like to pay or have legal insurance. He'd help out in the 'background'. Also, he suggested coming to a payment arrangement with the creditors (knowing full well how utterly broke I am). He's never returned my call or replied to my email.

 

I was/am stunned. And now facing two fast track hearings unprepared.

 

Anyway, I guess it's a waste of time to dwell on what happened.....but it was a shock, as we seemed to have a good relationship (and, a LOT of the work had been done , e.g., Defences filed, when his firm came on board).

 

Meanwhile, what to do? Ask for a postponement? Is that even a possibility?

And, the DJ seems to really have it in for me......

Hi Martel ok deep breath and prioritise.Were are you up to ie Disclosure/WS When is the hearing?I think the fact and the manner in which they have left you high and dry is good enough reason for "them" to submit an AN (far better coming from a firm of Sols as they have to state the reason for vacate)

I have not read the thread in question but what are chances of success?

An AN can be submitted (subject to time frame) to vacate and can be done without an hearing ,so will only cost £45.

Ok! First of all, the solicitors were no win/no fee - BUT we never had a signed agreement. I have various emails and correspondence but nothing formalised (I foolishly believed we didn't need anything like that).

 

The First Hearing is this Weds., 9/6 - Cabot/Egg/Morgan's

 

The Second Hearing is 14/6 - Cabot/Amberloans/Morgan's (I haven't posted a thread on this yet)

 

I would like to think that the Solicitors are morally (ha!) obligated to file the AN for both these hearings but, despite their promise to 'help out in the background', they won't communicate with me and, technically, l have 48 hours to get the AN in. And, don't forget, the DJ seems to have a personal vendetta against me.

 

I filed a Defence but not a WS. Morgan's is up to speed on everything.

 

Chances of success? Hard to tell......the more I look into Egg, the more little potholes I'm noticing.....but does it add up to success? Can't answer that.

 

My Defence and all the Morgan's stuff (WS etc.) are on my thread.

 

HUGE thanks!!!

Hello Martel,

 

I have not read this particular thread all the way from the begining just yet, but based on what you have said here on this post, there is a contract between you and those solicitors.

 

You should bring a serious complaint against them.

 

Kind Regards

Hi Andy,

 

Thanks for all your help yesterday - just wanted to let you know that I'm the case here and should have a WS by tomorrow, to send to Morgan's and Court on Monday. Am getting some solid advice here. Will get a letter from Sols, confirming they've dumped me, etc.

 

Anyway, would love to know what you think of the result - as ever, enormous thanks for all your advice and support.

 

Best,

Hi Martel,

 

Hope you are getting sorted for the hearings. Seems you are getting plenty of good help.

 

Subbing to this thread with great interest. My fight is with Cobbetts. Waiting for allocation to track at the mo. I had to vacate my last attempt to have their claim struck out. They came up with 'legible' docs at the last moment :(!

 

Their last threatogram was to say that they may apply to have my defence struck out! Deja vu! So that's why I'm subbing!

 

Good luck. Keep up the good work.

Hi Andy,

 

Disaster in court today as DJ refused my application to adjourn (Sols had refused to consent unless I paid their day's fee) because my former sols hadn't registered as my reps at court. Said adjournment was possible if I paid their legal fees. More anon, am holding fire as I have another Cabot case looming on Monday (filed app for that, too, but believe it will fall at the same hurdle). Have asked ex sols for assistance but am not holding my breath.

 

Sorry to eat into your valuable time, but any chance you could look at my other thread 'Another Court Hearing 14/06/10? I'd so like to tell you more about today but I seem to be V popular w/guests (it was v. evident from sols today that they're monitoring this site).

 

Any ideas on postponement would be helpful!!

 

Hope you're well....and as ever many thanks!

Hi Andy,

 

Well.....today I rec'd an Notice of Claimants Application - a 30 minute hearing is scheduled in August.

 

The usual reasons:

 

1. The Claimant relies on the contents of the attached Rply to Defence dated XXXXXX in support of the application (NB, THERE IS NOTHING ATTCHED)

 

' The Defendant's Defence be struck out and there be a Judgment for the Claimantn pursuat to CPR 3.4 (2)(a) the Claimant respectfully submits that the Defendant's Defence discloses no reaasonable grounds for defending the Claim abd that the Defendant's Defecne be dismissed and there by Judgment for the Claimant against the Defendant pursuant to CPR 24.2(a)(ii) and (b) as the Defendant has no real prospect of successfully defending the Claim and there is no other compeling reason why the case should be disposed of at trial'

 

........The Defendant's attention is drawn to CPR 24.5 (1) which provides that if the respondent to an application for Summary Judgment wishes to rely on written evidence at the hearing, they must:

 

(a) file the witness evidence; and

(b) serve copies on every other party to the application, at least 7 days before the summary Judgement hearing

 

 

 

Why do I ALWAYS get this stuff on a FRIDAY???

 

Oh, and my application for adjournment of the Cabot on Monday hearing has been......yes, denied! Any help on that thread would be gratefully rec'd!!

Hi Andy,

Sink Farcical tried that with me, basically if the judge thinks there is any reason that you can defend at all no summary judgement. For example if you had submitted no defence and not turned up to the hearing they would probably get a SJ. A good one would be that you dispute the Claimant's amount. Was the hearing in response to the AQ's ?

 

It appears to be a standard thing every Claimant tries on.

I hope I'm not teaching granny to suck eggs.

 

But always remember the burden of proof is on the Claimant not the Defendant.

 

For example if the Claimant says you owe us £1.99, they have to prove why you owe them £1.99. If they say it's because you had an account they have to prove you had an account such as statement or your application and prove why you owe them £1.99.

Hi Andy,

 

just checking in - should I be in touch with Cobbetts to let them know no defence was enclosed?

 

Have had a terrible week of losing 2 Cabot claims - now thinking over N460s.

 

The same DJ is assigned to all my cases - v. tough so I want to be as prepared as poss for this one.

 

Sorry to bother you....but am I overlooking anything?

 

Many thanks - hope you're well,

Hoping someone comes along soon with some advice. As it's a SJ hearing, I am hoping I can prove it's at the very least worthy of a hearing....but I want to avoid getting snarled up and defeated by the pedantic expectations of the court, as I did twice this week.

Do you dispute the outstanding balance in any way?

 

If so have you looked into S140

 

Bank Charges Court Guide: New legal arguments to take on the banks...

 

Do you question the way they defaulted you? Did they use 76(1) & 98(1) have a read up on 76(6) and 98(6).

 

 

Did you have Advantage Gold did you request it or was it applied without your knowledge?
