    • 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.

Just advice on what I have to do sorry I thought I`d clearly stated what i wanted I filed N1 for no sars they came when I filed N1 rang court to let them know asked them if I could still claim some or all the scheduled costs as they did not comply till the N1 was filed, I heard nothing from court but then a defence came from MBNA in which they say they have complied yet only this past week MBNA have sent some more papers

 

I was told I had to fill in a AQ I got help with that I sent that back to court I was advised to ask for a month to negotiate

 

I am in the dark as to what I am now supposed to bedoing? all I want is my costs the sars as been complied with

 

Another poster said I could file a N244? can anyone advise what to do as I am totally in the dark what is expected of me don`t understand any of this and what is meant to happen next I thought when i was told to write in to request my costs a Judge would say yes or no and that would be a end to it now a defence as come and a Aq and I want to get off this roller coaster

1. Are you sure that you have everything from MBNA now?

 

2. Did you ask for your costs in your POC?

 

If the answer to both questions is yes, I suggest that you write to MBNA and tell them that if they pay your costs because you had to take out a court claim for failure to comply with your original SAR, then you will discontinue the claim.

If you didn't have to pay to submit your N1 or AQ, what were the costs and can you prove them?

 

I haven't read your thread but I've seen people who have fought much more complicated cases in court claim this kind of amount for wasted costs.

Maybe prove isn't the right word. You can claim reasonable costs. Was all of the research for non-compliance with a SAR? That sounds like about 20 hours.

 

If you're satisfied that's reasonable then fair enough, but I'd think carefully about if a judge will agree.

I`m down stairs on my lap top I may have got the research thing wrong will look in morning but got my advice off cag so hope it`s not wrong as I have had no end of conflicting advice on here never know which is ok, what in your opinion is reasonable as I`d be damned if I know what is I had paper/ink will look tomorrow morning as my office upstairs and I don`t want to disturb my son and hubbie son just back from Thailand hese done in after being stuck there

There is lots of advice on CAG Laura, but at the end of the day you have to check it all out and decide what is right for you.

 

I can't say how long it took you to find the POC for non compliance, fill in the form, take it to the court, fares, parking or whatever, but how much paper and ink did you need? If it was a later stage in a complicated claim and you used a couple of printer cartridges and a ream or two of paper to produce a massive court bundle I could understand that.

 

The thing is, if you ask for too much I can well imagine MBNA refusing, so you would need to apply to the court and hope a judge agreed with you and not them.

 

I suggest that you review your schedule when you have a chance just to be on the safe side.

I looked at a lot of others scheduled costs and took bits of theirs and advice of other cag members some others were £500 that I saw with the lack of response on cag sometimes people make wrong descisions I didn`t even put down the cost of writing letters at that

i appreciate your reasoning but i think (IMO) in real life- this is a relatively simple application to make and i doubt that you would get much more than the allocation fee back in such circumstances

 

given that you didnt pay an allocation fee - i fear that you would be wasting your time

 

but my opinion is open to be corrected of course

It really does get you down I have follwed so much advice on here looked at so many threads and I have incorrectly put down too much on schedule of costs, I didn`t pay any court costs but I have been down to the court twice I have typed up letters and have had my time wasted for nothing?

 

These establishments know how to play it and can do no wrong if I messed them about you can bet I`d be paying for it

 

I`m open to sound advice on what i should do now as I be damned if I know be great if you ever got 2 people on the site to agree with same thing I can`t do right for doing wrong based on quite a few people giving incorrect advice so much advice is nowhere near accurate I`m so unsure who knows what anymore, I`ve been grateful for quite a bit of help I have had especially as it comes free but it would be nice to know that it is good advice it seems to be at the time to later when you try to use it other cag memebrs pick huge wholes in it

|i think everyone gives what they believe to be good advice- you have to choose what seems reasonable to you -as normally- (despite decisions going the wrong way sometimes) judges DO take the common sense approach.

 

What appears sensible to you will probably also appear sensible to a judge.

 

when looking at posts there are some who base their advice on how they would LIKE the world to be (nothing wrong with that) - and there are some who give their advice based on what is actually happening "on the ground"

 

for what it's worth- not being legally qualified- i try to imagine what i would think/do in a particular case if i were the judge- and advise accordingly

 

clearly those that are qualified and working in court day in day out will have a much better knowledge of what is going on- but their advice will come from the Real world not the hypothetical one!

 

hope that helps

Hi Laura,

 

Looking in as requested on your Citi thread but not sure I can add anything useful to what has been said already.

 

This whole business is not a precise science and it's down to you to look at any opinions given, then make you're own decisions, as Caro said above.

 

Even if you paid full whack to have a solicitor advise you on what is reasonable, it is still only opinion and subject to a judge's discretion.

 

Your £250 estimate is not outrageous but you should now decide on a precise figure to claim with a schedule to back it up. If MBNA refuse to settle your costs, you have something more concrete to take back into court.

We could do with some help from you

Thanks Slick I`m going to have to be careful about what advice I take trouble is it`s not always that simple and when you don`t know what to do you get desperate and are grateful for any advice in the end problem is like you say it`s not always good advice so many posts go unanswered I wish I knew more as I didn`t rely on people so much but I find it difficult to digest all I read and abbreviations do me as I bet it does many newcomers eg cca, sars etc

Try further contact with MBNA by email confirming:-

 

1. The court put a Stay until 10th May.

2. Your costs in the sum of £xxx which you want paid as per your letter of xxdate, to which they've not replied.

3. That you'll seek these costs at court and draw the judges attention to MBNA's failure to communicate.

 

It is, of course, your prerogative as to whether you pursue the issue of costs further in court, or let the matter drop.

Wrote to MBNA and emailed them last week reminding them that I have tried to negotiate a settlement to my costs they have not responded, it`s not very good is it I expected a offer of something if not all of my scheduled costs, it`s going to be tricky if I get a court date soon as tumbled yesterday and broke my leg I`m housebound for the time being and reliant on others till the near future

I am sure I read somewhere in the past a figure of £90 was acceptable for time spent reading regulations and preparing paperwork, + any other out of pocket costs, i.e. travel, postage (recorded delivery of course), travel expenses also loss of earnings to go to court etc etc, just a few comments do not know if any help to you??? hourly rate of £9.75 pr hr.

 

Hope your your leg repairs quickly.
