    • Yes you should take this view, but this is nothing to worry about you will be fine. you have a very well edited WX im sure although I haven't actually looked at it because I can't seem to work out which one is the new one anymore, although I do remember something previously. however if i remember it right its just a lost parcel via packlink and no insurance which frankly is pretty straightforward and should be a copy of farooq v evri. Have I understood the case right? Please tell me if not as there is rather a lot on this forum
    • well in every other thread advocate or not evri always send a cpr27.9 because they never turn up. I don't think we've seen a thread here without one. Maybe @BankFodder can tell me if i've missed one, but all of the ones I can remember there has been a cpr 27.9 notice even when an advocate has attended and from my own knowledge also I've always had CPR 27.9 advocate or not. I dont think there is a single thread on this forum where evri have shown up themselves and similarly I don't think there is a single thread where they dont send notice (aside from this)
    • OK, thanks.  Jake Burgess is well known to us - and well despised. Friday would be great as then there would be the weekend to tweak things. 👍
    • Thanks FTMDave.  VCS's WS was from Jake Burgess.  I will draft my WS and share with copies of court order, and VCS's exhibits asap.  I'm away tomorrow so more likely Friday.  Thanks again for the advice   
    • Thanks. Time to move on this. 1.  You need to tweak the magnificent WS that dx suggested.  Adapt it to your case.  It should take you about half an hour (I recently wrote a WS from scratch during a train journey which wasn't optimum 😂 with lots of cross referencing and it took me an hour an half, you have one already cooked thanks to dx). 2.  We will add bits to ridicule VCS's WS - it's rich that they moan about your defence being standard when their Particulars of Claim are too and also include the rubbish about keeper/driver that has been criticised numerous times by the courts. 3.  Who wrote their WS?  Was it Mohammed Wali or Ambreen Arshad or have they got someone new? 4.  We need to see a good chunk of VCS's exhibits.  I don't get why we have to keep asking you for things rather than them being volunteered.  Isn't it obvious that we can't help you compile a decent WS if we can't see what the other side is arguing?  All their silly signs aren't needed, but any contract with the landowner is important as are all the photos of your vehicle. 5.  You've never shown us the court order which fixes the hearing date.  It should be obvious we need to see what the court has ordered.  This is the second time we've asked. 6.  VCS were using Elms Legal.  Are Elms Legal still involved?

    • 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.

there is also an issue here as to whether there is a binding contract.

 

Was the ebay add an offer? or an invitation to treat?

 

has there been offer and acceptance?

 

Those pleadings are frankly bizzare, have no legal merit and i would say that i would have this case dismissed within 5 minutes if i were the advocate in this case

 

its nonsense full stop

I believe it would be an invitation to treat - Most displays of goods, auctions and e-commerce fall under that heading.

:) well it may well be, but to be honest, this case is sooo poor that the claimant is not going to win full stop

Well I'd go as far as to admit there has been an initial offer - sight unseen. I don't see how acceptance can take place until the money changes hands in any everyday transaction. For example, a shopkeeper can ring through an amount on a till and then still say 'hang on that's wrong'. Once you've paid then your offer was accepted and the deal is done. It's the same for the customer. Even if an amount has been rung through the till a customer is not obliged to take the goods and can withdraw the offer.

 

Do agree that the whole thing is ridiculous. I wonder if the claimant will even turn up.

Its not quite as simple as that, you can accept an offer by conduct, by written correspondance etc, the example you use there is probably not the most ideal one, but quite frankly, this case has no legs at all, depending on the amount in dispute id seek advice from a solicitors and screw him to the floor

Thanks!

 

I wonder what the amount is that the claimant wants to claim for (other than court costs)

 

Acceptance does not require money to change hands. It is merely agreeing to the terms... "I'll sell this to you for £500" "ok then, i'll come and collect it tomorrow." - that would be acceptance.

 

The acceptance must be unconditional though.

 

However, if we say that this is an invitation to treat... it is the claimant that would have had to give acceptance - you made the offer to buy!

this is great feedback and a real confidence boost i hope you are right about this guy not winning, he says on his papers he has submitted to the court he has taken me to court because when i said i would not pay for it i also said even if he took me to court,so thats what he did .nice bloke!

he is claiming the full cost of the caravan plus his court costs

Agreed. I was trying to think of simple everyday transactions between ordinary individuals.

 

What about if I see something on Gumtree or Freeads. I email the seller saying I want to buy the item they are advertising and I'll be over on Friday. Has acceptance taken place at that point?

I would argue no, you have made an offer to buy.

Eh!

 

I dont think he has a chance, even on the chance that the court found against you and said there was a breach... i dont see how or why they would award him the cost of the caravan!

 

The courts aim to place the claimant in the posistion he would be had the contract been fulfilled... he has lost no money (or very little) by you not paying him.

 

Courts can force the contract to go ahead (so force the sale) but i dont see this happening either.

 

Please keep us informed of what happens!

There is a little bit of me hoping he does turn up and brings the caravan with him :)

this is where he will fail.

 

 

There is no entitlement for the cost of the caravan, he still has the van, he has suffered no damage to that extent.

 

the only losses he has are the ebay listing fees and thats providing there is no misrepresentation or negligent mis rep

 

quite frankly this guys screwed.

 

whens the hearing? i may be tempted to get the suit on and come down lol

So when, in an ordinary private transaction has the seller accepted the offer? Up to what point can an offer be withdrawn? I still think that for normal people not involved in complicated corporate dealings nothing is binding until the money is handed over.

Thanks again for all your comments and advice, i will certainly keep you informed of the outcome,i offered this guy his ebay costs when i met him, i even tried £100 compensation in a letter i sent him, all of this info i have given to the court. i can now go armed with some more knowledge and ammunition. anybody who lives near Dartford its Friday 15th 10am.

an offer can be withdrawn until it is accepted

 

OK, that's what it says in the book but in real life it isn't that obvious. At what point, in ordinary everyday life, does a seller have the chance to demand they have accepted the offer and it can't be withdrawn? It isn't when the shopkeeper rings it up on the till and it isn't when the Freeads guy accepts I'm coming over on Friday to buy what he had advertised so when is it?

lol, actually, thats what the LAW says, not just in text books, although my copy of Chitty on Contract does support this view too.

 

The law is about applying the law to the facts of each individual case, so each case is different and needs to be dealt with as such

Ebay provides a system whereby a seller can have his "final value fee" ie Ebay's commission, refunded in the event of a non paying buyer, so even if he (the seller) were claiming this, the buyer could ask what the seller has done to mitigate his loss.

 

The seller hasnt lost anything (other than his listing fee) and he still has his mobile shed.

 

Why on earth does he think a court is going to order someone to buy it?

 

.....and what rubbish POCs.

Please can the OP post up a copy of his defence?

 

This looks like a bunch of codswallop, and I'd want to claim costs if I was the OP. Pretty good chance of success for the OP here!

 

How I wish I had time on my hands and Dartford wasn't so far away from Mancyland! If it wasn't my burpday this Thursday and this wasn't so far away I'd come along for the laugh!
