    • I see that at the start of your thread you said they hadn't sent a Letter of Claim.  And in fact in all the uploaded material there is no LoC.  This is great news.  Even were you to lose - you won't - the judge would chop off a chunk of the money for their non-respect of PAPLOC. However, I'm a bit confused as you've named the file name as a SAR.  Are you sure about this?  Did you send any other letters apart from the one dx advised which was a CPR request (not a SAR) to DCBL (not Group Nexus).  I'm not being pernickety, this will be important for your Witness Statement further down the line.
    • I didn’t say it wouldn’t. That is not the issue here. To continue driving after the licence has expired (under s88), the driver must have submitted a “qualifying application”.  An application disclosing a relevant medical condition (of which sleep apnoea is one) is not a “qualifying application”, This means the driver cannot take advantage of s88 and must wait for the DVLA to make its decision before resuming driving. The driver’s belief is irrelevant. The fact that a licence was eventually granted may mitigate the offence, but  does it does not provide a defence. But this driver didn’t meet the conditions. I explained why in my earlier post. He only meets the conditions if his application does not declare a relevant medical condition. His did. As I explained, after his birthday he did not hold a licence that could be revoked. In my view it doesn’t matter what it says. The offence is committed because his application declared a medical condition. Meanwhile his licence expired and s88 is not available to him. The GP letter would form part of the material the DVLA would use to complete their investigations. But until those enquiries are completed he could not drive. The offence does not carry points or a disqualification (because a licence could have been held by your father). It only carries a fine and the guideline is half a week’s net income. If he pleads guilty that fine will be reduced by a third. He will also pay a surcharge of 40% of that fine. But the big difference is prosecution costs: a guilty plea will see costs of about £90 ordered whilst being convicted following a trial will see costs in the region of £600.

    • 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 all

 

As requested the poc form from county court.

Sorry i have had to insert the picture into a pdf due to the scan size.

Hope you are able to open ok.

 

Thanks for all your replies so far.

 

EEkk !..Is that it ?. Just the one page ?

 

Surely he should of at least mentioned the 'alleged' losses he has encoutered or mention some case law to back up his point.

 

Is he really dumb enough to gamble £60 on this !?

classe- you do realise that even though the claim is without merit, you will need to enter a defence, dont you?

 

Otherwise you will lose by default.

 

You cant just ignore this.

noomill060,

 

If you read the thread, you will see that the OP did file a defence, there is a hearing. classe hasn't posted the defence up, but has said that one was filed.

Now I have seen the actual claim, its is flawed. Ebay is NOT an auction as such, contrary to popular belief. Sales are NOT legaly binding, contrary to popular belief and if an item is not as described, you do NOT have to purchase.

 

Make sure you write back to Coco the clown and withdraw your offer of compensation. Unless coco turns up at the court with the shed in question, the judge will not be able to see the condition. I recently agreed to buy a car based on the description and photos. The car was a wreck and I refused to buy. The seller threatened me with court, so I billed him for my petrrol and time. He went quiet.

 

This moron needs to get out more. He is basing his claim on the basis that he offered you a shed at a certain price and you accepted to pay that price. However, payment is always subject to goods being as described. They weren't so no payment.

 

It willl be thrown out.

hi all,i will try to give a brief outline of my defence submitted to the court on my response pack.i claimed breach of contract due to description misrepresentation [as suggested by a legal helpline] claiming the advert was misleading as fixtures and fittings were missing ie cupboards and other furniture items including kitchen items [this is a folding caravan]. also that it was in poor condition and had more damage than shown in the pictures or that was mentioned in the advert, also that it was possibly unroadworthy.

i have since sent to the court my defence pack containing a statement of what happened on the day, a receipt from a campsite for the night of collection [proves intent to buy], a manufacturers inventory of what should have been in the caravan, a copy of the advert my seller answered on ebay as he only bought it himself 1 month previous to selling it again, this advert shows he was told the items were missing, i also have an email from ebay to a third party about my case, this says they think the seller should not have taken such strong action but used their resolution process.

i have an email from ebay saying they do not class themselves as a traditional auction house only a meeting place for buyers and sellers.

his disclosure to me is only that i did not contact him for any info, that i sent him a message on ebay saying i would buy it, left a message on his answer phone to the same effect, and that since i said to him in the heat of the moment i would not pay for it even if he took me to court he decided to do just that.

oh also giving his good rating as a member of ebay.

Hi all l am back and i LOST!!!!!!!!!

The judge was very sympathetic to my case but in his summing up he said l had not presented enough proof for misrepresentation.

The outcome was purely decided on offer and acceptance.I tried to claim a vexatious case but to no avail.

The decision was i must buy the caravan giving the seller his full asking price plus his court costs.

To say l am sick is an understatement.

I will now be resigning from ebay although not directly there fault they could have offered more support.

Thanks for all your input and advice.

I am sure that you can appeal. I think the same thing happened to the person to whom my earleir links refer. He won on appeal. As eBay is not a proper auction house I do not understand how the judge could force you to buy the caravan especially as it should be on the same basis as buying from an advert in a local newspaper.

What evidence did you give showing the caravan was not as described?

 

Appeals on the small claims track are only allowed if there was a fault in the law or serious irregularity in the proceedings.

 

 

Usually you would ask for permission to appeal at the hearing... which i don't think you have?

 

If you did not, there is a form to fill out to request permission to appeal. I would recommend you seek legal advice from someone before going ahead with this step however.

Not sure you have legs here. There was an offer, and acceptance, so there was a contract. I am surprised that the Dj ordered specific performance, I would have thought that the losses should have been the difference in the selling cost you agreed and the cost he actually managed to sell it for, or in the absence of a sale the next bid. It does seem that there has been a failure to mitigate his losses.

 

You have argued that there was a breach of contract on the grounds of misrep, the burden of proof is on you. The judge has held that there was no misrep. That seems to be why you lost. It also seems that you might have actually admitted that there was a contract at some point.

 

I think I'd echo War's advice above. Tart it up, wait for a sunny day (and better economic climate) and relist.

Hi ,having now slept on this i suppose, i did not provide enough hard evidence to support my case, i provided loads of reasons why i should not have to buy the caravan but i did not have the opportunity to take pictures to show the condition of it.

I argued the seller did not follow court procedure and brought a vexatious case but the judgement went purely on offer and acceptance.

I can`t help feeling i did not do enough or that the judge did not know enough about ebays auction status, but i have to live with the decision and get on with my life.

Thanks for all your support you have been a great help.

All the very best to you all for 2010.
