    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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

What is the law regarding a Bailiff who either climbs over a garden fence or enters via the back gate (doesn't get into the house btw) and gets bitten by "very nice friendly" Dobermann dogs guarding the property.

 

Do the poor dogs have to go up to the intruder and ask "Are you Mr nice Bailiff" before they do what most dogs will do -- protect their turf.

 

These dogs are in a PRIVATE place so by law I don't have to keep them indoors and they are NO danger to the public.

 

If the Bailiff gets bitten I would still be within my rights to refuse him entry into the house as he could then say "he's gained admittance".

 

If he needs treatment he can call on HIS mobile phone.

 

Any Bailiff reading this - DON'T EVEN THINK of coming anywhere near my place.

 

The dogs HATE you.

 

Cheers

I had wondered this myself.

 

We have a large dog, he is incredibly friendly however he wouldn't take too kindly to someone leaping over our fence :p

 

Since we had the Bailiffs letter through the door in December I have put a sign on our front door to show that a large dog lives here and also a "beware dog running free" sign on the gate.

 

Mr Bailiff can now not say he hasnt been warned.

 

My other question would be - what if the dog doesnt bite the Bailiff but the bailiff let's him out of the garden (accidentally or otherwise). My dog is a very much loved pet, if he came to any harm could I hold the Bailiff accountable?

do you have a sign up saying 'beware of the dog' or something similar?

 

Hi there

I'd imagine he'd hear the Growling long before he got over the Fence - but I do have a sign both on the front door / gate and the garden gate.

 

They don't mind the Postman however.

 

Cheers

They sound well trained Jimbo.

 

From a legal position, no sign is required if the dogs are in a secure privately owned garden.

The bailiff has entered at his own risk without invitation, similar if he was to enter your house, finding the door ajar and then fall down the trap door to the cellar. You would not be required to post a sign 'beware, I'm in the cellar and the door is open'

 

His own silly fault, which forms part of the risk of the job. It may of course be worthy to note that however fun it may seem to lock the trap door after him and screwing it shut, may consitute false imprisonment/kidnap.

About 15 months ago there was a report about just this situation.

It was so funny that I still burst into laughter just thinking about it.

 

Must see if I can find that thread ...

I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.

You can also ding my gong if you prefer. :)

Hi there

I did think of making a sign saying

"K9 contact inevitably occurs on this property".

 

Is that "PC enough" for some of our more stupid Councils.

 

(OT BTW but I saw in the paper a Local Council was allowing TAXI DRIVER licence applications to be obtained and submitted IN BRAILLE :cool::cool:).

 

Shows what an utterly absurd Nation we have become - what with FEDUDAL BALIFF's etc whilst Bank bosses get MILLIONS for screwing up the whole economy.

 

Cheers

I'm sure that you CAN be prosecuted and held liable if you DO display a sign as it is your acknowledgment that your dog COULD be dangerous.

 

I was given this advice by the police when someone put their hand through our gate to open it and the dog jumped up and 'scratched' their hand.

 

I would remove any such signs.

If anyone's worried about the wording of a sign than simply word it 'Be aware of the dog'. With so many people having allergies it seems a sensible enough statement...

Jimbo, I'm reminded of a doberman/collie cross I had. Great guard dog and companion. She did have a habit of not minding people in the house and being made a fuss of. But the minute they got up to leave she'd go for them. Literally. Had to take her out the room before anyone could leave!

Use the doberman photo sign saying "I live here". Many moons ago I used to breed and show boxers and later ran the Boxer Rescue for 25 years, I was "ticked off" for displaying Beware of Dog sign by LA and Police but was advised by the latter the sign I speak of is perfectly legal!!

I have a ***** living here sign on the front door.

 

My sign on the gate says CAUTION dog running free. I thought it was a good one because Im not saying the dog is dangerous, Im just saying that a dog lives here.

I was advised by police that My "Beware of the dog", and later my "Beware of the DogS"signeage were to be placed by way of a warning to any possible trespassers of the existence of dogs, not an advisory of their temperament.

 

When Married, My three dogs were all bark and no bite if someone entered in our presence and through the front door, the welcome one got was overwhelming, but very friendly, anyone attending in any other way

and my dogs took on a pack mentality and acted accordingly as they protected their family and territory.
