    • The Contract itself The airport is actually owned by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan. There should be an authority from them for Bristol airport group  to sign on their behalf. Without it the contract is invalid. The contract has so many  clauses redacted that it is questionable as to its fairness with regard to the Defendants ability to receive a fair trial. In the case of WH Holding Ltd, West Ham United Football Club Ltd -v- E20 Stadium LLP [2018],  In reaching its decision, the Court gave a clear warning to parties involved in litigation: ‘given the difficulties and suspicions to which extensive redaction inevitably gives rise, parties who decide to adopt such an appropriate in disclosure must take enhanced care to ensure that such redactions are accurately made, and must be prepared to suffer costs consequences if they are not’. The contract is also invalid as the signatories are required to have their signatures co-signed by independent witnesses. There is obviously a question of the date of the signatures not being signed until 16 days after the start of the contract. There is a question too about the photographs. They are supposed to be contemporaneous not taken several months before when the signage may have been different or have moved or damaged since then. The Defendant respectfully asks the Court therefore to treat the contract as invalid or void. With no contract there can be no breach. Indeed even were the contract regarded as valid there would be no breach It is hard to understand why this case was brought to Court as there appears to be no reasonable cause to apply to the DVLA.............
    • Danny - point taken about the blue paragraphs.  Including them doesn't harm your case in any way.  It makes no odds.  It's just that over the years we've had judges often remarking on how concise & clear Caggers' WSs have been compared to the Encyclopaedia Britannica-length rubbish that the PPCs send, so I always have a slight preference to cut out anything necessary. Don't send off the WS straight away .. you have plenty of time ... and let's just say that LFI is the Contract King so give him a couple of days to look through it with a fine-tooth comb.
    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.

    • 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,

 

I have done it! After what seems like a long time I have finally filed for bankruptcy at Belfast High Court today.

 

The whole thing wasn’t too bad, I first went to the solicitor this morning to get the affidavit sworn then I went online and paid the bankruptcy fee, which at the moment is £345 due to go up on the 6th of April to £450, I printed my receipt and went off to Belfast.

Finding the right building wasn’t too bad, I had an idea of where to go, once inside it took a bit of running about to find the right office.

Strange thing was when I found the correct office the woman looked though my paper work and said everything was fine but said that I had to pay for the court fee’s at the front desk. She didn’t stamp or sign anything, I wondered what the point was in going up to the bankruptcy office in the first place, I could of paid as soon as went through the door!

Anyway, went back down to the reception area and handed in my forms and paid the court fee’s which current are £115, don’t know if this is going up.

I was told by the CAB that I need 5 copies of the petition (6.30) and three copies of the statement of affairs (6.31), thing is when I went to file they took all of the petition copies, stamped them and give me one back, but they didn’t need any other copies of the SOA only the original.

 

Anyway, I now have a date to go back on in a few weeks, I will update you all on how it goes! Hopefully the weather will be better then, it was pouring rain in Belfast today!

Good luck rapterman. I had the same bother trying to find the right office!

 

You will find the master very pleasant, talking to her was just like chatting to the security person at the front door!

 

Let us know how you get on.

Yeah, everything is sign posted but its all in some strange legal language!

 

Where did you hand in your forms? Was it at the BR office or at the reception near the security area? (Dam metal detectors didn't like me today!):D

I handed mine in at some office upstairs. I didn't have to pay the court fee as I'm unemployed. They just took the 1 copy of each form I had and said they'd ring me with a date. Got the call about 4 days before the hearing!

Well I was at Belfast High Court today for my bankruptcy hearing, like most people have said before it was very easy.

I went in a bit early so I had to wait around, better to be early than late!

Went through the security at the court and then to the front reception, I asked were room 1.21 was and was told it was Master Kelly’s room and was given directions to get there, of course I ended up taking the scenic route around the court but it wasn’t that hard to find.

I found a bunch of people waiting around and they were called in one at a time, then it was my turn to go in. The office is just that, an office, a normal looking room not some big court room or anything. Master Kelly was very pleasant, she first asked me if I had filed myself, if I owned any property and if I had obtained legal advice before filing.

I told her I had filed myself, had no property and had spoken to the CAB, she then said she had signed the bankruptcy application and all my debts were now cleared, she then give me a piece of paper with my case number on it and told me that if any creditors called to tell them I’m bankrupt and give them the case number.

She told me I will receive a letter from the official receiver and a phone call within the next two weeks.

That was it, I was in the room no longer than about three minutes! Very quick.

 

I will update the thread after my phone call with the OR.

 

Thanks to everyone on the forum, especially Socktug, for all of the advice given to me over the last few months. :)

Well, today I just got some paperwork from the OR. Dam they work fast don’t they?

 

Nothing too complicated, one thing they are asking me for is three months of bank statements. Now I have requested a copy of this months statement from the bank and I can download the other two months, the question is, are download copies accepted?

 

Cheers!

That is fast! Faster than mine anyway lol.

 

I'd imagine the downloaded copies should be fine. There will be a number on your paperwork which should be a direct line to the person dealing with your case. Give them a ring and double check if you like. If the person is anything like the bloke dealing with mine, you'll find he is very helpful and decent!

Update:

 

No call from the OR yet, had a few calls from my creditors and told them of my BR, give them the details of the BR and who the OR is.

I have now got a letter from one of my creditors asking for my "Bankruptcy Paperwork".

What paper work are they referring to exactly?

I thought that the OR would be dealing with these people from now on?

Hiya rapterman, I'd say you are safe to ignore the creditor and just wait it out till the OR does his stuff, it's not like the creditor can take you to court or threaten you anymore! If you really want to, you could ring the insolvency service in Fermanagh House and ask their advice.
