    • 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.

I think this was the worst day of my life.

 

Had the solicitor present but they had a Barrister to represent them (actually a very nice guy)

 

My case has been struck out! ordered to pay costs of £4558.00 in the form of judgement.

I feel sick to my stomach

Reasons for this is there is clearly no breach of contract and my claim has no basis in law and would have no prospect of success

I have 14 days to appeal to the judge personally in writing if this is declined I can appeal to a high court judge within 21 days

 

Need help and lots of it what shall I do Zoot

I'm so sorry to hear what has happened - personally I would appeal this decision and also seek advice from zoot and others as to what to do next.

 

Can you PM me with what was put forward by the defence to make the judge award to them?

 

Whilst it may be a small sting in the tail, it won't stop us from continuing the fight!

Jamorgan,

 

I am so sorry to hear this, I feel sick to the stomach for you. I am actually gobsmacked.

 

Chin up, wait for some advice and appeal.

 

(I can't believe they got a Barrister in, what do they charge? £500 to £1000 per hour? Bas***ds).

This is an example of what everyone dreads and I feel for you. On the positive side, this is absolutely fundamental to everyone at CAG and so you can be sure that everyone will be concerned (not only out of sympathy for you of coarse but also in light of the bigger picture). It may be hard to see the big picture at the moment, but it is clear to everyone who has rehearsed these arguments that you have a strong (at least answerable) position and so it should be heard

 

All the best

OMG Morgy, I am so sorry. I don't understand how they arrived at clearly no breach of contract, or the costs.

 

I hope Zoot can let you know on what grounds you can appeal. In the mean time, try and keep your chin up.

Very sorry to hear this.

 

How about the arguement that perhaps he is the only judge in the country who didn't agree that this are unlawful, charges.

Can't believe this and I feel gutted for you Morgy. On the plus side, you've got 2 weeks to make your appeal and there are some extremely well-informed people here who can help you put this together. You've not lost this one yet. Was the barrister exceptionally clever? Could you post details of what the legal arguments were? Try to post as much as you can remember. Could there be a transcript of the hearing? Can't quite believe the judge said clearly no breach or that your case has no basis in law. Another judge on another day and it may have been different. Sounds like he made a mistake. Don't despair, I'm sure Zoot and a few others will have something to say about this.

Hi

 

Like everyone else, we're really really sorry to hear what has happened. You must feel absolutely gutted, to say the least.

 

Some detail as to what grounds the judge thought there was no case to answer would be useful. No doubt Zoot will assist your appeal(s) and put our minds back on track. At the moment, we feel nervous about pursuing action. We need a morale boost with a quick come-back - maybe a successfull appeal. Fingers crossed for that.

 

Chin up! We've been there, believe us . . .

Just on this one point alone... you can apply for a transcript but there is a charge and you'll need to 'employ' a company to do the work for you-it would be somewhere in the region of £50 - £100 depending upon the length of the hearing (in minutes).

 

This is, of course, presuming that the hearing was tape recorded....

 

If not, you would need to apply to the court to have copies of notes made by the Judge and for a written reason for the Judgment etc.

Just posting some bits that I'm remembering.

 

He struck it out on the grounds of Law and that it was not a penalty as there was no breach of contract. He said we could come out of the agreemant at anytime and it was our choice to do so as we excersied a right not broke a contract.

 

The Judge agreed with the Barristar who had arguments relevant to the past cases i.e Bridge v Campbell emphasising the fact that these were minority decisions.

 

I argued the point that we were offered one product only,and nothing else and if we continued with the three year term we could have faced loosing everthing due to the continuing rises and monthly repayments through years 2&3, he replied I still had the option of

1.not taking out the mortgage and

2. to come out at anytime and pay the ERC

I just went through several para's from my statement that i could rely on and he was unsimpathetic, he was completley on there side.

He also as we signed the contract we new exactly what it entailed.
