    • If that was the reason then that is good news. The whole reason that being able to charge £100 for breaching private car park rules is because the law Lords decided in a celebrated case that the rogues had a legitimate interest in keeping their car park spaces available for all motorists . {parking Eye v Beavis]. However when the business is closed then there is no legitimate interest in keeping spaces free so to charge £100 is a penalty. As such any Court would automatically throw out the case when the penalty charge is accepted.

    • 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 am someone who is totally new to forums and i'm here because i am seeking help. I am sorry in advance for taking your time but i am in desperate need of help.

here's what happened to me.. .

on friday 28th i have mistakenly picked up my girlfriend's student oyester card. i was running late for work. i only realised this when i gt to southfields station that i had her oyester. i decided that it was going to be a 'one-off' and since i was late for work i decided to use it. this was my bigest mistake!! :( what happened next is only predictable. i was stopped by a tfl inspector on my way back from work at west ham station. i explained to him that i took it by mistake.we both have the same oyster wallet. the inspector carried on wrtting and didn't let me explain myself further. he never asked me to sign anything just took my name and address (i gave my mum's address and told him that im looking to move out so it's better for correspondence) and gave me a number to report my gfs card lost. i did ask him about criminal record etc to which he said i wont get one (this was confusing??) but after reading tfl info i realised it is a criminal offence.

 

 

my own registered oyester card was mistakenly left at home. i top up regularly as a 7 day travelcard to travel from zone 1 - 3. the worst thing is i had my card topped up ready to go even on that day. i can show proof that it was topped up regularly through bank statements (even had credit on 28th friday) and i have requested mine and my girlfrend'stravel history (statements) from tfl during the past 8 weeks. this can prove that we have made different journeys over the past 8 weeks or if they can check this over the past months.

 

i am very scared about the criminal record because i work as a teacher and having a criminal conviction would jeoprdize my career. now i do know that i decided to carry on using even after i realised it was my gfs and i have no excuses for this. i was totally wrong to do so. it was a very stupid mistake. i have never commited any offences before and it is my first time. i am awaiting a letter from the prossecution dept. i totally admit it is my own fault and i am willing to pay any costs, fine for my offence, to settle outside court as long as i dont get a criminal record :( is there anyway of settling outside the courts? how do i go about doing it?

 

your help will be greatly appreciated. many many thanks.

read a few of the other threads in this forum

all will become clear

best practice is write and grovel and offer to pay costs etc.

that way you will not get a record

 

no big deal

it was a genuine mistook

im pretty sure ill get first a letter to confirm that it was me who commited the offence, then a letter from prosecution asking for my plea, for which i will say i am guilty, but i dont want to attend court and would like to settle this by paying a fine. the lenghty wait for court hearings would increase the stress and thats the last thing you want when you are a teacher.

i will start writting a letter now. the only thing is i dont have their addresses or contact details so shall i wait for the letter first? in th mean time shall i gather some evidences e.g. bank statements showing weekly payments for my oystercard, journey statement from tfl (which im still wating for, the operator said it would take upto 72 hrs to recieve it), proof that im a teacher etc. what do you think?

thank you SRPO. ill start doing that straight away:). i have found in this forum the contact details of Tim Caig who is the prosecution support manager. according to the thread he is very helpful. I'm thinking of contacting him directly through email first then phone call etc. i might be an unknown case at the moment (no ref number etc.) since it takes time to put together cases .. he would be dealing with 100s of cases at the mo. would you advise me to wait till i recieve the first letter or shall i just start contacting him straight away just giving my name and explaining my situation? he might also wonder where i got his details from..

 

thanks

Have you recieved a letter from TFL yet? if yes, what did they say?

 

I am in a similar situation, wanted more info.

 

Thanks

 

Hi Mattrix, start a new thread in a similar vein, your first post should give as much detail of journies made, questioning, letters received etc, you should get some more detailed advice!
