    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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 have lived in my council for just over 12 months, so am only just out of the probationary period. I reported my partner living with me around 2 months ago. Hes got an ongoing court case in quite a serious fraud investigation. This case has been made public and the media have splashed my adress over the internet. I understand many of you will be frowning upon this, as he has already made his bed, but i also live with my two very young children and am worried for their safety. I emailed he council about this today and was weary about giving my name, but had an email back to say without any details they couldnt help at all. So I emailed them back with my name and adress. I am now worried that they could possibly evict me for 'blacklisting' their property...if you could put it like that. I didnt tell them the adress was public, i just said it was made known to everyone involved in the case. Also, he is definately going to prison for what he has done and I am scared that I will be left in the house with my children, with anybody knowing my adress. Was hoping they could move me before he goes to trial next month, so I can start afresh. I would be very grateful if anybody has any suggestions as to what they could do, as Im worried they can fast-track an eviction for maybe, criminal offences happening in their property???? What happened was before christmas last year, but police have been surveilling him since before christmas and have found him at this adress. He has court papers to prove it was never anywhere near this adress, he wasnt registered here til 2 months ago. I just dont know what rights they have, and I'm quite worried for me and my children, as we have nowhere else to go. =(

Hi, im really sorry this post is irrellevant to any of this but I have no idea what I am doing on this website and cant seem to start a new post.

Councils can seek to evict over illegal activity but this is when the activity has been proven to have taken place in the house. It's unlikely that they will do anything until they know the result of his court case and may not do anything at all. They can't evict because your address has been in the papers, etc.

 

You are the tenant so they really would need to prove that if any illegal activity took place in the property you knew about it and allowed it to happen or were involved in the fraud.

 

Very good idea to speak to Shelter. Think about what you know:

 

was he living at the property when the fraud was carried out or just visiting/staying over every so often as partners do?

is there any connection between the fraud and your address?

is there any suggestion in the prosecution's case that you were involved or knew what was going on?

 

Think about these things so that when you speak to Shelter you can fully explain the situation.

 

Councils can move people to another address if they are suffering from harassment, etc and it's felt that a move will resolve the situation. If it is agreed on these grounds a move will happen quickly and if there is not a suitable property available then the family is usually moved into temporary accommodation until something suitable is available.

 

However, there would need to be harassment taking place. They will not move you because you are afraid there might be.
