    • I have received an email in the last 10 minutes 4) The Claimant's witness is currently out of the office on annual leave and this was not relayed to DWF Law until after the event which has caused a further unfortunate delay. 5) The Court has directed parties to file and serve any evidence upon which they intend to rely not later than 14- days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 6 June 2024. Regrettably, the Claimant will have insufficient time to finalise their witness evidence and supporting exhibits as directed. We therefore respectfully apply to extend the time for filing/serving evidence so that the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely by filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 13 June 2024  It also includes a "Notice of Hearing" stating that the application hearing will take place on 13th June at 10.00am.  Confused as to whether I need to attend this ?
    • I've received this notice to keeper. I work for the NHS and was delayed due to patient care. I park here regular and and have never had any issues. I've looked at the evidence on the portal and other than showing that i entered at 12.59.33 and departed at 17:14:14 it doesn't state how long i overstayed for. I paid for 4 hours parking over the phone which i wont have done till i got parked but as its over the phone i have no receipt or record but it is not possible for me to have been in excess of 15mins from the photos alone but I'm unsure having read other threads whether grace periods are 10 or 15 minutes. I havent appealed yet but and was about to but in appealing i'm showing i'm the driver which i gather is something you state we must never do. I don't like confrontation but £60 seems extortionate. Hope you can help. 🤞 1 Date of the infringement 30th May 2024 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 30th May 2024 [scan up BOTH SIDES as ONE PDF- follow the upload guide] please LEAVE IN LOCATION AND ALL DATES/TIMES/£'s 3 Date received 5th June 2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?

    • It never seems to amaze me how the chuckleheads think that No Stopping can ever offer a contract when it is prohibitory. In any case you did not accept the contract by entering the land, you entered the land to get to the airport for goodness sake. In most car parks there is a Consideration period that allows motorists to decide whether they want to stay in the car park . Here on a road, there is no consideration period and whether the motorist finds the terms agreeable or not even assuming that they are able to understand that they are being hoodwinked into believing they are being offered a  contract they cannot turn back. They have a plane to catch and even if they did turn back because they didn't accept the  No Stopping term of   the so called contract they would still have had to stop to turn around. Plus there is a question of Frustration of Contract. You had to stop at a pedestrian crossing .    
    • Just a couple paragraphs their WS that it might be useful to refer to specifically in the OP's WS... Para 6 A contract was formed with "the driver" of the vehicle. Para 8 "The driver" accepted the contract. (The "driver" is not named, or identified anywhere in the WS). Para 7 WHY would there ever be a "no stopping" restriction in a car park? (In Para 10, they specify that it is a "car park"). Para 11 "The Defendant" became liable." Again, they have not shown that the Defendant was "the driver", simply the keeper. Para 20 "It is a matter of agreement"? Not really sure what they're trying to say here...
    • Thank you for relying so quickly! That is what I had concluded was the reality of the situation.. I'm still waiting for the call within my time slot.. I will try to fill this thread with more info, find original letters and show the docs of the pack I was sent, a pack with no real covering letter to show what it was in response to or from whom..

    • 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 gang,

 

I was dropping off my cousin today at his flat in the city centre and was away from my bike at his front door for a couple of minutes while it was parked outside on the street. His flat is up two flights of stairs above a shop on the street in question and we were carrying heavy rucksacks containing his washing. It took us a couple of minutes to climb the stairs to his flat and then drop off his washing. When you go upstairs, the front door to the hallway closes automatically behind you. When I finished saying goodbye I went back down the stairs and opened the door and found I had been given a council PCN for code 02

 

"parked or loading/unloading in a restricted street while waiting and loading/unloading restrictions are in force", the observed time was less than 45 seconds (13:26:59 to 13:27:43). I was probably away from the bike for about 5-6 minutes tops.

 

The bike wasnt actually on the road, it was parked on the pavement next to a set of bollards that seperate off the street from a nearby pedestrian area (in such a way as to not obstruct people on the pavement). The only signs I could find to do with parking was a pedestrian area sign opposite which marked the pedestrian area and its end. The road has double yellow lines.

 

On the other side of the bollards the road is a pay and display area which I believe comes under the city inner controlled zone parking rules which do not allow motorcycles to park in pay and display areas.

 

I think this is a long shot but does anybody think I have a chance of appealing it bearing in mind I wasnt actually on the road itself?

Hi,

 

The fact that the bike was parked 'off the road' makes no difference. The pavement will be covered by the same restriction. In fact you could have got a PCN for that o it's own!

 

Having said that, the lines seem a tad worn to me and the signs seem to also be passed their sell by date so i'm not sure that there is any mileage in persuing that line of defence. But if you were within the pedestrian area, then the lines would not be necessary so long as the signs were correctly positioned at the ends of the area.

 

No doubt other caggers will comment so don't take my opinion as gospel yet!

After 6pm the bollards go down and vehicles often park up in the pedestrian area, I have also seen deliveries taking place during the day to the shops along the road. I have parked there several times before in the same place and never had any bother. The pay and display area also loses its restrictions after 6pm when you can park free till 8am.

I have found this site which looks helpful

and it refers to some appeals on loading and unloading

I'm looking at it now and wondering if dropping off your cousins washing

counts as loading and unloading.....?

Loading and unloading on a motorbike? I doubt it!

 

If you were parked during the hours of the restriction, then what is your argument? Personally, I'm surprised you didn't get done for parking on the pavement. Use Photobucket.com to re-post your pics so we can take a closer look but I don't hold out much hope to be honest.

Not too sure about the courier thing, been reading about bike couriers getting tickets all over london despite several rulings both for and against in various bits, same also applies to pavement parking...

 

see here

http://www.motorcycleparking.com/parking_tips.shtml

 

"Non commercial vehicles

If your vehicle is not a commercial or collection vehicle (including multi-drop and courier), then the loading / unloading must be necessary not convenient. It would be deemed necessary if you are loading / unloading heavy or bulky items or if you have a large number of items. However there is no exemption for shopping (unless the goods have been pre-purchased - which may allow you to be exempt).

 

The vehicle must be moved immediately the loading / unloading has finished."

 

also here

http://www.motorcycleparking.com/footway_pavement_parking.shtml

 

and here for more info

http://www.parkingticket.co.uk/sh.html

 

any more advice would be greatly appreciated

G&M,

 

Should the legislation not have been updated now that "Parking Attendants" exist no more? :D

********************************************

I receive an unwieldy number of private messages. I am happy to respond to messages posted on open forum but am unable to respond to private messages, seeking advice, when the substance of that message should properly be on the open forum.

Many thanks for your assistance and understanding on this.

Hmmm bit confused here? the wording is such that surely that legislation only refers to TfL and Mr Johnson's little empire, how about outside the great metrolop*ss....?

 

You are correct it only applies to London, however unless any damage was done to the vehicle there is nothing to stop anyone moving a covering and its also illegal to park a vehicle on the road without displaying its VRM.

Well gang, managed to get it disallowed on the loading and and unloading rule.

 

Thanks for the advice once again G&M Well done.

 

Sailor Sam, Re your 9th July advice, thats twice now your advice has been a bit too pessimistic, maybe time to take a leaf out of G&M's book and dig a bit deeper in the rule book, remember......

 

Nil Carborundum.

Maybe if you didn't park in dodgy ways and on pavements then you would'nt need to come here for advice in the first place. My post (#2) gave you a closing comment 'don't take my opinion as gospel yet!' So your comment is un-called for.

 

G & M obviously found you a loop hole which you successfuly exploited so my guess is that you were lucky on this occasion. Whether you actually deserved to be 'let off' is a different matter.

Sailor Sam, nobody was let off, the loading exemption is there for that reason.

 

The ticketing officer either didnt know the rules himself or issued the ticket thinking I'd be stupid enough to just pay up and not to research the charge on a website like this.

 

As for your comment in the original post, well I didnt ask for your opinion, I asked for advice, and my own comment was supposed to be taken as a lighthearted riposte against taking too pessimistic a view of things, however I'm not going to get in a flame war over it, the matter stands as it is and the ticket was challenged on advice from other contributors who appear to be a bit more knowledgable, whether I deserved to be "let off" is again your opinion and is not needed.

 

Once again, thanks to those who did a bit of digging for me
