    • This is the other sign  parking sign 1a.pdf
    • 4 means that they need to name and then tell the people who will be affected that there has been an application made, what the application relates to (specificially "whether it relates to the exercise of the court’s jurisdiction in relation to P’s property and affairs, or P’s personal welfare, or to both) and what this application contains (i.e what order they want made as a result of it) 5 just means that teh court think it is important that the relevant people are notified 7 means that the court need more information to make the application, hence they have then made the order of paragraph 1 which requires the applicant to do more - this means the court can't make a decision with the current information, and need more, hence paragraph one of the order is for the applicant to do more. paragraph 3 of the order gives you the ability to have it set aside, although if it was made in january you are very late. Were you notiifed of the application or not?    
    • These are the photos of the signs. At the entrance there is a 7h free sign. On some bays there is a permit sign.  Also their official website is misleading as it implies all parking is free.  I can't be certain of the exact parking bay I was in that day, and there was no PCN ticket on my car and no other evidence was provided.  parking sign 2.pdf
    • Hi, In my last post I mentioned I had received an email from SS who were asking me to hand over the keys to my mother’s flat so they could pass them to the Law firm who have been appointed court of protection to access, secure and insure my mother’s property.  Feeling this, all quickly getting out of my hands I emailed ss requesting proof of this. I HAVEN’T HEARD BACK FROM SS.  Yesterday, I received an email (with attached court of protection order) from the Law Firm confirming this was correct (please see below a copy of this).  After reading the court of protection order I do have some concerns about it:   (a)   I only found out yesterday, the Law firm had been appointed by the court back in January.  Up until now, I have not received any notification regarding this.  (b)   Section 2   - States I am estranged from my mother.  This is NOT CORRECT    The only reason I stepped back from my mother was to protect myself from the guy (groomer) who had befriended her & was very aggressive towards me & because of my mother’s dementia she had become aggressive also.  I constantly tried to warned SS about this guy's manipulative behaviour towards my mother and his increasing aggressiveness towards me (as mentioned in previous posts).  Each time I was ignored.  Instead, SS encouraged his involvement with my mother – including him in her care plans and mental health assessments.   I was literally pushed out because I feared him and my mother’s increasing aggression towards me. Up until I stepped back, I had always looked after my mother and since her admission to the care home, I visit regularly.   .(c)    Sections -  4, 5 and 7  I am struggling to understand these as I don’t have a legal background.  I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to explain what they mean.  It’s been a horrendous situation where I had to walk away from my mother at her most vulnerable because of; ss (not helping), scammer and groomer. I have no legal background, nor experience in highly manipulative people or an understanding of how the SS system operates, finding myself isolated, scared and powerless to the point I haven’t collected my personal belongings and items for my mother’s room in the care home.  Sadly, the court has only had heard one version of this story SS’s, and based their decision on that. My mother’s situation and the experience I have gone through could happen to anyone who has a vulnerable parent.    If anyone any thoughts on this much appreciated.  Thank you. ______________________________________________________  (Below is the Court of Protection Order)  COURT OF PROTECTION                                                                                                                                                                                   No xxx  MENTAL CAPACITY ACT 2005 In the matter of Name xxx ORDER Made by  Depty District Judge At xxx Made on xxx Issued on 18 January 2024  WHEREAS  1.     xxx Solicitors, Address xxx  ("Applicant”) has applied for an order under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.  2.     The Court notes (my mother) is said to be estranged from all her three children and only one, (me) has been notified.  3.     (Me) was previously appointed as Atorney for Property and Affairs for (my mother).  The Exhibity NAJ at (date) refers to (me) and all replacement Attorneys are now officially standing down.  4.     Pursuant to Rule 9.10 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 and Practice Direction 9B the Applicant 2must seek to identify at least three persons who are likely to have an interest in being notified that an application has been issues.”  The children of (my mother), and any other appointed attorneys are likely to have an interest in the application, because of the nature of relationship to (my mother).  5.     The Court considers that the notification requirements are an important safeguard for the person in respect of whom an order is sought.  6.     The Court notes that it is said that the local authority no longer has access to (my mother’s) Property.  7.     Further information is required for the Court to determine the application.  IT IS ORDERED THAT  Within 28 days of the issue date this order, the Applicant shall file a form COP24 witness statement confirming that the other children of (my mother) and any replacement attorneys have been notified of the application and shall confirm their name, address, and date upon which those persons were notified.  If the Applicant wishes the Court to dispense with any further notification, they should file a COP9 and COP24 explaining, what steps (if any) have been taken to attempt notification and why notification should be dispensed with.   Pending the determination of the application to appoint a deputy for (my mother), the Applicant is authorised to take such steps as are proportionate and necessary to access, secure and insure the house and property of (my mother).   This order was made without a hearing and without notice.  Any person affected by this order may apply within 21 days of the date on which the order was served to have the order set aside or varied pursuant to Rule 13.4 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 (“the Rules”).  Such application must be made on Form COP9 and in accordance with Part 10 Rules.              
    • Unless I've got an incorrect copy of the relevant regulation: The PCN is only deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch "unless the contrary is proved" in which case date of delivery does matter (not just date of posting) and I would like clarification of the required standard of proof. It seems perhaps this hasn't been tested. Since post is now barcoded for the Post Office's own tracking purposes perhaps there is some way I can get that evidence from the Post Office...

    • 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.

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

and here for more info

any more advice would be greatly appreciated

G&M,

 

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

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

Nothing in this post constitutes "advice" which I may not, in any event, be qualified to provide.

The only interpretation permitted on this post (or any others I may have made) is that this is what I would personally consider doing in the circumstances discussed. Each and every reader of this post or any other I may have made must take responsibility for forming their own view and making their own decision.

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......

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
