      Summons to court for a S87 (1) offence

      By BazzaS · Posted

      (See the link to DVLA’s INF188/6 document I posted above, page 4 as cited) “I have a new medical condition that I have told the DVLA about on my recent application. Can I drive? As soon as the DVLA receives your correct and complete application for a new licence and as long as you meet all the Section 88 criteria, you may drive. It is important that you are satisfied that the medical condition you have declared on your application does not stop you from driving. If you are unsure, check with your doctor or healthcare professional before you make a decision. You can also look up your condition in the ‘Assessing fitness to drive’ guide, which you can find at www.gov.uk/dvla/fitnesstodrive to see whether you meet the medical standards for driving. As this guide is intended for healthcare professionals, it can be complicated. Your doctor or healthcare professional should be able to help you if necessary." It seems that DVLA think that S.88 does apply for applications disclosing a new medical condition after all. Why might this be so, and what of “qualifying application" and "relevant disability"? S. 92(1) imposes on the driver a requirement to disclose a relevant disability. S.92(3) requires the Secretary of State to refuse such an application disclosing a relevant disability ….. EXCEPT S.92(4) requires the Secretary of State to grant such an application if the relevant disability is “adequately controlled”. Hence my belief S.88 can apply for medical conditions (if the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive) as the application remains a qualifying application IF the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive, until DVLA (on behalf of the Secretary of State) say it doesn’t, provided the driver believes they meet the (medical) standard. Additionally, at (or before) June 2013 (as noted in my previous post) the medical standard for fitness to drive for conditions involving excessive daytime sleepiness was changed from “completely controlled” to "adequately controlled".

      Booking.com host cancelled our accommodation - how to get a refund

      Anyway, I've asked my Booking.com flat-rent-out-bloke what needs to be done on the Booking.com portal to cancel a reservation. I got a late message "I'll let you know tomorrow".

      Group Nexus ANPR PCN Claimform - Cannon Lane Retail Park, Tonbridge, TN9

      By FTMDave · Posted

      I see that at the start of your thread you said they hadn't sent a Letter of Claim.  And in fact in all the uploaded material there is no LoC.  This is great news.  Even were you to lose - you won't - the judge would chop off a chunk of the money for their non-respect of PAPLOC. However, I'm a bit confused as you've named the file name as a SAR.  Are you sure about this?  Did you send any other letters apart from the one dx advised which was a CPR request (not a SAR) to DCBL (not Group Nexus).  I'm not being pernickety, this will be important for your Witness Statement further down the line.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Need some urgent advice.

 

My nephew who is a student, started working for a new company, got paid on the first week and has not been paid for 3 weeks.

 

Between him and another guy they look after the store. They sell furniture. They would take orders and the company would deliver and collect payment.

 

They have taken several orders and none have been delivered.

 

Over the past 3 weeks they have been promised wages but not been paid. The guys who hired them has not been seen for 2 weeks, will not answer or return calls.

 

I suspect the company will do a runner. out of three contact numbers they were given 2 have been disconnected.

 

What options do my nephew have.

Do you know the trading title of the business?

How are payments for goods made and to whom ?

You may be able to trace/ contact by sending or taking a letter addressed to them in to their bank and ask for it to be posted to them.

Also where does the stock come from are their suppliers delivery notes/invoices on premises.

is it a sole trader/partnership/Ltd. Co.?

All this may help in tracing the owners.

The centre manager should have a contact address on file.

Don't know

There is nothing in the shop, no stationary, no phone in the shop, just a blank order pad to take customer name and number for deliveries.

This definitley seems like a [problem],personally I would first try a recorded delivery

letter to the home address, and inform the police that you are suspicious of the

way the business is conducted, you could also contact trading standards, with this I would try to contact them direct and not through Consumer Direct as it takes a while to get through if at all.

How did he find the job? If it was through job centre plus they must be told.

this must be reported to the police and trading standards asap apart from your nephews problem members of the public could be paying for goods they will never see.

The only other method is a personal call at the owners address but great care

would be needed take witnesses.

You aren't giving us much to work on here!! A 50 mile trip for £600 doesn't seem extreme.

 

If you want to deal with issue, you will have to take some action, not sit back and wait for it all to fall into place. I would suggest a letter before action (LBA), sent recorded delivery to the home address giving him notice that if payment is not received, county court action will be taken.

How do you know I am sitting back and doing nothing.

I know all about LBA and court action , look at the date I joined, so if you haven't got anything constructive KEEP OFF

I am not getting into a slagging match with anyone on here, I have received and hopefully given good advice.

 

Your answers to questions asked have been short and generally negative and give the other CAGGERS very little to work with. However I will leave you to it, as you clearly know best.

The delivery is supposed to be organised by the HO, but none has been done so far.

 

This was supposed to be a company with a factory in China, head office in Birmingham, branches all over etc.

 

Having done some research, it's like a one man band operating from home and somehow managed to get a pitch in shopping mall.
