    • Better version attached with the late appeal explained more clearly for the judge. This will sound silly, but I think it would be a good idea to e-mail it to the court and UKPC on Sunday.  It's probably me being daft, but Sunday is still March, and as it's late, sending it in March rather than April will make it sound like it was less late than it really is.  if you get my drift. You can still pop in a paper version on Tuesday if you want. E-mail address for the court: [email protected] And for UKPC: [email protected]   [email protected] Defendant WS.pdf
    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. 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 only contracted 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. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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,really worried about this and hope somebody can advise.

 

Short Version First. is any action against our tenancy invalid if it only has my partners name on it when we have the original which is in both our names.

 

Back in Nov 09 we where issued a notice of seeking possesion because of arrears ,i contacted the council came to an agreement and repaid the arrears as quickly as i could although i was told the notice would still go to court as this was the usual procedure.March this year i was made redundant and the rent was being paid by benefits but due to an oversight on my part this was £10 pounds short of what the rent was so arrears mounted .the long and short of it i messed up a bit and didnt realise .tried to make an agreement with them when i eventually got hold of the person at the couci,l made an agreement, all good except she gave me wrong details for setting up standing order ,next thing i know get a letter saying they are seeking possesion with a court summons so i call them back several times to check whats going on eventually some obnoxious guy tells me she is off ill and wont be back in the near future and i quote "tell it to the judge". i immediately scraped as much money together as i could and payed of as much as possible which brought it down to around £80 (4 weeks ago) and it currently stands at £38 .Today recieved another letter saying they would be seeking an adjournment with liberty to restore .have no idea what this means and was really surprised they where still takeing action as the arrears have been reduced and a constant weekly payment set up ,to be honest i was surprised they took this course of action in the first place .WILTSHIRE COUNCIL WHERE EVERYONE MATTERS ,my arse.

Sorry if its a bit rambly but would appreciate some advise as it almost seems like they are looking for an excuse to evict us we are very quite people, get on with nieghbours ,good kids and we just dont understand if its malicous orthis is what they do to everybody.

This means basically they are dropping the action for now, and will inform the court that things are inorder, but because an agreement went wrong once, they will ask the court for "liberty to restore". This means at any time in the future they can apply to have the matter resurrected. Your best bet now is to get those arrears clear, keep them clear for a few weeks, then apply to the court yourself to have the whole matter set aside.

 

It is important to pay your rent of course, but I can assure you that with a Council tenancy, no judge in this land is going to give the Council outright possession for rent arrears without first having given the tenant the chance to put it right - usually under a Postponed Possession Order or the old Suspended Possession Order.

 

Just get that small amount sorted out and you will be fine.

Attended court and it turns out the council have forged a tenancy agreement with just my partners name on it.the judge added me to the possesion order and charged £100 court fee all over 30 pounds arrears.Can anyone tell me if there is anything i can do to be pain in the neck for the council regarding the tennancy as i feel they have shown a complete lack of understanding and communication regarding this,Surely they have broken the law by offering the forged document in court proceedings.

Ok Simongal. Swallow the debt for now, get it cleared. We'll argue it later if........Have you got a copy of your partner's original tenancy agreement? And you of course have a copy of the supposedly "joint tenancy"? Say nothing at this stage to the Council.

 

Ask your partner to make a SAR request for her entire record. Go through this with a toothcomb and see if there is any clue as to why you are on a joint tenancy.

 

You say partner, so unmarried? Therefore matrimonial law and all that hoohah doesn;t necessarily come into this - I mean for example, if your partner was a sole tenant and you married her then you would automatically gain certain rights under both Housing law and Matrimonail Law. Sort of you become a joint tenant in a way - oh someone else can explain that! IE'; if one of you passed away but the tenancy was only in one name, the remaining spouse would inherit. (succeed).

 

But, what I am trying to get at is this - if your partner wished to live with you but wanted to be sensible and retain the property in her sole name, she has every right to so. If a fake tenancy has been made then whoever did that has taken away rights from her. Likewise yourself, you had no wish to ever be a joint tenant - what if you fell out and your partner didnt pay the rent, keep the property in good repair etc? You are still liable for all of that. So it could be said that whoever has done this has foisted a responsibility on you that you did not request or wish for. A secure Council tenancy is a most valuable thing these days, and losing one is very serious - which is what has technically happened to your partner she now has a joint tenancy she didn't wish to have.

 

So, get that file and keep quiet. If asked why just say because you are entitled to it. When you have established what has happened, you make an official complaint, straight to the Head of the Council (leader whatever his title is). Once the Council put right this mistake, then the court order can be looked at - because you cannot be taken to court and dealt with for something that has nothing whatsoever to do with you legally. And when you get to that stage I am sure some of the legal experts on here will talk you through any court action - my brains are too rusty to remember now!

Jackieandwayne you seem to have misunderstood. The OP is saying they signed for a joint tenancy and have a copy of the agreement to prove this but that the Council have now produced a copy of a tenancy agreement in the partner's name only which is a fraudulent document.

 

Not going to go into the issue around the Court proceedings when the arrears are reducing as this has been sorted at the moment due to the Court's decision. However, if there are any further issues please post back.
