    • Daft question - but you filed the defence on-line on MCOL as dx indicated, right?
    • We looked up the e-mail address so communications would be in writing.  If you do stuff on the phone the other party can just deny the contents of the conversation.  They can't deny what's written in an e-mail. So time to sort Pete out.  Check the following for accuracy and change anything I've got wrong.  Then e-mail Pete this evening.  I was thinking of threatening the pub with legal action but let's initially be nice.   Dear Pete, Re: PCN no.XXXXX, claim form no.XXXXX on 23 July 2022 I was a customer at your pub and I attach proof of purchase. I was picking up my cousin Ms XXXXX and her family as she was working as a cook with you at the time.  I entered the pub through the back door, went to the bar, and ordered a drink and a meal.  At no point did any bar staff alert me that I needed to add my registration number or did I see any signs advising me to do so.  I then took a seat outside in a small seated area so I could chat to my cousin while waiting for her to finish work.  We were joined by the management of the pub and bar staff during my time waiting  I was shocked a few days later when I received a demand for £100 from Civil Enforcement Ltd.  i contacted the pub and was told "don't worry, it's not enforceable". Well, that information turned out to be nonsense because I have now received a county court claim form from CEL. I contacted the pub again on XXXXX and was extremely disappointed to be told "there's nothing we can do". Of course there is something you can do.  You are the organ grinder.  You called CEL in.  You can call your dogs off.  Your pub has absolutely superb reviews on Google Maps regarding the way in which you treat guests.  Do you really think customers should be dragged to court?  I'm sure you don't. I am therefore requesting that you intervene and instruct CEL to cease court action. Yours, XXXXX

    • 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.

a real record-breaker

 

500-1

1st three England batsmen all scored centuries

Highest partnership on the Gabba ground

 

 

and generally, I would say, it was a winning draw for England, they should take more positives out of the match than the Aussies

Freezing in the depths of winter and following the cricket.

 

Is it just me or is there something not quite right about this.:wacko:

I see the 'weak link' was at it again though. I'm enjoying this ashes series. Been a cricket fan for as long as I can remember and I can easily recall what's happened to us at the hands of the Aussies over the last 25 years or so. It's good to see the boot on the other foot for a change. I really like the look of this England team, especially with Strauss as Captain. The backup bowlers aren't bad either - made very light work of Australia A.

 

The only problem I've got with this series is that I keep waking up in the wee small hours thinking 'I wonder what the score is' I was up at 2.15 this morning listening to TMS. It's not good for me but I can't help myself.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

Never been a fan of Test Cricket (maybe that's because I always presumed England would get beat), but watched the highlights on ITV4 last night. Glad I did now, and am getting stuck right into it. If England continue to play cricket better than the fotball team can play football. I might just have to switch my favourite sport. Still can't beat Horse Racing or Formula 1 though. I'd watch them two all day long.:razz:

 

 

If all else fails, kick them where it hurts and SOD'EM;)

I'm not a fan of XFactor, but from the few glimpses I've caught of it, that bloke Wagner sings better than England play football.

 

Best quote of the day on TMS yesterday came from Vic Marks while Cook and Trott were batting: "They (Australia) bought Doherty into the side to get Pietersen out, but at the moment they can't get him in!".

Cricket is great when you have Botham like players, but watching Boycott is like watching paint dry.

 

He's been retired for quite a while now Rebel.

Boycott is one of those 'love him or hate him' figures. I like him personally, but he is very strident and I can understand quite easily how he can get on people's nerves. At least he's played cricket at the highest level and been very successful at it. You can't say the same about Christopher Martin-Jenkins unfortunately. I like sports commentators to be knowledgeable in a 'been there, done that' kind of way.
