    • 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.

    • Please provide advice on the following situation: I rented out my property to four students for 16 months until March 2024. Initially, the property was in very good condition, but now it needs extensive renovation. This includes redoing the bathroom, replacing the kitchen, removing wallpaper, and redecorating due to significant mould growth. The tenants also left their furniture on the grass, which is owned by the local authority. As a landlord, I've met all legal requirements. It seems the damage was caused by poor ventilation—windows were always closed, and heating wasn't used. There was also a bathroom leak fixed by reapplying silicone. I tried to claim insurance, but it was denied, citing tenant behaviour as the cause by looking at the photos, which isn't covered. The deposit barely covers the repair costs, or else I'll have to pursue money claims, which I've never done before and am unsure about its legal complications or costs. Any thoughts on this?

    • 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.

Just though I'd ask whether anyone knows who I complain to about NHS Direct and the Emergency Services ambulance call centre.

 

A quick rundown of what happened. At 3.30am on Tuesday morning my wife woke up with what she thought were stomach pains caused by my cooking! She said she felt bloated and a bit sick, but still went into work on the Tuesday. She felt like she was burning up all day and several of her colleagues in the office also mentioned it, but she soldiered on and did a full day. When she got in the pain just started to escalate and she by 8pm was literally screaming in pain. For her this is unusual as she has a high pain threshold and she said the pain in her abdomen was 25 on a level of 1 -10. I immediately suspected appendicitis as it was on the right hand side so rang NHS Direct. Their attitude was appalling. All they seemed to be concerned with was whether she had any of the classic signs of a heart attack or stroke, and said as she hadn't been sick or felt nauseous it was 'unlikely to be appendicitis'. If it got worse then I was to call them back, but otherwise wait for a nurse to call us. All the time my partner is screaming in agony.

 

Within 10 minutes I had to ring NHS Direct back up and asked to speak to someone immediately, or to get permission to call for an ambulance. They said that we'd have to wait for a nurse to call us first, and not being happy about this I decided to call emergency services. The time now is about 9pm. I called emergency services and got put through to the ambulance call centre. Their response was they'd also get a nurse to call back. At 9.30pm a nurse eventually called and, after briefly speaking to my partner, said they'd see if there was an 'emergency medical practitioner' (whatever this is - I don't know) in the area and if not they'd send an ambulance. The ambulance didn't turn up until 10.45pm and we weren't told anything if we tried to follow it up by calling again. When she eventually got to hospital she was diagnosed with appendicitis with minor complications, and she had it sorted on Thursday evening and got back home tonight. To give you an idea of how severe the pain was though, she was given 30 milligrams of morphine over the course of 5 hours and it didn't even touch the pain.

 

I can't fault the paramedics or the hospital she was sent to. They've been great and really looked after her, but my issue is with NHS Direct and the ambulance call centre. I've always been told that appendicitis should be treated seriously as if the appendix ruptures it can be fatal, and having had several members of my family having appendicitis I know for a fact that they were always dealt with quickly.

 

So can someone tell me how to make a formal complaint to these people (we're covered by Nottingham Ambulance Service)? I'm not looking for any compensation, merely an admission they might have messed up this time and an apology to my wife. Almost 3 hours for an ambulance for a person who was obviously not putting it on and getting worse by the minute is unacceptable. I know they'll come back with the whole thing about the ambulance service being abused etc, but even a nurse I spoke to said off-the-record that she thought the wait was completely unacceptable.

 

Any help, as always, is greatly appreciated.

I was very concerned to read your experiences regarding your wife and NHS Direct - sadly, I have heard similar stories and it seems that NHS Direct's remit is limited to heart attacks and strokes despite there being many other serious conditions that could also take a life within a short time if professional help is not sought. Your wife could have been suffering from a bowel obstruction which,if not treated, could have dire consequences. Perhaps NHS Direct have to follow 'set scripts' which, of course, cannot cover all eventualities, hence your wife's experience. I would not bother with NHS Direct in cases of such extreme pain - 999 and ambulance is a better option or else telephone your GP surgery for advice/out-of-hours telephone number. Above all, do not waste time with NHS Direct - precious time could be lost whilst they 'faff about' with nurses etc etc calling back 'sometime, whenever'. My experience??? I suffered a sudden bowel obstruction having previous been fit and well.....within hours I had had most of my colon removed (gangrenous) and awoke in intensive care. I had been within hours of death - Fortunately my husband had called an 'on-call' GP who arranged pain relief and ambulance. PLEASE....no one waste time with NHS Direct in similar situations - get immediate help and possibly save a life. I am glad that your wife is now on the road to recovery and hope that you get some explanations for your experience with NHS Direct
