    • Hello, welcome to CAG. I imagine the letter that the security guards talked about will be a letter from a company or lawyers who specialise in trying to extract money from shoplifters. I think Sainsbury's use DWF solicitors, otherwise it could be a company like RLP. It won't be a 'fine', only the police can do that. Look at this as a parallel 'justice' system that doesn't involve the plice. If you read around the forum for other cases of shoplifting, you'll get the idea of how this all works. If you think your behaviour has become compulsive, we suggest having a chat with your GP who should get you help for this. Best, HB

    • Hi all…. i was wondering if someone could help me. I am ashamed I have been caught shoplifting from Sainsbury’s by two undercover security guards who I suspect have been following me for a week now… I have been impulsively shoplifting due to what I think could have become an addiction of some kind. I am ashamed of what I had been doing and I do believe being caught has been for the greater good. i was taken to a room and asked to empty my bag, the guards were slightly rude but I complied with them politely as I know they are just doing their job and I am in the wrong. They retrieved my address, name, birthdate and took a photo of me, they asked me how many times I had shoplifted and I said twice and I didn’t want to be foolish and say just once. They issued me a letter of ban from the store and if I was caught in the store again the police would be called. They told me I would be paying 2x what I had stolen today as the goods had been damage which I am guessing is stole around £65 worth roughly. I did offer to pay for the items I had stolen on the day but they declined. They did not call the police but let me leave after claiming I was a lucky person. They told me to expect a letter in the post and that I “would be smart not to ignore it”  what should I be expecting in the post from them? I am aware from reading a lot online about security costs.. people mentioned to ignore these costs however as I had damaged the labelling on the goods should I still comply and pay the fines ?  kind regards awful shoplifter

    • 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.

Yes Coledog wasn't you the one 2 months ago posting " embarrassed defences everywhere" same one for every thread.I gave you some advice then.

Yes, I did but I know my limitations and was trying to learn, still am. That was for the people with split claims mainly who were similar cases but I was trying to adapt them to the POCs.

 

And I got the sample from a Sticky thread

 

I am happy to look at any approach that helps people deal with the system and it is largely self help as people have to deal with this themselves in the end, we can only guide.

Please support CAG and they will support you.

With respect CD I dont think you are in any position to guide anyone in the Legal Forum with regards to CPR and Court procedures. perhaps a fewmore months in the Debt Collection Forum.

Now lets leave it at that.

Please contribute by all means, and agree to disagree if need be, but please be polite, I am guilty of giving the worng information in the past, but luckily have been corrected on most occasions. It is a constant learning process for all...A forum likes this gives people chances to add to what has been written and if need be give an opinion on why the comment/advise isn't right. Nobody is perfect !!

Here's a little pressie from the Cabot Fan Club that may help you people....Ken Maynard is going to be sooooo pleased to be reading this and it comes with all our love:

 

Subject matter: In House solicitors - Think MORGANS, they are Cabots in-house solicitors

 

 

EU Court rules that in-house lawyers are not covered by legal professional privilege

 

Summary

On 14 September 2010, the European Court of Justice held that, in the field of competition law, internal

company communications with in-house lawyers are not covered by legal professional privilege.

 

Background

The judgment follows a dawn raid by officials from the European Commission and the Office of Fair Trading ("OFT") of Akzo Nobel Chemicals and its subsidiary Akcros Chemical in 2003. The European Commission and the OFT have wide-ranging powers under EU and UK competition law to undertake investigations, raid companies' premises and take copies of documents. During this investigation, a disagreement arose in relation to the application of legal professional privilege to two e-mails with Akzo's in-house lawyer. Akzo Nobel and Akcros challenged these decisions before the EU General Court, which were dismissed by the General Court on 17 September 2007. The firms appealed against that judgment to the Court of Justice. - (The appeal was Dismissed ! LOL)

 

That means anyone being sued by Morgans can get via their SA R all communications between the departments

 

Don't you just love the EU?:lol:

 

Anyone wants some bed time reading - here ya go.. http://www.bailii.org/cgi-bin/markup.cgi?doc=/eu/cases/EUECJ/2010/C55007_O.html&query=title+%28+Akzo+%29+and+title+%28+Nobel+%29+and+title+%28+Chemicals+%29&method=boolean

Okay, have I got this wrong then? - In the field of competition law

 

On 14 September 2010, the European Court of Justice held that, in the field of competition law, internal

company communications with in-house lawyers are not covered by legal professional privilege.

 

Before anyone get's too excited, I'll get this checked out as I don't want to send people on a wild goose chase! What is 'Competition law' by comparison with what we are doing...? why should it be any different?

 

Back soon.....

  • 4 weeks later...

Since my last post on 24 November I have sent the CPR 31.14 request to Morgans and they recieved this on 25th. They have not responded in the time period that I gave them nor have I heard anything further. I feel attack is probably the best form of defence so does anyone know whether I should now proceed with an application to have this claim struck out? If so wha\t is my next step?

Any help will be appreciated.

I have returned my part of the claim to the court stating that Ido not admit the claim and intend to contest it. This was done online within the stiipulated time and I also sent my CPR 31.14 request to Morgans by Recorded Delivery that they signed for on 25 November but they have failed to respond to my request to supply copies of both agreements referred to in their claim . This has obviously well exceeded the 7 day limit and they have not requested more time to supply. I now intend issuing an N244 to have the case struck out. What is your advice please?

I think that you need to ring the court ASAP as you should have submitted a defence, ask them what your optons are. You need a formal reminder to Morgans re: not responding to your request.

Hi Heathrow

 

If you could just refresh were we are, I assume you submitted your defence on-time.Have you received acknowledgment from the Court? Has the Claimant responded? Is the claim stayed?

Hi

Thanks guys. I submitted the documents online to the Northampton clearing centre stating it was my intention to contest the claim. I also sent a request by recorded delivery to Morgans (CPR 31.14) that they received on 25 November. I received an electronic acknowledgement from the court but I have had no response whatsoever thus far from Morgans. Hence my request to know whether I should apply to the court to have the action struck out.

Any advice please.

You need to ring the court and check the date for filing a defence as you need to do this even if it is an 'embarrassed' one. You can also contact the claimants solicitor and ask them to agree an extension if they have not provided the supporting documentation by the required date but you have to make sure you meet the defence deadline.

Please support CAG and they will support you.

Sorry Andyorch do you mean have I applied to the court for a stay (adjournment?) because since I filed my response to the action I have heard nothing more from anyone.

 

No have you submitted the defence as per post number 19 that I amended for you? I know you have Acknowledged Service and your plea was to defend but this is all really pointless if you have not submitted that defence on time. If you did submit on time then refer back to my post number 49.

I would allow a little more time due to to the xmas holidays then check with Northampton if the claim is stayed.If so then you have option to make application to have the claim struck out or request the Court ti issue an order that they respond.Its a catch 22 because they may just set a side your application then respond or they may not, but allow a little more time before making further expense on application.

Thanks Andy. Form N150. I have also received N152 Notice that Defence/Counterclaim has been filed. Is it safe to include a letter to state that the Claimant has failed to provide the documentation to support their claim under CPR31.14 and therefore I believe the case should be struck out for non-compliance?
