    • 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 there, just some info for tomorrow:

 

You should arrive at the court in plenty of time. If there are any free legal representatives there, approach them and ask for their advice. They can accompany you into the hearing if you wish. Sometimes the representative for the other side will ask to speak to you, it is up to you whether you do or not. If you do, and you feel intimidated at any time, just end the conversation by saying you would rather wait for the judge to decide.

The hearing will take place in a private room with just the judge, you and a representative from the other side. It is usually conducted around a table, like a meeting. The public are not admitted. The judge will know that you are nervous and they are usually very good at guiding you through the process. If you have to address the judge it should be Sir or Madam – and don't interrupt them!. The whole procedure should take no more than 5 or 10 minutes.

 

 

Any questions, just shout.

Thanks for the advice for tommorow, god my stomach is churning.

If the rep from the other side tries to speak to us and I agree, are there things I should be carefull of? what might they be (am I looking for problems here) should I just let it take its cause and hope the judge goes in my favour..or is that without doubt? that he will .

Sorry to bleat on about this but it is last minute nerves, oh and on my budget sheet should I make sure that all I have left is what I am offering for the arrears, and I have rad the norgan case which is interesting, but if the judge asks me about it do I rattle a load of nonsense to him or is there a description I could refer to (laymens terms)

 

Thank you

Regards..Mr Worried :)

Hi there, it's perfectly normal to be nervous, after all you don't go to court every day do you - but it won't be anywhere near as bad as you imagine - honest.

 

If the rep from the other side asks to speak to you, they will probably just want to know what you are offering. Sometimes they are quite helpful and will tell you that they won't oppose your offer. However, sometimes it's a cocky just-qualified youngster - but I wouldn't worry about that, judged usually put them right in their place ! If you feel uncomfortable talking to them, just politely end the conversation and say you'll wait for the judge to decide.

 

Re the Norgan case - the judge is VERY unlikely to question you in any depth about it. If he/she asks if you understand it you just need to say you understand that it means courts have the power to order payment over a period of time which can be as long as the life of the mortgage if they feel it necessary.

 

Stay positive - you will be OK. What time is the hearing?

Thanks for your replies late yesterday and early today.

 

I am at court in South Sheilds Tyne and Wear (Market Place) at 2pm.

 

I am keen to get this over with and save my home, however slightly nervous I just hope I dont go to pieces in the room, and that I protect my partner and our kids.

 

I have just looked at my kids as they are still in bed asleep, and I shed a tear wondering if their nice house etc will still be theres when they return from school later today...( a little negative I know).

 

Thank you for all your help over the last few days, and you will be the first to know the outcome.

 

Thanks

Regards..Mr Worried :)
