    • Anyway, I've asked my Booking.com flat-rent-out-bloke what needs to be done on the Booking.com portal to cancel a reservation. I got a late message "I'll let you know tomorrow".
    • I see that at the start of your thread you said they hadn't sent a Letter of Claim.  And in fact in all the uploaded material there is no LoC.  This is great news.  Even were you to lose - you won't - the judge would chop off a chunk of the money for their non-respect of PAPLOC. However, I'm a bit confused as you've named the file name as a SAR.  Are you sure about this?  Did you send any other letters apart from the one dx advised which was a CPR request (not a SAR) to DCBL (not Group Nexus).  I'm not being pernickety, this will be important for your Witness Statement further down the line.
    • I didn’t say it wouldn’t. That is not the issue here. To continue driving after the licence has expired (under s88), the driver must have submitted a “qualifying application”.  An application disclosing a relevant medical condition (of which sleep apnoea is one) is not a “qualifying application”, This means the driver cannot take advantage of s88 and must wait for the DVLA to make its decision before resuming driving.   The driver’s belief is irrelevant. The fact that a licence was eventually granted may mitigate the offence, but does it does not provide a defence.   But this driver didn’t meet the conditions. I explained why in my earlier post. He only meets the conditions if his application does not declare a relevant medical condition. His did.   As I explained, after his birthday he did not hold a licence that could be revoked.   In my view it doesn’t matter what it says. The offence is committed because his application declared a medical condition. Meanwhile his licence expired and s88 is not available to him. The GP letter would form part of the material the DVLA would use to complete their investigations. But until those enquiries are completed he could not drive.   The offence does not carry points or a disqualification (because a licence could have been held by your father). It only carries a fine and the guideline is half a week’s net income. If he pleads guilty that fine will be reduced by a third. He will also pay a surcharge of 40% of that fine. But the big difference is prosecution costs: a guilty plea will see costs of about £90 ordered whilst being convicted following a trial will see costs in the region of £600.

    • 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.

Thanks for the advice guys - I will wait to see if there is any response to the CPR - Ill give it to next Monday and then consider ringing to see what their game is. I am a bit loathe to ring them as I do not trust them - I would prefer to have written evidence of any contact between us.

 

Many thanks,

Hi folks - still nothing from the claimant whatsoever - this will be another week. Should I go for disclosure and strike out if not complied with, or just enter a defence and see what happens?

 

Thanks again for your ongoing help.

Hello Donkey B! I have just this morning received a letter from Drydens...

 

We write in relation to the above matter and further to your recent correspondence.

 

The documentation required by you has been requested from our client and will be forwarded to once we are in receipt.

 

Your etc...

 

Shall I still proceed with the N244 seeing as they haven't complied with the CPR/asking for extra time etc?

 

Many thanks,

 

Angryape

It’s up to them to offer extra time in this instance, IMO, and your choice to accept or refuse.

 

As they have neither complied with CPR, nor offered time, I believe a strike out request would be valid. I doubt it would be successful in full, but if your request is to strike out OR to make ann order for disclosure, then at least they’re against the clock.

 

Their letter effectively admits they have taken legal action based on facts they cannot possibly know to be true, as they did not have the documents to back up their case. If they want to play hard, so can you.

 

There are problems with defences where you have little or no info, and you have to construct them very carefully – see this thread.

Thanks DonkeyB - just read through that thread - think I am in danger of confusing myself with information overload. Would anyone be able to assist in the wording of the request?

 

Many thanks,

Many thanks Andy. So in the boxes on the form - I should be asking for an order to strike out/disclose, and below I will be relying on the evidence as follows....

 

The defendant has no knowledge of this case and has requested copies of the documents listed in the particulars of claim under CPR 31.14 twice over a 3 week period. (Copies of letter and recorded delivery enclosed). On 28th June a letter was received from the claimants solicitors stating that the information has been requested from their clients. This is well outside of the 7 days requested and does not allow the defendant to make a case.

 

Would that be adequate? Although I have read the other threads posted, I am not confident about this part of the process.

 

Many thanks,

Hello again folks. I went to put in the N244 but the court advised me to wait till nearer the last date possible, in case the claimant drops out due to not having the info. The last possible point of filing etc is next Monday. I am going to file the N244 tomorrow. Do I just request a strike out as I they have not asked for extra time and have not disclosed the POC they claim to have? Or do I ask to Strike out OR make an order for disclosure?

 

If the latter was granted I assume there would be extra time?

 

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi folks, just rang up the court helpline to get the fax number to send the N244 and to pay over the phone. The lady on the phone is trying to convince me that I dont need to apply for any orders, just to file my defence and it may not even get to court.

 

Could I have some advice please as Im quite keen to get it all sorted today - I have till 4pm Monday but dont fancy stewing over it all weekend.

 

Many thanks,

AngryApe.

Hi Angry

 

What she states is quite true and is one course of action to be considered,you have requested information (also an extension I presume)

neither have been furnished.You submit a short holding defence to meet the deadline the Claimant then has 28 days to respond.If they still fail to respond the matter is stayed (automatically) How long it remains that way is the Claimants choice but because of the failure to respond within the given time period they then have to make application to lift the stay to proceed and have to provide a reason for non response initially.If they do lift the stay then you will receive a n AQ and the matter will be transfered to your local CC.On completion of the AQ you will have chance to request directions ( again documents) and a Notice of Allocation will sent to your from the Court.This will contain directions (yours and the DJs) on what must happen next, if they fail to follow any of those the claim may well be struck out automatically by the DJ using his own discretion and therefore not cost you a penny nor any need for any applications to be made.

Hi folks, just thought I would give you an update.... good news! The court gave an order for them to disclose within 14 days, the deadline was yesterday. I received a letter from their solicitor saying that the claimant could not obtain any documentation that would enable them to comply with the terms of the order. It requests that the court dismiss this matter with an order for no costs.

 

So as some people have suggested, it appears they didn't have any of the evidence they were relying on in the particulars of claim.

 

I would just like to say thank you to all of you that helped and advised me through this, I wouldn't have known where to start without you!

NO, I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD BE DUE YOUR COSTS! IT IS NOT UP TO THEM TO DECIDE COSTS. HAVE THEY ISSUED A FORMAL NOTICE OF DISCONTINUATION? DID YOU ENTER ANY DEFENCE?

 

So as some people have suggested, it appears they didn't have any of the evidence they were relying on in the particulars of claim.

THAT’S WHY YOU SHOULD CHASE YOUR COSTS.

 

I would just like to say thank you to all of you that helped and advised me through this, I wouldn't have known where to start without you!

Just my thoughts. They deserve a kicking for entering a claim when in possession of zero evidence.
