    • The Contract itself The airport is actually owned by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan. There should be an authority from them for Bristol airport group  to sign on their behalf. Without it the contract is invalid. The contract has so many  clauses redacted that it is questionable as to its fairness with regard to the Defendants ability to receive a fair trial. In the case of WH Holding Ltd, West Ham United Football Club Ltd -v- E20 Stadium LLP [2018],  In reaching its decision, the Court gave a clear warning to parties involved in litigation: ‘given the difficulties and suspicions to which extensive redaction inevitably gives rise, parties who decide to adopt such an appropriate in disclosure must take enhanced care to ensure that such redactions are accurately made, and must be prepared to suffer costs consequences if they are not’. The contract is also invalid as the signatories are required to have their signatures co-signed by independent witnesses. There is obviously a question of the date of the signatures not being signed until 16 days after the start of the contract. There is a question too about the photographs. They are supposed to be contemporaneous not taken several months before when the signage may have been different or have moved or damaged since then. The Defendant respectfully asks the Court therefore to treat the contract as invalid or void. With no contract there can be no breach. Indeed even were the contract regarded as valid there would be no breach It is hard to understand why this case was brought to Court as there appears to be no reasonable cause to apply to the DVLA.............

    • 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.

I was wondering if anyone might be able to advise me on the following :

 

- Best address/person to direct a letter of complaint to ? I've got the Warrington head office address and the "enquiries" email address, but I'm wondering if I might get more traction sending this to the CEO or at least a named individual ?

 

- If there is any particular consumer act that relates to the supply of goods in the wrong colour ? Essentially (to cut a very long story short), after months of bensons shipping broken bed parts, incorrect bed parts etc by the time we got the correct parts they have changed manufacturers and the white bed that we purchased is now cream ? I'm not if this is classed as "not fit for purpose" as per the Supply of goods and services act, but it would be nice to place some sort of reference in my letter to show that I have done my due diligence.

 

I can't begin to describe how frustrating I have found my experience with these guys. We now have a bed that is different to that which we saw in the shop (and consequently doesn't match the bedroom furniture) and the customer centre call centre is beyond useless.

Hi There

 

I had a similar problem - well in the fact I had a problem with the same supplier. We ordered and paid for a bed in January, we needed to replace our kingsize bed and decided the sales were the time to do it. We picked our bed in store, and ordered it, were given a delivery date and told we would need to have removed the old bed ourselves. So, original delivery date was approaching, we were contacted and told that unfortunatly they couldnt meet this but would be able to deliver on such and such a date instead. So we went forward with that date (and were given some "shopping vouchers" for the delay). 2nd delivery date arrives, so we break up the old bed (one of those divan sort), and wait...........

 

and wait .............

 

 

 

and wait............

 

 

towards the end of the day i start worrying so i "ring" the number i had, to be told that our bed isnt even out for delivery as it hasnt arrived from the supplier yet. I get annoyed, and ask them why we were NOT informed when we were when they were going to miss the first delivery date.

 

All the first person i spoke to was interested in was selling me a mattress as i "had not ordered one with the bed"

 

4 WEEKS later, and the bed finally arrives, I've been sleeping on the floor on the mattress, and no one seemed to care. I contacted the local store that the order was made at, who advised me to use their address and do a complaint letter that they would send to head office. We finally get a reply saying sorry etc, and the local store (who were completely sympathetic and couldnt get over the HO attitude), although they couldnt offer any monetary compensation did offer us a "linen" set for our trouble. We picked out one and they gave us that

The item is not as described. You bought a white bed, but that isn't what you have received.
