    • This is the other sign  parking sign 1a.pdf
    • 4 means that they need to name and then tell the people who will be affected that there has been an application made, what the application relates to (specificially "whether it relates to the exercise of the court’s jurisdiction in relation to P’s property and affairs, or P’s personal welfare, or to both) and what this application contains (i.e what order they want made as a result of it) 5 just means that teh court think it is important that the relevant people are notified 7 means that the court need more information to make the application, hence they have then made the order of paragraph 1 which requires the applicant to do more - this means the court can't make a decision with the current information, and need more, hence paragraph one of the order is for the applicant to do more. paragraph 3 of the order gives you the ability to have it set aside, although if it was made in january you are very late. Were you notiifed of the application or not?    
    • These are the photos of the signs. At the entrance there is a 7h free sign. On some bays there is a permit sign.  Also their official website is misleading as it implies all parking is free.  I can't be certain of the exact parking bay I was in that day, and there was no PCN ticket on my car and no other evidence was provided.  parking sign 2.pdf
    • Hi, In my last post I mentioned I had received an email from SS who were asking me to hand over the keys to my mother’s flat so they could pass them to the Law firm who have been appointed court of protection to access, secure and insure my mother’s property.  Feeling this, all quickly getting out of my hands I emailed ss requesting proof of this. I HAVEN’T HEARD BACK FROM SS.  Yesterday, I received an email (with attached court of protection order) from the Law Firm confirming this was correct (please see below a copy of this).  After reading the court of protection order I do have some concerns about it:   (a)   I only found out yesterday, the Law firm had been appointed by the court back in January.  Up until now, I have not received any notification regarding this.  (b)   Section 2   - States I am estranged from my mother.  This is NOT CORRECT    The only reason I stepped back from my mother was to protect myself from the guy (groomer) who had befriended her & was very aggressive towards me & because of my mother’s dementia she had become aggressive also.  I constantly tried to warned SS about this guy's manipulative behaviour towards my mother and his increasing aggressiveness towards me (as mentioned in previous posts).  Each time I was ignored.  Instead, SS encouraged his involvement with my mother – including him in her care plans and mental health assessments.   I was literally pushed out because I feared him and my mother’s increasing aggression towards me. Up until I stepped back, I had always looked after my mother and since her admission to the care home, I visit regularly.   .(c)    Sections -  4, 5 and 7  I am struggling to understand these as I don’t have a legal background.  I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to explain what they mean.  It’s been a horrendous situation where I had to walk away from my mother at her most vulnerable because of; ss (not helping), scammer and groomer. I have no legal background, nor experience in highly manipulative people or an understanding of how the SS system operates, finding myself isolated, scared and powerless to the point I haven’t collected my personal belongings and items for my mother’s room in the care home.  Sadly, the court has only had heard one version of this story SS’s, and based their decision on that. My mother’s situation and the experience I have gone through could happen to anyone who has a vulnerable parent.    If anyone any thoughts on this much appreciated.  Thank you. ______________________________________________________  (Below is the Court of Protection Order)  COURT OF PROTECTION                                                                                                                                                                                   No xxx  MENTAL CAPACITY ACT 2005 In the matter of Name xxx ORDER Made by  Depty District Judge At xxx Made on xxx Issued on 18 January 2024  WHEREAS  1.     xxx Solicitors, Address xxx  ("Applicant”) has applied for an order under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.  2.     The Court notes (my mother) is said to be estranged from all her three children and only one, (me) has been notified.  3.     (Me) was previously appointed as Atorney for Property and Affairs for (my mother).  The Exhibity NAJ at (date) refers to (me) and all replacement Attorneys are now officially standing down.  4.     Pursuant to Rule 9.10 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 and Practice Direction 9B the Applicant 2must seek to identify at least three persons who are likely to have an interest in being notified that an application has been issues.”  The children of (my mother), and any other appointed attorneys are likely to have an interest in the application, because of the nature of relationship to (my mother).  5.     The Court considers that the notification requirements are an important safeguard for the person in respect of whom an order is sought.  6.     The Court notes that it is said that the local authority no longer has access to (my mother’s) Property.  7.     Further information is required for the Court to determine the application.  IT IS ORDERED THAT  Within 28 days of the issue date this order, the Applicant shall file a form COP24 witness statement confirming that the other children of (my mother) and any replacement attorneys have been notified of the application and shall confirm their name, address, and date upon which those persons were notified.  If the Applicant wishes the Court to dispense with any further notification, they should file a COP9 and COP24 explaining, what steps (if any) have been taken to attempt notification and why notification should be dispensed with.   Pending the determination of the application to appoint a deputy for (my mother), the Applicant is authorised to take such steps as are proportionate and necessary to access, secure and insure the house and property of (my mother).   This order was made without a hearing and without notice.  Any person affected by this order may apply within 21 days of the date on which the order was served to have the order set aside or varied pursuant to Rule 13.4 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 (“the Rules”).  Such application must be made on Form COP9 and in accordance with Part 10 Rules.              
    • Unless I've got an incorrect copy of the relevant regulation: The PCN is only deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch "unless the contrary is proved" in which case date of delivery does matter (not just date of posting) and I would like clarification of the required standard of proof. It seems perhaps this hasn't been tested. Since post is now barcoded for the Post Office's own tracking purposes perhaps there is some way I can get that evidence from the Post Office...

    • 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.

Hey All

 

Myself and my sister have just returned from a wonderful 10 nights in an all inclusive resort in Cyprus, we have no complaints with the holiday however its the flight back that we do have issues

please bare with me as it is quite a long post.

 

our original flight was due to depart on Wednesday 7th Sept at 19:00 local time with a pick up time of 15:30, at approx 11am we were contacted by the rep who explained there was currently a 4 hour delay

she arranged with the hotel to keep us there for the 4 extra hours and we were allowed to keep our bands so wasn't worried at all.

a few hours later a check the gatwick departures website to see the status of the flight and see it was 6 hours

we were picked up at around 19:00 and on the way to the airport Thomas cook explained that there was a further delay and we would scheduled to depart at 3:05 am

wasn't too please but sometime these things can't be helped

it was at the airport we realised that there was actually a bigger problem as the reps had no information to give us other than we may not be flying at all, they promised we would eventually get food and drink vouchers and they were trying fo find a status for us

we waited for 2 hours and was then told we were not able to fly and they will put us in a hotel, we never got those vouchers

 

we got to the hotel at around midnight and were told to check in and pop down in the morning for an update - i asked if they were going to give us anything to eat or drink as our last meal was at lunch he said they wasn't able to supply us with anything until breakfast which was at 8:30 the following day.

I need to add here that they put us in the Hilton which on any other occasion you might think was great but as we went all inclusive we had very little money on us and a bottle of water alone was €5

we had no toiletries etc on us as we always give them to other guest when leaving as we have never needed them after.

we were tired and slightly upset (both were due to be back at work the following day) so went to bed

the following morning during breakfast we were told our plane was not fit to fly and they had to hire one from a company called Atreus, the flight would leave Gatwick at 9:15am GMT (11:15 cypriot time) so we were looking at a new 16:40 departure

i started checking Gatwick departures and couldn't see our flight number. when i asked the rep he said the flight number might have changed and would get back to me.

We checked out of the hotel at noon and was taken straight back the airport

checked our luggage in and were supplied with €15 vouchers each

after another 45min delay we eventually boarded the plane at 17:45 and waited to take off….and waited….and waited

 

after the first 45mins of sitting there the pilot explained they was trying to calculate the flight path, he apologised and said we'd be in the air shortly

45mins later he got back on the tannoy…Thomas cook and given Astreus the wrong number of passengers (we were 40 over) now the plane could carry us but wouldn't have enough fuel to take us direct to Gatwick, we would have to refuel in Venice and then on to Gatwick

we waited on the plane for another hour before he told us that he was trying to get a guarantee for Venice that we would be able to refuel and take off within a certain time, if they could not guarantee then he couldn't fly us as it would take him over his legal flying hours - they couldn't..

 

we now had 2 choices

1-get off the plane and see stay another night without a guarantee of flight the next day

2-off load our luggage which would give the pilot enough fuel to fly us direct to Gatwick

 

at this point people were getting angry and upset on the plane, there were a few arguments and a lot of people were shouting and swearing, i just wanted something to happen so we all decided to get the suitcases off and fly

we took off eventually at 21:00 and arrived in Gatwick at 23:30 GMT

once i'd filled in the baggage claim forms we finally got home at 2am

 

now i was having a friend pick us up from Gatwick so every time we had a delay etc i had to call from my mobile to update him, i'm dreading my phone bill!

My sister has just had to go and buy another suitcase as she is away for a wedding this weekend and ours is still in Cyprus

 

so after all that my question is where do i even start complaint / compensation wise? the whole thing was a joke from start to finish,

We've had to both lose a days wages, have had to buy a new case, currently have no idea where our baggage is and although grateful to be home extremely annoyed that we had to go through this.

 

any advice would be appreciated

thank you
