    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.

    • 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 have been on long term sick due to an accident at work.

I want to leave due to health reasons.

I've checked my contract of employment and it does not mention anything about termination of employment.

 

I have worked for them since July2010.

Is 1 weeks notice sufficient?

Am I entitled to accrued holiday pay?

I am on ESA as I've been off work for more than 28 weeks.

 

Thanks in advance for any help

Yes 1 week is sufficient, and you are entitled to be paid for any untaken accrued holiday.

 

Thanks for the info mariefab.

 

Is it acceptable to send my resignation via email?

It should be acceptable ( but I'd send a recorded delivery letter too as confirmation).

 

In case you don't already know, you continued to accrue payable holiday entitlement for the whole of the period that you've been off sick and you are entitled to be paid your normally weekly wage for your 1 week notice.

Thanks mariefab.

do holidays accrue differently for different employers or is there a standard eg 1.5 days per month?

Am I entitled to the 1 weeks notice at normal pay even if I'm not receiving any payments from my employer due to being on Employment Support Allowance?

If your contract/statement of particulars/company handbook/or any other relevant document doesn't state your holiday entitlement; you are entitled to at least the statutory minimum.

This is 5.6 weeks per year including bank holidays.

 

Yes, you are entitled to be paid for 1 weeks notice. See s.87(2) and either s.88(1)(b) or s.89(3)(a) depending on whether, or not, you had 'normal working hours' below.

Accident at work????? Resigning voluntarily may not be the best option for you.

 

Can you explain what happened regarding the accident, what your long term problem is and whether you have a solicitor on to it.

 

There are other considerations regarding Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit and registering the injury as a work place accident.

 

More information please.

hi papasmurf,

 

I am leaving the uk in just over 1 week so think resigning probably is the best thing for me.

 

I was working in a customers house. I stepped over some lino offcuts left in a doorway. As i stepped over them (right foot 1st) I caught my right foot against a box. After stepping over the lino you needed to turn left to enter the kitchen. as i didnt know my right foot was against the box i turned my body whereby my right foot stayed where it was. The was a loud popping noise (like bubblewrap being screwed up). i fell to the floor n my right knee swelled up.

 

Turns out i damaged the cartilidge in my knee n had to have an op called a microfracture proceedure. Knee is very painful and I take co codamol everyday to help.

I have been getting some money through works accident insurance.

 

I do not have a claim against them and do not have a solicitor.

Would there be grounds for a claim seeing as they have been paying me insurance?

 

My accident happened in December 2010 and i'm still off sick

My opinions are my own and not those of anyone else :D

I would imagine it was the owners of the property who put both the lino and the box there.

 

No I have not been in touch with a solicitor. Do you think it's be a good idea?

would I be able to claim even though I'm leaving the uk?

It is difficult to get a full picture on a forum.

 

If it was the owner's box and lino, the chances are you have a claim against the owners insurance company.

 

Yes it is a good idea to speak to a solicitor specialising in Personal Injury claims.

 

Yes you can still claim if leaving the uk.

 

How long are you off for? The point being that every week's wages lost (insurance payments are NOT wages) can be reclaimed + interest. Future losses too are claimable.... so that its why I say resigning may not be the best option for you, it limits potential compensation.
