    • 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.

Hi,

 

My Currys Essential diswasher stopped working on Boxing day, (it is about 7 months old) so i rang up Currys as soon as they were open and they sent an engineer round this morning.

 

He fiddled about with it and got it working again, but in doing so made a large rip in my lino. There was already a small hole there, but he has made it 10 times as big.

 

Also, the diswasher has now started leaking and buzzing, which it wasnt doing before.

 

I phoned currys and they have said i need to go into a curry store to report the ripped lino??? and they are getting the engineer to come back out to me again, but they havent given me a date, they just said the engineer would be contacting me.

 

Where do i stand on this one?

Guest Paul - CurrysPCWorld

thanks for taking the time to get in contact with us. I am sorry for my late reply, I have been out of the office during the festive period. I am sorry to hear that we have sent round one of our dedicated engineers and they have damaged your flooring and also not resolved this issue that you have with your appliance. If you send a letter with a quotation of how much it will cost to repair (if possible), or replace the lino to us we will be able to look into this for you. I am sorry to say that we would be unable to confirm the write off or exchange of the appliance though as we would need to get another engineer to confirm that the unit has not been repaired correctly before we authorise the exchange. Please PM or post up if there is anything further that I can do for you.Kind Regards, PaulThe KNOWHOW Team.

nat - if the dishwasher is leaking you may want to wait before sending the lino estimate.

 

You may as well send estimates for all the damage in one go, and water damage can work out expensive to fix, especially if you are having to wait weeks for the engineers to come back out to fix the leak.

Although if it is leaking that seriously I would be inclined to turn the water off to it (It should have its own cut-off tap on the cold/hot water supply).

I did indeed turn the water off under the sink.

 

I wrote and rang Currys customer service, who said that I should send the lino estimate to the engineers direct as it was a subcontracted company.

 

They also said I wasnt entitled to a refund for the dishwasher and that the engineer would have to come out again.

 

The engineer came back out yesterday and had a fiddle, said he fixed it, and then lo and behold, it started leaking again.

 

Am I right in thinking that as they still havent fixed it, i am now deffinitely entitled to a refund or replacement?

Hi nat

 

Send them another letter with an update of the most recent visit, tell them you want it replaced and compensation as yet again you've had to stay in for the non - repair of the dishwasher. Tell them if it's not replace you will take legal action.

Looks like I will have to issue an N1. I have heard back from Currys and they state that they have 28 days to repair the dishwasher and I am not entitled to a refund or replacement until then.

 

They have told me I need to book ANOTHER engineer visit!

 

Should I also claim for my time and/or damages with the N1 or just simply the cost of a replacement dishwasher? The engineers company are dealing with the claim for the torn flooring.

Reply received at the weekend to my LBA:

 

Thank you for your letter dated 11th January 2012 addressed to our Head Office.

 

Please accept my apologies for the fault still not being resolved. As stated in my previous email, we are obliged to offer a suitable resolution and in this case it is a repair.

 

The engineers have 28 days from the date of the first visit to complete the said repair as long as they have had reasonable access to the product. I understand that you are not happy with the resolve offered and demand a full refund, however, at this present time we are unable to offer this.

 

I would like to discuss the points you made in letter in more detail however, I have been unable to reach you on the telephone number we have on record.

 

I will be out of the office now, but will be back on Tuesday 17 January 2012 when I will call you again and hopefully be able to offer further assistance.

 

 

Do I now go straight to court claim, or do I have to have another attempted repair? I cant take any more time off work for this really.

 

Thanks

Quick update. Currys finally replaced the dishwasher with a new one. They are offering £230 on the flooring which cost £460 19 months ago. Does this seem a fair price, or should I ask for a bit more?
