    • I'm still pondering/ trying to find docs re the above issue. Moving on - same saga; different issue I'm trying to understand what I can do: The lender/ mortgagee-in-possession has a claim v me for alleged debt. But the debt has only been incurred due to them failing to sell property in >5y. I'm fighting them on this.   I've been trying to get an order for sale for 2y.  I got it legally added into my counterclaim - but that will only be dealt with at trial.  This is really frustrating. The otherside's lawyers made an application to adjourn trial for a few more months - allegedly wanting to try sort some kind of settlement with me and to use the stay to sell.  At the hearing I asked Judge to expedite the order for sale. I pointed out they need a court-imposed deadline or this adjournment is just another time wasting tactic (with interest still accruing) as they have no buyer.  But the judge said he could legally only deal with the order at trial. The otherside don't want to be forced to sell the property.. Disclosure has presented so many emails which prove they want to keep it. I raised some points with the judge including misconduct of the receiver. The judge suggested I may have a separate claim against the receiver?   On this point - earlier paid-for lawyers said my counterclaim should be directed at the lender for interference with the receiver and the lender should be held responsible for the receiver's actions/ inactions.   I don't clearly understand that, but their legal advice was something to do with the role a receiver has acting as an agent for a borrower which makes it hard for a borrower to make a claim against a receiver ???.  However the judge's comment has got me thinking.  He made it clear the current claim is lender v me - it's not receiver v me.  Yet it is the receiver who is appointed to sell the property. (The receiver is mentioned/ involved in my counterclaim only from the lender collusion/ interference perspective).  So would I be able to make a separate application for an order for sale against the receiver?  Disclosure shows receiver has constantly rejected offers. He gave a contract to one buyer 4y ago. But colluded with the lender's lawyer to withdraw the contract after 2w to instead give it to the ceo of the lender (his own ltd co) (using same lawyer).  Emails show it was their joint strategy for lender/ ceo to keep the property.  The receiver didn't put the ceo under any pressure to exchange quickly.  After 1 month they all colluded again to follow a very destructive path - to gut the property.  My account was apparently switched into a "different fund" to "enable them to do works" (probably something to do with the ceo as he switched his ltd co accountant to in-house).   Interestingly the receiver told lender not to incur significant works costs and to hold interest.  The costs were huge (added to my account) and interest was not held.   The receiver rejected a good offer put forward by me 1.5y ago.  And he rejected a high offer 1y ago - to the dismay of the agent.  Would reasons like this be good enough to make a separate application to the court against the receiver for an order for sale ??  Or due to the main proceedings and/or the weird relationship a borrower has with a receiver I cannot ?

    • You could send an SAR to DCbl on the pretext that you are going for a breach of your GDPR . They should then send the purported letter of discontinuance which may show why it ended up in Gloucester and see if you can get your  costs back on the day. It obviously won't be much but  at least perhaps a small recompense for your wasted day. Not exactly wasted since you had a great win  albeit much sweeter if you had beat them in Court. But a win is a win so well done. We will miss you as it has been almost two years since you first started out on this mission. { I would n't be surprised if the wrong Court was down to DCBL}. I see you said "till the next time" but I am guessing you will be avoiding private patrolled car parks for a while.🙂
    • It is extremely disappointing that you haven't told us anything about the result of the hearing. You came here at the very last minute and the regulars - all unpaid volunteers - sweated blood trying to get an acceptable Witness Statement prepared in an extremely short time. The least you could have done is tell us how the hearing went, information invaluable for future users. Evidently not.

    • 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.

The court then confirmed by letter earlier this year that case against me was "discontinued" and case against Mrs was "struck out".

 

 

They then issued a new default notice in April 2013. The basis of the case is the same and I have enough evidence to show they were in contempt of the initial order of the court to submit a WS by 12th June 2012.

 

But are the particulars of all the claims the same? Maybe if different amounts/ reasons Nastywest may/can argue that new case is different, even if it is for same account? A further defence could be that Nastywest are confusing matters by issuing multiple claims too?

 

Hopefully someone with more knowledge can help here.

Res Judicata only applies to claims that have been adjudged...not discontinued or struck out (subject to the reasons)

Hi Andy, how does this case relate to mine if at all: https://civillitigationbrief.wordpress.com/2014/01/03/second-action-struck-out-as-an-abuse-of-process-report-of-first-instance-decision/

 

 

On the face of it, there seems to be an abuse of process if a case has been struck out, regardless of whether it went to a full trial or not.

Yes it would assist Dpac...but as the link states it was for other reasons not Res Judicata...sanctions imposed because of the Solicitors actions for none complience and taking a laxidaisy approach to the court and CPR

So given that the same thing happened the first time around i.e. the claimant decided not to submit a witness statement and the case was struck out as a result, this could be relevant? Should we revise our witness statement, submit an application to strike out or both? Do we need to submit the revised WS 7 days before the trial date?

A supplemental witness statement ? You need the claimants consent officially or you could just wing it and get it in front of the judge...I personally would just introduce it as evidence on the day......prepare a fresh skeleton argument (3 copies) hand it the claimants council before you go in...in case they object....you would struggle to get an application in time now.

just checked with the court and they have said if we get an application in tomorrow it should be looked at on Monday. they also said we could send a revised witness statement as part of the application. should we start with cpr 38.7 and ask for it to be struck out on the basis that it has been heard before and struck out due to non-compliance?

CPR 38.7 is discontinuance and subsequent proceedings...I thought it was struck out?

case was struck out - we didn't receive a strike out order from the court but have a subsequent letter from the court showing case for Mrs P was struck out and case for Mr P was discontinued. this was a joint case with Mrs P as leading name and NatWest failed to file WS in response to court ditections. about 4 weeks after the WS deadline NatWest filed discontinuance for Mr P only. what CPR would be relevant?

So you have a mixture of discontinuance and sanctions CPR 38 for Discontinuance and CPR 3 for Strike out and sanctions.

I'm putting together our application notice so that the judge can read it on Monday morning. Thanks Andy for the strike out/discontinuance info - very useful - they failed to comply with an order to provide their WS and we mentioned this failure to the court as a supplementary to the N170 filed in July 2012 and asked for a strike out. Then magically out of nowhere came a notice of discontinuance dated July 2012 and we have a letter from the court confirming strike out AND discontinuance.

 

 

A further abuse of process was that they then subsequently reinstated the same claim through Northampton against Mrs P only and then 2 weeks later, another identical claim through a different solicitor - same subject, 2 different claims - surely this is an abuse of process? If we didn't have CAG friends helping us, we could have ended up with two CCJs for the same debt!

 

 

Next thing to mention is that the current claim includes loan + overdraft. They original issued DNs for both and in Claimants recent WS, they say that Claimant is entitled to apply an unpaid item fee each time a payment is missed as per Section 6.3 of the Private Banking Terms and Conditions.

 

 

Isn't there a specific termination procedure for overdrafts, whether authorised or unauthorised?

 

 

Further in their WS, they say:

 

 

"the current account had insufficient funds to meet direct debit requests and as such, the current account became overdrawn. The Claimants contacted the Defendants advising them of this and requesting them to amend the position immediately. As this was not done, pursuant to section 6.5.2 the Terms and Conditions, the Claimant was entitled to immediately terminate the overdraft".

 

 

So they are saying that the account was terminated in 2009 and they issued a default notice in May 2009. There was no termination notice and then another default notice in April 2013 for the same "overdraft" - surely if the account has been terminated by their own admission, a subsequent default notice has to be non-compliant to say the least!

 

 

The final point possibly to include in the application notice is that they issued a "notice given in compliance with CCA 1974 because you are behind with sums payable under loan agreement" and then a failure to comply letter demanding payment 5 days from the date of the letter. They conveniently omit in their WS that they also issued a DN 4 weeks after the first letter and a few weeks before the failure to comply letter and this DN is defective.

 

 

All of this and we still have the ICO investigating false data reporting and the FOS investigating harassment.

 

 

Would appreciate some thoughts on the above and what to be asking the DJ to do e.g. strike it out before trial, hear it at trial and apply strike out, apply for costs, etc?

The official procedure to terminate an overdraft is by issuing The Demand/Termination Notice (Notice served under Sections 76(1) and 98(1) of the CCA1974

 

 

With regards to all the other points they are for a WS or Defence and trial not an application dpac

In the example provided section 10 deals with imposing sanctions subject to CPR r.3.4(2)© and CPR r.1.1(2)(f) failure to comply with directions...I have provided the correct CPR PDS in your case above...so refer to them and draft it similar to the example.

 

Have a go yourself...as this will help you understand what and why you are requesting it......I will of course check it for you.

hi Andy, only got your update yesterday morning after the n244 was due so I had to take a stab without your input. i referenced cpr 3 and 38.7 and asked for a strike out. judge has looked at it and said he will deal with it first thing at the trial.

 

i was hoping NatWest were going to pull out because if the law/cpr is black and white, this case has already been struck out for non-compliance.

 

so it looks like the trial is going ahead on Friday - how should we prepare?

Have you prepared a bundle...skeleton argument...you need to have all your arguments and evidence to hand for trial......just in case the application is dismissed...hopefully it wont be.

Yes a full paginated file in order and indexed...I would also carry copies of the previous claims and court orders.I would also prepare a costs order covering everything connected to the claimant even from previous claims.

 

" hopefully the application will be dismissed"

 

Is that a typo dpac ?
