    • 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.

Well .....he hasnt paid so order has been struck out - yahoo!

 

The more and more I ponder over all of this I am sure it was just a scare tactic and in some ways I am sad I havent had my day in court with him but as the wife says, count my blessings and at least we can move on now.

 

I have been told that he will be pleading guilty in court to his farce of fraud and also dimished responsibility as he now telling his friends (not that he has many) and others that he is not well and walking around scruffy which is unlike him to be honest. However, should he try with the court again at least I can say he is a little unstable thus his claim against me lol...

 

So this leaves me to say a big thanks to everyone especially the advice that some have experienced first hand. The forum is great and a credit to you all.

Maybe you can get this added to his fraud case as evidence that he is NOT as unstable as he appears and likes to misuse the courts left, right and centre, and also mention about the bouncing cheque as that could be crucial against him.

 

Well done for hanging on and countering this ludicrous claim against you.

Great News..as following this was interest especially as it appeared a great reason to use Summary Judgment/Strike Out (that I had used successfully) but of course it didnt get that far.

 

A few points, he may be able to attempt to strike out the set aside, you can defend against this, he must show very good reason and proof (CPR 3.9) why he didnt pay, again, this is what happened to me, and the set aside was dismissed.

 

Are costs claimable at this stage ?

I am reading up now on your comments with CPR 3.9 so I am ready if and when he does re-apply. As for costs, to be honest I dont want to bother. I am exhausted with it all and wife even more so. just glad it at this stage and if it is re-opened then will have more experience etc to defend with even more confidence!

 

I just await his court case with interest :smile:

 

Thanks,

John

In my case, the other side's solicitor didnt really have a good reason as to why the fees were not paid, apart from being 'busy', clearly this wasnt good enough :) for 3.9.

 

I'm sure one of the others will verify if costs are claimable, I assume you didnt pay any court fees ?, if you can get costs, it should be simple enough to put in an application for x hours x £18 LiP rate, might get enough to treat the wife to a meal out.......even if its McD's :)
