      Bailiffs employed by private companies do not possess the authority to arrest, restrain, or detain individuals.

      By blfuk1 · Posted

      I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

if you live in france..why the hell are you even bothering to reply on a uk based problem......you obviously prefer the system over there...so i suggest you stay there......and your lucky you can afford the 22 euros to pay the doctor...because i can assure any low paid worker in the uk would struggle greatly to do so....and thank god the surgeries are not full of old people....perhaps their dead?

There is no requirement to live in the UK to post on this forum, I might remind you. I still take an interest in what is going on in the UK, as anyone might.

 

I plan indeed to stay in France where the system is very fair to those who work and pay taxes. The reason the surgeries are not full is that the fee puts off those who would be there to merely waste the doctor's time. Doctor's surgeries are not social clubs, you know, or, at least, they shouldn't be. Too often in the UK, I found that they were, however. When you are working and have to take time off to see the doctor, there is nothing more annoying than finding that people who do not have any reason to be there are clogging up the system.

 

I find your insinuations about France and the French medical system to be more than a bit insulting. There is no need for that. I was asked how I would like having to pay to see the doctor and I made a reply based on my own experience.

And how may I ask do you know they're all wasting the GP's time? Do you work there? Are you a GP? Do you have access to all their notes?

 

Sounds like this fee probably puts off more people who genuinely need help and yet can't afford it.

Because I could hear their conversations. They didn't bother to disguise the fact that there wasn't anything wrong with them and that they just liked meeting at the surgery to have a chat with their friends.

 

The fee doesn't put off anyone; remember that 70% of it is reimbursed by l'Assurance Maladie, and the rest by private insurance. Believe me, if people felt it was putting them off, they would say so and it would be in the newspapers. This is France and if people don't like something, they will protest. They will make themselves known.

you must have lived in a very strange place in this country...because i can honestly say in all my 57 years on this planet i have never been in a doctors surgery where it was used purely as a meeting point....by the way..you still didnt answer my question...what happens when you can't work..or you are unemployed...etc? because as you so state....the system is very fair to those who are working and paying their taxes....reading between the lines here..but it seems if you ain't look out....

So, let me get this straight. You've managed to overhear every single person who's ever visited that surgery have you. And hell love, can I say you sound like one nosey parker. :D

 

That still leaves 30% to pay. That must be a hinderance to the poorest of your society or are they all rich?

 

So far *touch wood* I've never had to pay for any of my medical procedures or visits to my GP. I'm sure under Cameron's bunch of arses thats about to change though.

Why do you wish so much to insult the French? Why can't you hold a civilised conversation without being so very insulting?

 

As for the sick/disabled/unemployed, generally, they are taken care of by their families. France is very strong on families. If one member of the family is working, then, provided the members are living together, they are all covered. I don't know all the rules, no, but no-one is being shot in the streets. What a dreadful accusation to make. Tell me, do you often insult other countries simply because they don't do things exactly the same way that they are done in England?

 

Yes, I am entitled to my views, although it sounds as if you would rather that I not be. As I said, this site has no residence requirement for making comments. If you are as left-wing as you make yourself out to be, I should think that you would feel enriched by having an emmigrant inform you of diverse cultural differences outside of Britain.

If the Govenment seriously wants to reduce its debts why dosen't it stop all overseas aid.

Surely it's not needed any more as all the illegal immigrants can readily claim benefits as soon as they get here.

 

I attended an esa medical and secretly taped the interview. The alleged professional Doctor completely lied about responses and did not do the exam as how he stated.

 

Illegal immigrants cannot claim benefits. Indeed, not even all legal immigrants can do so.

 

But the basic answer, really, is that this is the absolute worst time to attempt to reduce the deficit. The government should not make repaying debts any kind of priority right now. Respected US economist Paul Krugman takes up the story.

 

So the austerity drive in Britain isn’t really about debt and deficits at all; it’s about using deficit panic as an excuse to dismantle social programs. And this is, of course, exactly the same thing that has been happening in America.

 

In fairness to Britain’s conservatives, they aren’t quite as crude as their American counterparts. They don’t rail against the evils of deficits in one breath, then demand huge tax cuts for the wealthy in the next (although the Cameron government has, in fact, significantly cut the top tax rate). And, in general, they seem less determined than America’s right to aid the rich and punish the poor. Still, the direction of policy is the same — and so is the fundamental insincerity of the calls for austerity.

Um, you're the one who seems to have the problem with emmigration; after all, if you don't have a problem with immigrants, then you shouldn't have a problem with emmigrants. You have insulted me and you have, in my opinion, insulted both the French and France. This is not civil of you and it is not called for at all.

 

I don't know all the rules of the French system, as I have said, but no-one here starves in the streets, that is for certain. No-one is taken out and shot. If you are so interested, why don't you do some research yourself? There is information in English and French is easy enough to learn at any rate.

 

This is my last reply on this subject as I have been repeatedly insulted by various posters here. Not only that, but an entire country and its people have been insulted. If you cannot carry out a civil conversation, then really, I don't think you should be posting here.

if you read carefully I have never insulted the French or France that is your reading of my posts....if I have then like I say to my wife... never go to bed on an argument....and I dont intend nor wanted to argue with you...I just believe that your view is slewed....and i have no problem with people who emigrate..as i have consistently stated I wish to hell I could have got out, but circumstances would not allow that...and if anyone posting here you feel has insulted you then we are sorry....but we do have people starving over here....turning to charities in order to survive.and feed their families for something that was never their fault.....the large French countryside where farming is one of the major industries is one of the reasons why the French are in a sense luckier than us...who are crammed into an overcrowded island...

relying on financial services, retial,call centre, and very little else in the way of work...our manufacturing base is shot...and believe you me there is a lot of angry people now in this country...as we watch big business making a huge profit out of misery.....as to my posting here if the mods think i have not done anything wrong then I assume I shall still be allowed to.....you should read carefully what you have posted and wonder why people have been quick to castigate...but have a nice evening...and please dont take it to personally
