    • @Man in the middle I've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Thanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe concenquences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points?
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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.

In my appeal I accused the original Judge of "extreme bias". I realise now the courts don't recognise bias amongst the Judiciary.

I also have no way of proving imputed bias or actual bias without knowing more about the Judge's professional\personal interests. How does a person go about finding out such details?

Although I may have some luck with apparent bias. This will never be attributed to the Judge directly, but through her actions. If indeed it's acknowledge by the appeal at all. In Metropolitan Properties Co. (F.G.C.) Ltd v Lannon [1969] Lord Denning M.R. had this to say "In considering whether there was a real likelihood of bias, the court does not look at the mind of the justice himself or at the mind of the chairman of the tribunal, or whoever it may be, who sits in judicial capacity. It does not look to see if there was a real likelihood that he would, or did, in fact favour one side at the expense of the other".

 

Denning also goes on to say "Surmise or conjecture is not enough" to challenge the impartiality of the Judge, but circumstances must bring about the real likelihood of bias.

 

Porter vs Magil [2002], Lord Hope (aptly named I might add) phrased the problem in the following manner; "the question is whether the fair minded and informed observer, having considered the facts, would conclude that there was a real possibility that the tribunal was bias".

 

Lord Hope's interpretation is more in keeping with natural justice and it's something I will rely on.

I had thought I had presented my claim in such a way as to verify it's merits.

 

The merits of your claim were indeed crystal clear. Which is why it was dismissed.

 

BTW actually putting in your appeal that the DJ was extremely biased will probably land you with indemnity costs. Such an accusation is always the last refuge of those with hopeless cases.

An indemnity is compensation and it refers to contracts between parties. Judging from the misuse of the word in your post, you are under the impression myself and the judge are in a contract. Even if you somehow meant myself and the bank, you would be wrong as I cannot indemnify the bank in relation to payments I made to it.

The mistakes you make are of such a fundemental nature as to make a person question which high school you attend.

You really are a difficult person to deal with and are failing to grasp the simple concept that the legal definition of words can differ from the dictionary definition.

 

You clearly have access to the internet so you would have though you would have engaged Google before engaging your brain.

 

As you seem to be struggling I'll help out...

 

"In litigation, the court can award indemnity costs, as opposed to costs on the standard basis, in certain defined circumstances and under its wide discretion regarding costs under CPR 44.3. An order for indemnity costs is intended to provide a party to litigation, when their costs are assessed, with recovery of all, or nearly all, their outlay in the litigation. This is more favourable than costs on the standard basis under which a party only recovers a large proportion of his costs but never anything close to what he paid. Indemnity costs need not be, but often are, penal, that is, awarded for unreasonable conduct or abuse of process.

 

This practice note explains the nature of indemnity costs, the process for obtaining them and, with extensive reference to case law, how the court can exercise its discretion whether or not to award them."

You haven't helped me out as much as caught me out, which given our previous correspondence is an achievement for you.

Perhaps you should go lie down.

I don't think the Judge will allow minors in. No matter how well intentioned.

Right, as Duncan Bannatyne would say "I'm out".

 

Enjoy your appeal. Let us know how you get on.

The listing manager at the lambeth county court has informed me DJ Wakem no longer sits at the court. Unfortunately that's the extent of the good news. The e-mail goes on to say the court had received the N460 form I had sent on the 23rd July 2012 but was faxing a copy to the Judge today.

It's a good thing the courts are protected by the royal charter otherwise it's incompetence would have seen it bankrupted thrice over.

Today I lost my appeal. In summing up the Judge started by outlining the respective positions

of both parties. He stopped doing so when the truth would inconvenience the pre determined

outcome. I realised the purchase protection insurance isn't a contract, it's an amendment to

an existing contract. I said as much but the Judge persisted in calling it a contract.

Once he accepted the agreement was with Royal Sun Alliance despite Natwest settling disputes

in regards to claims I knew the Judge was ignoring case law in relation to conduct.

The Judge however wouldn't approve cost until a cost Judge had looked at the costings.

A small crumb of comfort.

 

For anyone out there who later reads this and is in a similar situation. My advice is don't

bother appealing a decision. In some ways it felt like a FOS decision. Meaning the law

was never applied.

Oh dear. As both the District Judge and Circuit Judge were so obviously wrong, not to say extremely biased, presumably you'll be appealing again?

 

Answer me this. When the Respondent argues that the written exclusion clause is not definitive and other items (not listed) should be included.

 

Do you agree?

 

Gaston, you strike me as a timid soul. Someone who doesn't question authority.

Dodgy experience in the County Courts? Surely not?!! I have suffered a biased judge… one who seeing a LIP with severe hearing difficulties made the decision NOT to adjourn the trial when the audio loop failed to work, thereby preventing me from my right to a fair hearing…told me I was going to lose less than halfway through proceedings (I didn't understand the cross examination questions), then went on to allow the other side a 100% uplift of their costs despite their lack of making me aware of a CFA… waste of time appealing as it will probably be more of the same.
