    • The Contract itself The airport is actually owned by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan. There should be an authority from them for Bristol airport group  to sign on their behalf. Without it the contract is invalid. The contract has so many  clauses redacted that it is questionable as to its fairness with regard to the Defendants ability to receive a fair trial. In the case of WH Holding Ltd, West Ham United Football Club Ltd -v- E20 Stadium LLP [2018],  In reaching its decision, the Court gave a clear warning to parties involved in litigation: ‘given the difficulties and suspicions to which extensive redaction inevitably gives rise, parties who decide to adopt such an appropriate in disclosure must take enhanced care to ensure that such redactions are accurately made, and must be prepared to suffer costs consequences if they are not’. The contract is also invalid as the signatories are required to have their signatures cosigned by independent witnesses. There is obviously a question of the date of the signatures not being signed until 16 days after the start of the contract. There is a question too about the photographs. They are supposed to be contemporaneous not taken several months before when the signage may have been different or have moved or damaged since then. The DEfendant respectfully asks the Court therefore to treat the contract as invalid or void. With no contract there can be no breach. Indeed even were the contract regarded as valid there would be no breach It is hard to understand why this case was brought to Court as there appears to be no reasonable cause to apply to the DVLA.............
    • Danny - point taken about the blue paragraphs.  Including them doesn't harm your case in any way.  It makes no odds.  It's just that over the years we've had judges often remarking on how concise & clear Caggers' WSs have been compared to the Encyclopaedia Britannica-length rubbish that the PPCs send, so I always have a slight preference to cut out anything necessary. Don't send off the WS straight away .. you have plenty of time ... and let's just say that LFI is the Contract King so give him a couple of days to look through it with a fine-tooth comb.
    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.

    • 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.

I'm renting a room from a private landlord at the moment (shared accomodation), and none of the furniture in my room is mine. Wouldn't it cost a small fortune to get new furniture if I had to move to one of these unfurnished places?

 

Depends. It's possible to get furniture quite cheaply if you don't need the latest, greatest stuff from expensive stores - charity shops and other organisations can provide decent things second hand.

 

Also, my wife and I are in our 40s. We've accumulated stuff over the years. Actually, our biggest worry when we moved in the summer was that we might have too much stuff. I'd have struggled with an unfurnished place when I was 21.

Remembering when I moved in with my husband in our first rented house, after living in a shared house, when you have little money, most of the furniture comes from second hand shops - apart from a bed which we already had, we furnished the house on less than £100. New furniture would be extravagant unless you had the money to pay for it.

When I left my (abusive) xh with a child, we had a black sack of clothing and some toiletries each. I bought the cheapest beds I could find (that broke within a year) and a fridge/freezer, fortunately the flat came with a washing machine. A friend turfed out a sofa from her shed, wiped off the mouldy bits and someone donated a large old fashioned TV, that was all we had. Bit by bit we got more bits. You make do. I have orthopaedic problems and that mouldy sofa killed my back but I still think of it with fondness.

If most landlords are not taking on tenants who claim benefits, especially HB, then what's the point of this benefit at all? Or am I missing something?

 

To be honest HB that relates to private lets is dying a natural death. Who actually can find a place at or below the 1/3 level that will allow HB claimants to rent? Those that do are generally the pits.

 

 

I know of one disgusting individual (28) that is supposed to have heart failure!!! Yes he has a problem but he is now OK with the medication he is on and lives a normal life - if you call binge drinking and consuming/selling class A drugs normal. He managed to convince the council via his GP that he couldn't walk 5 metres without getting out of breath - load of rubbish, I know the guy he is my ex son in law!! He was given a new 1 bed semi bungalow which he deals from, but spends most of his time living with his new GF. He has big ideas - he wants to buy it under the RTB scheme and let it out.

I know one guy who spends a lot of his time boasting about how he's perfectly capable of work but claims ESA anyway. Honestly, he shows up on benefit forums far and wide, berating other claimants while talking about how he fixed his guttering and drives too fast. He's an apparently endless source of daft, meaningless little anecdotes - as far as I can tell, he knows every single undeserving claimant in all of Canterbury. Or is that Folkestone? If that doesn't convince readers that benefit claimants are scumbags, I don't know what will.

Antone , Could you please clarify what all benefit claimants are please ? I live on benefits , not through choice but because I'm disabled . I would love to get up and go to work every day to support my family but it's not going to happen . I suggest some ignorant people get their facts right before they start shouting their mouth off and tarring everyone with the same brush !

I'm not sure what you're asking me here. Rest assured that I do not hold benefit claimants in contempt - that would be hypocrisy, as I've been one in the past and quite possibly will be again. But I don't understand your question.

My question is simple - look at your above comment posted yesterday at 22.14 . You end it with " If that doesn't convince readers that all benefit claimants are ######s " - What's the missing word , would like to know what I'm being called ?

Er, you are not being called anything. That whole exchange relates to a forum troll, who is not you, I assume. The post you refer to was a joke. We have this troll, and...look, I'm not going into the details. But it was not intended to be taken seriously, and if you pay attention to posts here, you'll see why.

 

Look, spend some time reading around this forum and you'll see why I made that post. Unless you're another incarnation of that guy, you'll be fine.

I am 100% confident that Antone meant no offence to you or any other benefit claimant as he is very supportive of those who find themelves in such a position

 

The comment was tongue in cheek and directed at the postings/rantings of a particular troll who regularly tries to portray benefit claimants in a negative way

  • 1 month later...

I have been on this benefit for nearly a year now, having been put on ESA WRAG (contribution-based) from IS after filling out their form.

 

However, during this time, I have never had a WCA nor had letters telling me to attend work-based interviews, even though the original letter said this would happen.

 

So what happens when the benefit ends in May - will I be put onto income-based ESA WRAG (as I have no savings and no income at all) or will they somehow move me to JSA? I suppose they'll finally make the WCA appointment at that time.

 

I am on medication for mental problems, namely anxiety and paranoia, and have been since before my last job in 2004-2005, just so you know my circumstances.

You say you were moved over from IS - normally that would mean you'd be on income-related ESA. However, strange things happen. If you're on contribution based ESA and your 365 days is up, you need to complete form ESA3 to apply for income-related. You should qualify for this since you have no savings or other income, though if you have a partner their income will be considered as well.

 

You won't be moved to JSA because of this, and it is not connected to the WCA process.

They will probably inform you its going to end soon and I would hope they have the kindness to send you an ESA3 form to convert to income based ESA (if you qualify).

 

Lucky you havent even had one interview on WRAG.

 

If you move to income based ESA, and get put in WRAG again after another WCA, then unless the prognosis time is over 12 months you will likely be mandated to the work programme.

 

Regarding IS to CB based, my experience of the DWP is they prefer putting people on contribution based benefits when they are found to qualify for both. I am still on CB based even tho I do qualify for income based and as a result I am getting no enhanced disability premium.

So no chance I may be moved to JSA? I hope I don't. I've been reading up on how frequent, unfair and nasty JSA sanctions are and I hear it's the main benefit that has that, and that ESA sanctions are not anywhere near as nasty.

 

What gets me though is that JSA sanctions are lifted when "people re-engage with the programme" - is that really harder to do than it sounds?

No, you won't be moved to JSA because of your contributions situation. If you're entitled to ESA(IR) and complete the appropriate form, that's what you'll get.

No savings, no partner - so I should be entitled to ESA(IR)?

 

Yes, it's very possible that you would be entitled to ESA(IR) as you have no other household income or savings. Form ESA3 is used to make the appropriate application.

 

Just to note, the WCA process is governed by a different set of rules - applying for ESA(IR) will not trigger a WCA.
