    • I googled "prescribed disability" to see where it is defined for the purposes of S.92. I found HMRC's definition, which included deafness. I don't  think anyone is saying deaf people cant drive, though! digging deeper,  Is it that “prescribed disability” (for the purposes of S.88 and S.92) is defined at: The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999 WWW.LEGISLATION.GOV.UK These Regulations consolidate with amendments the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1996...   ….. and sleep apnoea / increased daytime sleepiness is NOT included there directly as a condition but only becomes prescribed under “liability to sudden attacks of disabling giddiness or fainting” (but falling asleep isn't fainting!), so it isn’t defined there as a “prescribed disability”  Yet, under S.92(2)(b) RTA 1988 “ any other disability likely to cause the driving of a vehicle by him in pursuance of a licence to be a source of danger to the public" So (IMHO) sleep apnea / daytime sleepiness MIGHT be a prescribed disability, but only if it causes likelihood of "driving being a source of danger to the public" : which is where meeting / not meeting the medical standard of fitness to drive comes into play?  
    • You can counter a Judges's question on why you didn't respond by pointing out that any company that charges you with stopping at a zebra crossing is likely to be of a criminal mentality and so unlikely to cancel the PCN plus you didn't want to give away any knowledge you had at that time that could allow them to counteract your claim if it went to Court. There are many ways in which you can see off their stupid claim-you will see them in other threads  where our members have been caught by Met at other airports as well as Bristol.  Time and again they take motorists to Court for "NO Stopping" apparently completely forgetting that the have lost doing that because no stopping is prohibitory and cannot form a contract. Yet they keep on issuing PCNs because so many people just pay up . Crazy . You can see what chuckleheads they are when you read their Claim form which is pursuing you as the driver or the keeper. they don't seem to understand that on airport land because of the Bye laws, the keeper is never liable.

    • 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.

Hi all,

 

Just been informed that O2 are not offering any compensation or refunding the cost of 1 days service after Fridays service loss.

 

Do they not have to refund the cost of the days loss of service as I am essentially going to be paying for something I didnt receive?

 

Dont think I have a case to exit my contract FOC but its the principle of the matter. They should at least refund the cost of 1 days service, I know its about £1, less in some cases.

 

I am so mad at this company. I do regret renewing my contract with them. Only 22 months to go!!!

They did offer compensation when this happened back in July.

I cant see why not as those who were affected then are likely to be expecting it.

Well they do specify this

 

Q. Is this the same fault as the one in July?

A. No, the cause was different. However, it has had a similar impact on our customers, albeit fewer of them.

 

The media will no doubt pick up on this.

 

The Ombudsman says that customers should first try to resolve things with O2 and if you are not satisfied,then can complain to them.

My guess is that they will probably refund those who ask for a deadlock letter so they can complain to the Ombudsman.

It may only be £1 but if you multiply this by their customer base it is big money.

If no one pursues them then they will continue to think they have got away with it.

If you went into Asda and were charged £2 for something you didnt get or paid a tenner for petrol but only got 8 quids worth..I think most would be unhappy about it.

This scenario with O2 is no different IMO.

They are very quick to demand payments when its owed to THEM !

If they don't give you what you want, reply and ask if they consider you to be at DEADLOCK (a complaint going to the ADR (alternative dispute resolution) will cost them a lot more that a few quid as a goodwill gesture so you can almost guarantee they'll see sense)

If in doubt, contact a qualified insured legal professional (or my wife... she knows EVERYTHING)

 

Or send a cheque or postal order payable to Reclaim the Right Ltd.

After their last mess up they apologised for the 'unsatisfactory service' - & I got them to unlock my O2 mobile (never used directly on O2, only Giffgaff) as it was unsatisfactory being locked on the self confessed unsatisfactory O2 service.

 

So there's more room to work now.

Response to my complaint to O2, mights as well say jog on!

 

Thanks for contacting us.

We are genuinely sorry that a number of customers had problems with their service on Friday afternoon and evening. The problem is now fixed and full service has been restored.

While the network outage on the afternoon of October 12th was highly regrettable we will not be offering compensation in this case.

We know how disappointing it is that we’ve had another problem but you won’t be able to cancel your contract early without fees. We can’t guarantee service all the time and I assure you that we are continually working to improve the consistency of service you get from our network.

I understand the inconvenience the network disruption caused you.

We operate to the highest industry standards and using leading industry infrastructure. We will continue to challenge and assess what further steps we and our infrastructure partners can take to further improve our network performance.

Kind regards

In actual fact the reply provided is literally copied word for word from the bottom 2 questions from the Q&A section of the statement they issued here: http://news.o2.co.uk/2012/10/12/o2-network-disruption-12-october/

I'd give it one final go and request either a refund of the days rental or a deadlock letter. If they refuse to issue one then just wait 8 weeks from when you first raised your complaint and then approach their Ombudsman.

That is the refund of the portion of the service that they failed to provide.

 

They might say that they might be unable to provide the service all of the time but are they really saying that when they don't / can't provide the service that you will have to pay for what they don't supply?
