    • Thank-you dx, What you have written is certainly helpful to my understanding. The only thing I would say, what I found to be most worrying and led me to start this discussion is, I believe the judge did not merely admonish the defendant in the case in question, but used that point to dismiss the case in the claimants favour. To me, and I don't have your experience or knowledge, that is somewhat troubling. Again, the caveat being that we don't know exactly what went on but I think we can infer the reason for the judgement. Thank-you for your feedback. EDIT: I guess that the case I refer to is only one case and it may never happen again and the strategy not to appeal is still the best strategy even in this event, but I really did find the outcome of that case, not only extremely annoying but also worrying. Let's hope other judges are not quite so narrow minded and don't get fixated on one particular issue as FTMDave alluded to.

    • the claimant in their WS can refer to whatever previous CC judgements they like, as we do in our WS's, but CC judgements do not set a legal precedence. however, they do often refer to judgements like Bevis, those cases do created a precedence as they were court of appeal rulings. as for if the defendant, prior to the raising of a claim, dobbed themselves in as the driver in writing during any appeal to the PPC, i don't think we've seen one case whereby the claimant referred to such in their WS.. ?? but they certainly typically include said appeal letters in their exhibits. i certainly dont think it's a good idea to 'remind' them of such at the defence stage, even if the defendant did admit such in a written appeal. i would further go as far to say, that could be even more damaging to the whole case than a judge admonishing a defendant for not appealing to the PPC in the 1st place. it sort of blows the defendant out the water before the judge reads anything else. dx

    • 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.

There should be a thread on here for the benefit of IDS. The fella can't do right for doing wrong. For all of those in this country that are objecting to the reforms, maybe they should stand up and tell the rest of us how they would solve the budget imbalance. Much criticism, but not much in the way of helpful advice and alternative policies.

 

i wouldn't know where to start with IDS, everything he does is wrong and imho he may as well have not been born because he is no help to anyone.

what has IDS done right, exactly?

 

IDS has done nothing right, i can't wait for the day he falls and David Cameron kicks him out of the goverment for good. then i won't have to look at his ugly face every time there is a welfare related news story :)

Tbh I don't think any one person can be blamed for this. It's all been agreed in parliament.

tbh i think all the blame should be placed at IDS's door, he is responsible and should be punished for his mistakes.

That would not raise very much! Evasion of taxes is miniscule.

 

Just take DLA as one example - where else would they find close to £3bn a year of savings?

 

Could start here I suppose:

These schemes are great if you have spare money to throw around, which we apparently don't as we are being constantly told.

Many of us have already said how they would reduce the defecit, but the fact you even asked the question indicates you have been gravely misled.

 

The first issue been the deficit is not even a big problem, its much smaller than it has been historically.

The second issue been is you feel you need to ask the question when the government are spending money on huge tax cuts (yes tax cuts is spending money). As well as budgeting for a new high speed rail line and giving rich people money for mansions.

This is precisely correct. The deficit is not important, and the actions being taken to "fix" this non-problem are making things worse. I agree with Caro. We should be investing in infrastructure projects (including HS2, IMO) to stimulate economic growth. We should also reinstate public sector workers who've been laid off.

Whilst you are right HS2 is a stimulas I did mention that as the poster seems obsessed with cuts, yet all those backing these policies seem to think there is mass cuts everywhere when the reality is 90% is on social security.

Where does this magic £26000 come from? Take off HB which goes directly to landlords, and CT benefit which goes directly to LA's and not the claimants pocket contrary to what IDS and the Mail would have the Angry of Mayfair brigade believe, and then print what's left.

you never see stories like that about MP's expenses.

 

MP's think it's right and proper to accept handouts from the public purse for expenses, I call it scrounging.

Everybody has to pay their outgoings from their salary except MP's, I call that unfair advantage.

 

How can these people can look down on us mere mortals with disdain when they are the bigger offenders?

I wasn't talking about benefit fraud - I never mentioned it.

 

what I am talking about is the amount of money that has to be saved out of the Welfare Budget to balance the books. For DLA alone they need to save £3bn a year.

Ask yourself why savings are being made out of the welfare budget. The official statistics show 90% of government savings are against welfare, why.

 

The government never seem to mention where else they are imposing savings

 

The latest statement from Duncan smith stated

 

"If you listen to what I am saying, you will understand the reality is that this country is not cutting welfare, it is managing the growth at a lower level."

 

So he admits its the lowest people in society having to pay, not big business etc

 

He really is a vile little man

Why take those off? If you were working you would have to pay them out of income anyhow.

 

It's a direct comparison. salary/wages or benefits, it doesn't really matter. Except that wages are earned and benefits are paid for by those that earn!

 

So you could say that those that work and earn a income not only pay for their own rent and council tax but end up paying towards someone else's as well.

Employees working in private industry also are paid expenses. Why just pick on MP's? If the large expense accounts were removed from senior employees, the price that the public would pay for their product would be cheaper - British Gas as an example.
