    • Oh I see! thats confusing, for some reason the terms and conditions that Evri posted in that threads witness statement are slightly different than the t&cs on packlinks website. Their one says enter into a contract with the transport agency, but the website one says enter into a contract with paclink. via website: (c) Each User will enter into a contract with Packlink for the delivery of its Goods through the chosen Transport Agency. via evri witness statement in that thread: (c) Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency I read your post at #251, so I should use the second one (and changing the screenshot in the court bundle), since I am saying I have a contract with Evri? Is that correct EDIT: Oh I understand the rest of your conversation. you're saying if I was to do this i would have to fully adjust my ws to use the consumer rights act instead of rights of third parties. In that case should I just edit the terms and stick with the third parties plan?. And potentially if needed just bring up the CRA in the hearing, as you guys did in that thread  
    • First, those are the wrong terms,  read posts 240-250 of the thread ive linked to Second donough v stevenson should be more expanded. You should make refernece to the three fold duty of care test as well. Use below as guidance: The Defendant failed its duty of care to the Claimant. As found in Donoghue v Stevenson negligence is distinct and separate to any breach of contract. Furthermore, as held in the same case there need not be a contract between the Claimant and the Defendant for a duty to be established, which in the case of the Claimant on this occasion is the Defendant’s duty of care to the Claimant’s parcel whilst it is in their possession. By losing the Claimant’s parcel the Defendant has acted negligently and breached this duty of care. As such the Claimant avers that even if it is found that the Defendant not be liable in other ways, by means of breach of contract, should the court find there is no contract between Claimant and Defendant, the Claimant would still have rise to a claim on the grounds of the Defendant’s negligence and breach of duty of care to his parcel whilst it was in the Defendant’s possession, as there need not be a contract to give rise to a claim for breach of duty of care.  The court’s attention is further drawn to Caparo Industries plc v Dickman (1990), 2 AC 605 in which a three fold test was used to determine if a duty of care existed. The test required that: (i) Harm must be a reasonably foreseeable result of the defendant’s conduct; (ii) A relationship of proximity must exist and (iii) It must be fair, just and reasonable to impose liability.  
    • Thank you. here's the changes I made 1) removed indexed statement of truth 2) added donough v Stevenson in paragraph 40, just under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 paragraph about reasonable care and skill. i'm assuming this is a good place for it? 3) reworded paragraph 16 (now paragraph 12), and moved the t&cs paragraphs below it then. unless I understood you wrong it seems to fit well. or did you want me to remove the t&cs paragraphs entirely? attached is the updated draft, and thanks again for the help.

    • 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.

Excuse my ignorance, but this is a genuine question as I did my schooling overseas. Why are children in Britain supplied with breakfast and dinner at school? When I was at school in the sixties school started at 8am until 2.30pm.

Our parents made sure that we had breakfast as we have to get up at 6am to be ready to go to school by about 7.30am as we had to walk to school which was about 2 mile away. Every morning my parents would make us sandwiches to take with us and we also had some fruit like apples, grapes etc.

Our parents never received any child benefits or any benefits of any kind as they were not available. We certainly were not well off and it was a struggle from day to day, but we managed and I had a good upbringing. Here people get various child benefits, but why are all kids also given meals which must cost the state a fortune?

Dunno about breakfast but dinners aren't provided free for ALL pupils only those whose parents are on certain benefits.

For some kids, school meals might be the only meal of the day.

I had free dinners when I was at school, so I'm in support of that provision - I have no issue with funding this!

I am not knocking it, just wondering why. Why would the school meal be their only meal on that day. What happens on weekends? I am trying to understand why this is happening in a first world country when it was not available in a third world country where I lived where it was needed a lot more. Many kids went to school barefoot, but this did not bother them and we who had shoes never looked down on them as we all got on together.

Unstable homes? Dysfunctional family, addicted parents. Perhaps they go hungry at the weekend? Maybe only have toast or a cake or a packet of crisps at home. Who knows, it might be a 1st world country but extreme poverty exists, despite what the government spin doctors say. Child poverty in particular, is a bloody crying shame in this day.

children in the UK are living in absolute poverty. Giving them a meal is only the tip of the iceberg.

If I didn't know better, I would have thought you were referring to a third world country as poverty should not exist in Britain. If we have all this poverty here, why are we sending money to overseas country. Actually why do we have Comic Relief and Red Nose days?

simple answer our government likes to look after others and not ourselves, even in recession they pay out for other countries with no worry about us lot.

Totally agree with you, leigh. It is absolutely ridiculous to be sending aid to countries which are funding their own nuclear programmes, or space programmes, or where the dictators running the countries have luxury yachts, planes and much more. Over here pensioners have to freeze because the cost of gas and electricity is so high. We are now totally in a situation where the lunatics are running the asylum.

 

As far as school meals are concerned, despite receiving benefits a lot of parents are completely feckless and it is the children who suffer. You only have to look around you in one of the cheaper supermarkets to see hard-faced parents with the trollies full of chips and the nastiest cheap frozen or tinned food - 20 beefburgers for £1, or 'hot dogs' made with mechanically recovered meat, in other words sludge.

 

They will also have 24-packs of beer and then they'll be queueing for 200 cigarettes and rizla papers. It's not that they cannot afford food - they'd just rather buy booze and cigarettes.

 

That is why it is important that these children do get at least one meal a day. They may get nothing at home.

Some parents don't even go to shops, there are parents who lack parenting skills, others addicted some just don't have the ability to nurture, however there are families who just can't make ends meet, no fags, beer or chips n hotdogs x

Probably get shot for saying this, but maybe those sort of people need sterilising? Even the parents of the poorest kids at school made sure their children had food first and I mean proper food not churned out garbage. No such thing as supermarkets and ready made foods in those days.

I received free school meals when I was at primary school. Parents were on a very low income then.

 

Some children may have breakfast at school because of the hours their parents work. I used to do a work placement at a nursery and it wasn't unusual for a child to be dropped off at 8am and then the parents go to work.

 

Not all kids are given these meals for free.
