    • This is the full details, note they have made an error (1) in that paragraph 5 stated 14 days before hearing not 7. Surely a company of their size would proof read and shouldn't make basic errors like that 1) The Claimant respectfully applies for an extension of time to comply with paragraph 5 of the Order of Deputy District Judge XXX dated XX March 2024 i.e. the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely shall be filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing. 2) The Claimant seeks a short extension of time allow them to further and properly investigate data provided to them by Royal Mail which is of importance to the proceedings and determination of the Claim. 3) The Claimant and Royal Mail have an information sharing agreement. Under the agreement, Royal Mail has provided data to the Claimant in respect of the matters forming the basis of these proceedings. The Claimant requires more time to consider this data and reconcile it against their own records. The Claimant may need to seek clarification and assurances from Royal Mail before they can be confident the data is correct and relevant to the proceedings i.e. available to be submitted as evidence. 4) The Claimant's witness is currently out of the office on annual leave and this was not relayed to DWF Law until after the event which has caused a further unfortunate delay. 5) The Court has directed parties to file and serve any evidence upon which they intend to rely not later than 14- days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 6 June 2024. Regrettably, the Claimant will have insufficient time to finalise their witness evidence and supporting exhibits as directed. We therefore respectfully apply to extend the time for filing/serving evidence so that the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely by filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 13 June 2024. 6) This application is a pre-emptive one for an extension of time made prior to the expiry of the deadline. In considering the application, the Court is required to exercise its broad case management powers and consider the overriding objective. 7) In circumstances where applications are made in time, the Court should be reticent to refuse reasonable applications for extensions of time which neither imperil hearing dates nor disrupt proceedings, pursuant to Hallam Estates v Baker [2014] EWCA Civ 661. 😎 It is respectfully submitted that the application is made pursuant to the provisions of CPR 3.1(2)(a) and in accordance with the overriding objective to ensure the parties are on an equal footing when presenting their cases to the Court. The requested extension of time does not put the hearing at risk and granting the Application will not be disruptive to the proceedings.

    • 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.

Evidence collection is the only reason. They don't just call people in on a whim, they need evidence to put to you prior to an IUC.

They called me in because a computer flagged up red against my name. They had two addresses and they thought I was signing on from 2 different addresses. I told Job centre 4 different times of my new address.

I have had a lot of contact with my housing officer due to rent payments and checks as I only moved in this property last November and nothing was said. I explained to my housing officer that my partner would be moving in at some point but not until his custody battle with his ex was dealt with. My partner has spent time here n yes I admit he has stopped the odd night before declaring that he had moved in but I don't see how that's different to any1 else coz he wasnt stopping every night as he lived with his mother n yes he did come before work in the morning and after work n stay til the evening to help me out with my children more so when I became I'll in march. I do have his bank statements sent to this address due to me using his bank account as I haven't got 1 coz I was declared bankrupt last may so was unable to open 1.. About a month before he moved in he started to change his address details 4 his mail but that was only so he could ensure that he received his mailatmy address.. I really don't understand why this has come about 2 months after us declaring and not before!

Get a letter from your bf saying when he moved in also get a letter from his mum, The DWP/ council get a bonus for catching people for benefit fraud but innocent are getting accused when they done nothing wrong. whens your interview what date ? Go to the C.A.B for advise. I got a solicitor for my case as I didn't know what I had done wrong and they hardly put anything in the letter they sent. I think its bad you can not get legal aid and they only gave me 5days before my interview.

I received the letter Friday midday calling me in for an interview on Monday 22nd @11am so they haven't even given me the chance to speak to a solicitor ect. My partner had recently fell out with his mother so that could be difficult :-/..

I have always been honest and hardworking I av never received benefits by not declaring information. I personally think that my partners ex has made the allegation due to her child support being dropped as now my partner provides for us now.

see I would mention this as well. I think it way to easy to accuse someone of fraud. Call a solicitor I rang one at night time and they got back in touch. Please don't go by yourself. See I had to borrow £600 for a solicitor. Have they stopped your benefit? .Its bad how long they give you. I couldn't sleep for 5days and still in hell. I've also always been honest. I thinking off going to my local MP as I've been treated like dirt and all I got was a apology. They still haven't sorted my housing payments out or council tax.

You wont go to court for a overpayment of £1,800

 

It is highly likely that you will if you fail to attend an IUC, and the LA have enough evidence to prosecute, which is sounds like they do.

It is bad that we can no get legal aid for this. They do it on purpose because they know a lot of people are not going to be able to get the support in the little time they give you and also they know not going to have funds :sad:. Make sure you have someone with you even if its just a friend.

You could just ring them and ask to postpone/rearrange for a later date so you can get legal advice. Not rocket science.

 

I don't think mick57 has a clue about IUC's or fraud investigations to be honest.

I don't have a clue lol I was at an interview Thursday. You can get legal advise where did I state you couldn't ? You can not get legal aid for a interview so you can not have a solicitor come with you for free.

All I can say is they have an awful lot of evidence that you were living together. A friend of mine was prosecuted and now owes £34,000 to the DWP/LA, the Tribunal held that they believed that her partner never slept at her house but that there was an emotional connection, he regularly helped with the children within the home and most importantly their finances were mixed. All of those things are the case with you.

 

It takes a while for the agencies to gather their evidence, hence taking their time before contacting you.

 

I would get yourself a solicitor and take them with you to the IUC.
