    • I have had no such luck getting the tickets cancelled. So more help would be greatly appreciated. I have debt recovery letters now. I guess I ignore these and only respond when there is court proceedings?
    • On MCOL there are 2 times the case stay is lifted. Once between filing the defence and them submitting a DQ, and then again between them submitting the DQ and the court issuing one to the defendant.   Is that normal or is there anything I should be aware of?   Thanks as always 
    • It's difficult to advise what to do because there are so many ifs and buts. In the majority of cases where a PPC start a court claim they go all the way to the final hearing. However, in a minority of cases, and by no means a tiny minority, they have no real intention of going all the way to a final hearing. They know their case is rubbish and they know it will cost them a hefty wad to send a solicitor to court (remember solicitors' costs are capped at £50 at small claims).  They pretend they are going all the way to court to intimidate the motorist into giving in.  Yes, the pretence often includes paying the hearing fee.  Yes, UKPC often do this.  And no, they haven't produced a WS (so far). I suppose it depends on how much you have spent on flights (and accommodation?) and if this is refundable v the approx £250 at stake if you lose the case.

    • 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.

Yeh but on the day ive heard they can say well chucks your right he did discriminate but u didnt tick that box so u aint gettin jack :(

 

You said earlier in the thread it was breach of contract. Is it that or discrimination? I am confused! Best speak to a lawyer I think.

 

Also I have never heard a judge call anyone "chuck" or use the phrase "getting jack." Hmm. Turn of phrase sounds familiar tho. Have you been here before?

I'm confused.

 

It won't matter if you ticked the wrong box, the problem would be if you claimed discrimination or what ever you are claiming and you used the wrong section of the act.

 

Not trying to be rude, but I don't think you will be able to win this if you are representing yourself.

Obviously, it is impossible for us to advise if you have ticked the right box without understanding what your case is about. You do not seem to want to give us that information.

 

I can understand that, but it does mean you had best pay for a solicitor who you can talk to in confidence.

 

Good luck, will be interested to hear how you get on.

There is a difference between wrongful dismissal and unfair dismissal. The former used to be dealt with in a different civil court and is limited to the sum of money owed. Now it can be brought either before a the tribunal or a civil court, although the tribunal has a £25K cap.

Does this help at all ?

 

 

In United Kingdom law, the concept of "wrongful dismissal" refers exclusively to dismissal contrary to the contract of employment, which effectively means premature termination, either due to insufficient notice or lack of grounds.

Unfair dismissal is the term used in UK labour law to describe an employer's action when terminating an employee's employment contrary to the requirements of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It is automatically unfair for an employer to dismiss an employee, regardless of length of service, for a reason related to discrimination protected by the Equality Act 2010, becoming pregnant, or having previously asserted certain specified employment rights. Otherwise, an employee must have worked for a year to have the right against unfair dismissal (2 years if the employment started on or after 6 April 2012[1]). This means an employer only terminates an employee's job lawfully if the employer follows a fair procedure, acts reasonably and has a fair reason. Fair reasons for dismissal are,

 

  • A reason related to the employee's conduct
  • A reason related to the employee's capability or qualifications for the job
  • Because the employee's job was redundant
  • Because a statutory duty or restriction prohibited the employment being continued
  • Some other substantial reason of a kind which justifies the dismissal.

The reason for dismissal will rarely be the basis for a successful unfair dismissal claim, as a Tribunal is not allowed to substitute its view of what is reasonable for that of the employer. The Employment Tribunal will judge the reasonableness of the employer's decision to dismiss on the standard of a "band of reasonable responses" assessing whether the employer's decision was one which falls outside the range of reasonable responses of reasonable employers

How does following the ACAS code work?

 

I have received the pack that had been forwarded to appeals manager for my appeal

 

I had never seen the initial notes of discussion before therefore I had never been able to sign them to agree the true reflection of the interview notes which after reading them I do not agree that they are a true reflection .

 

but its to late now , i explained to the appeals manager i had never seen these notes before and they was full of lies.

 

So is that ok for them to do that.

 

btw i have lost my appeal

what discussion was this?

 

The discussion was the first interview a questions and answers discussion asking what happened etc after that we had fact finding interview . in which i replied that i did not find that interview as an accurate account as to what was said either.

 

Its funny how i got sent these notes to check over but not the initial (1st) interview.so i feel hard done by

What i don't get is that if this was not important enough for me to check/sign then how is it important enough for it to be used as evidence at appeal? this was minutes of a meeting . i thought everything needs to be checked by me?

DO u know the acas dismissal procedures?

 

Yes, and I know they are guidelines, not law, and the first port of call is your employers internal procedure.

Should an appeals manager automatically believe a managers story? if it is being questioned by the employee that he is lying then should the appeals manager ask for witness statement/interview?

 

If the manager is credible with no holes in his story then why would they not?

 

The measure here is who to believe on "balance of probability" - a much lower standard than if you were eg on trial for a criminal offence.

yes emmzzi as you know the conduct IS is a criminal offence so would that be a higher standard or still on balance pf probability

 

Holes in the story? Its a sham investigation if the accused has no holes in his story either .

yes smoke the job i was doing considers that if i did not complete the job and under certain conditions ie not telling anyone that the job was not done so they coudl arrange for it to eb done , then it can be criminal offence. ps no ones life is at risk dont worry lol

 

SO the point im making is should there of been a full and thorough investigation by my employer not just balance of probability . and my accusations ignored when they could of been checked ie CCTV at no expense of the employer
