    • There's no facility for a settlement "out of court" as such. But matters that are started under the "Single Justice" (SJ) Procedure can often be concluded without the defendant appearing. The SJ procedure, as the name suggests, involves a single magistrate, sitting in an office with a legal advisor, dealing with matters "on papers" only. Nobody else can attend. The SJ deals with straightforward guilty pleas. Anything where the SJ believes the defendant should appear, or which should be dealt with by the "ordinary" court are adjourned o a hearing in the normal magistrates'  court .As well as this, all defendants have the right to a hearing in the normal court if they wish. Nobody is forced to have their case heard under he SJP.  In particular, as far as traffic matters go, a SJ will not disqualify a driver and if a ban is to be considered, the case will be passed over to the normal court. Because, following your SD, you will be pleading Not Guilty (and offering the "deal"), your case would usually be heard in the normal court, meaning a personal appearance. To be honest, performing your SD at the court is a more straightforward way of doing things. It avoids any possible hitches involved in serving he SD on the court. But of course, as I said, most courts have backlogs which mean an SD may not be quickly accommodated. If you do end up doing your SD before a solicitor, check with them the protocol for serving it on the court. Do let us know what the solicitor says about Wednesday.

    • Quotes of the day penny mordaunt came out swinging with her broadsword, and promptly decapitated sunak while Nigel Farage, representing Reform UK, made contentious claims about immigration policies, which were swiftly fact-checked during the debate.   Good question though raised at labour about the 2 child benefit cap, which I broadly agree with, but the tory 'trap' assumes tory thinking - rather than child centric thinking. There should be no incentives to have kids as a financial way of life paid for by everyone else ... ... BUT the kids should not be made to suffer for the decisions of their parents Free school meals would feed the kids, improve their ability to learn, and incentivise them to go to school. As an added benefit ... it would invest in our nations future.   How far this should go is a matter for costing, social intent and future path of the nation, but not feeding our nations kids is an abomination. There should be at least one free school meal per day for every child who attends school. Full Stop. Its the cheapest and most effective investment in our future we could make.
    • Hey people, I've been browsing this amazing forum for the past year and recieved a letter today which has made me require some help. Received a claim form from Cabot in the Civil National Business Centre in regards to an Aqua Credit Card taken out in 2018. I failed to make payments due to financial hardship and have not taken out any credit or uses any forms of credit since. Received a lot of letters from Cabot and their solicitors Mortimer Clarke which I've ignored    By an agreement between New Day Ltd RE Aqua& the Defendant on or around 26/03/2018 ('ths Agreement) New Day Ltd RE Aqua agreed to issue Defendant with a credit card. The Defendant failed to make the minimum payments due. The Agreement was terminated following the service of a default notice. The Agreement was assigned to the named Claimant. Cabot Credit Management Group Limited, acting as servicing agent of the named Claimant through its Appointed Representative (Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited), has arranged for these proceedings to be issued in the name of the Claimant. The named Claimant may be entitled to claim interest under the Agreement but does not seek such interest and instead claims interest under Section 69(1) of the County Courts Act 1984 at 8% p.a.from03/03/2023 until date of issue only, or alternatively such interest as the Court thinks fit THE NAMED CLAIMANT THEREFORE CLAIMS 1. 3800.82 2. INTEREST OF 379.84 3. Costs How would I go about this and what could happen? I don't remember much details about the card either.
    • cause like you said in post one, 99% of people think these are FINES (it now reads charge). and wet themselves and cough up. they are not, they are speculative invoices because the driver supposedly broke some imaginary contract by driving onto privately owned land which said owner may or may not have signed some 99% fake contract with a private parking co years ago, thats already expired or has not been renewed or annually paid to employ them 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.

I was a passenger in car tday and stopping in the London traffic in Holloway heard an accordian and recognised the Godfather theme being played. I looked over and the musician was sitting underneath wall art image of the PM. Wonder if it's a Banksy ref Don Con. Interesting seeing people's thoughts.

 

A programme coming on Channel 4 being advertised called Humans. Is this the plan to create humanoids, compliant, efficient, to curb the population of the world which science says the planet will not be able to sustain.

 

 

Amazing spaces gr8 places. Inspiring watch.

They cut Nurse numbers and wonder why agency spending has risen. I remember all this in the 80's same ol' same ol'

 

Right now thinking outside the box, not an expert on all the tech available to create renewable energy but let's say solar panels on hospitals, fitting systems where if you are not in a room the light goes off, all waste burnt goes to companies who can create energy from the source and those companies pay some back to the NHS.

Every time I look at a newspaper there is a story about another sink hole ? Is this something new or is the planet falling apart ?

 

If the planet has been mined so much and oil/gas extracted, surely this must affect the stability of the planet. Or do they fill in the areas where extraction has taken place ?

We could do with some help from you.

I was reading Interestrateripoff posts and you can understand how globalisation is a phenonema which is changing amidst the lack of confidence between nations. Reasons why gold being used for trade instead of transferring numbers from one account to another. After the hell hole scenario you just can't trust the system. Countries want something that exists in a solid state, the disappearing act is made harder that way.

 

Coincidence the 'leak' came at same time PM wanting to show muscle at EU Summit. Gr8 PR, hey, we are also looking at how we can exit so there! It's an interesting club so for now it's a good watch.

 

Getting that feel of divide and conquer again. Lot of that in the 80's. Selling off housing assoc homes and taking staff benefits away from train companies. Both topics will stir up one opinion against another. With the housing proposal, makes you wonder about the London social cleansing as people could offer money bribes to tenants so they buy their homes and then sell them to that person with the dosh. Wonder if that really is far fetched. With the rail staff benefits, that's to stoke up anti union feeling mmm she didn't quite finish them all off last time so we're in for another attempt. Totally hypocritical, most public sector workers belong to a union and have perks. Read article below.

 

Article by Littlejohn tday Daily Male:madgrin: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-3096783/RICHARD-LITTLEJOHN-Everybody-gravy-train-blundering-child-protection-chief-gets-six-figure-redundancy-package-strolls-lucrative-consultancy-department.html

 

NHS cuts mentioned part way down article see the surgeons holding a B&Q bag.

 

As you read down you will come across this 'Dame Carol said there was 'undoubtably a correlation' between the extended length of time Government staff receive full pay and benefits while off sick and the scale of their absenteeism'

 

but the Cabinet office refused to investigate the link because it was a 'political hot potato.'

My hope is that one day we will not have a Queens speech or a Kings speech. Britain should be able to move on to having a full democracy where the Head of State is elected. I don't care for the argument that we should not try to fix something that works. Many people are very fond of Queen Elizabeth, but they may not feel the same way about King Charles and Queen Camilla when they are sat on the thrones in parliament delivering the Kings speech.

 

We all know that the royal family and a powerful elite have too much influence on the UK, but we are reluctant to change, for fear of who would replace them. The answer is that in a modern world you need more leaders and more democracy, which is why it is inevitable that the UK will split into a federal arrangement and England will have regional government. There will also probably be more referendums with online voting.

Selling off housing assoc homes in the spotlight but not hearing about new affordable rental homes being built. It is not right or fair renting is veering towards private landlords. There should be adequate choice.

If Greece set up a website selling celebratory pots of taramasalata, help keep us in Europe campaign, £2 a time, would help. If every one in the world bought a £4 pack of goodies say the above plus a £2 pot of olives could be a part payment. They are in big doo doo as it would be £40 from practically everyone in the world to wipe out their debt.

 

Now, our debt is iro £4.8 tril. £78k on each of our heads.

Countries have always had debts, as the world economic system runs on debt ? What is really different about the current situation ?

 

Can I suggest that reducing natural resources, increased populations, technology replacing human jobs and globalisation has a lot to do with it. Greece has always been a poor country, but they managed to get by, with low paid jobs and income from being a major holiday destination. Due to issues mentioned and global financial crisis affecting them, the weaknesses in their economy have hit them hard.

 

Greece needs to leave the Euro and start to find ways to generate money. They could attract foreign investors, who might like to build a new resorts, with holiday homes and leisure facilities. This creates building site jobs and jobs in the new resorts when they are up and running. Greece may need to sell off land to developers at a rate that is attractive, to attract investment. There are very rich Greeks living in London and Monaco, who might be willing to invest.

Yes this Russian connection keeps cropping up. As Uncle B says they really do need to push their tourism industry. A fabulous country to enjoy.

Now it seems the rail project is on hold, and it turns out this was well known before the election. We didn't hear about that.

 

No substance in the answers given by Amber Rudd on Question Time tnite. Load of waffle and the audience made her aware of that. I bet Mr C is glad he's bailing out in next couple of years.

I heard the Houses of Parliament are so leaky, someone sitting at their desk, laptop open, feels a drip:madgrin: of water, then more drips on the keyboard. Looks up to see source of the drips. It is discovered it's wee dripping from the leaky mens loos!

 

PC wee:madgrin::madgrin:

 

 

I hope money belonging to the UK has not been overly exposed to lending cash to Greece. Was it Goldman Sachs who were paid money to complete a report as to whether Greece complied with the criteria to join EU. Not sure how they managed to get a yes on that as like some of us who have previously posted on this issue, would have said they don't fit the criteria. Must have been another reason for entry, lots of armery maybe? Who knows the name of the game.

 

 

Keep hearing the murderers in Tunisia were on the radar. Once on don't take off, or ignore. We all need to be vigilant as we go about our business as the murderers are always looking for opportunities.

 

There was a strange man arrested in Watford in the last month dressed in a Burka carrying an unexploded device. I haven't heard anymore on that. Someone noticed he was acting strangly and it was acted upon. I've also heard there was an anti western protest march in Luton ystday.
