    • The Contract itself The airport is actually owned by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan. There should be an authority from them for Bristol airport group  to sign on their behalf. Without it the contract is invalid. The contract has so many  clauses redacted that it is questionable as to its fairness with regard to the Defendants ability to receive a fair trial. In the case of WH Holding Ltd, West Ham United Football Club Ltd -v- E20 Stadium LLP [2018],  In reaching its decision, the Court gave a clear warning to parties involved in litigation: ‘given the difficulties and suspicions to which extensive redaction inevitably gives rise, parties who decide to adopt such an appropriate in disclosure must take enhanced care to ensure that such redactions are accurately made, and must be prepared to suffer costs consequences if they are not’. The contract is also invalid as the signatories are required to have their signatures cosigned by independent witnesses. There is obviously a question of the date of the signatures not being signed until 16 days after the start of the contract. There is a question too about the photographs. They are supposed to be contemporaneous not taken several months before when the signage may have been different or have moved or damaged since then. The DEfendant respectfully asks the Court therefore to treat the contract as invalid or void. With no contract there can be no breach. Indeed even were the contract regarded as valid there would be no breach It is hard to understand why this case was brought to Court as there appears to be no reasonable cause to apply to the DVLA.............
    • Danny - point taken about the blue paragraphs.  Including them doesn't harm your case in any way.  It makes no odds.  It's just that over the years we've had judges often remarking on how concise & clear Caggers' WSs have been compared to the Encyclopaedia Britannica-length rubbish that the PPCs send, so I always have a slight preference to cut out anything necessary. Don't send off the WS straight away .. you have plenty of time ... and let's just say that LFI is the Contract King so give him a couple of days to look through it with a fine-tooth comb.
    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.

    • 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.

Thoughts in your day


Recommended Posts

I was trying to find a photo I had of something similar I found under the bedroom floorboards, done before I moved in here. The fellow had laid carpet, then put in built-in wardrobes on top. I needed to recarpet so once the old carpet and underlay had all been removed I set about screwing down floor boards which 'squeaked' before the new carpet was laid.

 

Curious as to the condition under the floor and being an old 1860's house I thought I'd explore so whipped a couple of boards up only to find that prior to the fitted wardrobes being fitted there was a socket installed on the wall as part of the ring-main which had a feed taken from it and connected to the gas boiler which sits in the end cupboard/wardrobe.

 

What he'd done is taken the face plate (the bit we can see with the on/off switch on and the 3 holes for a plug) from the wall socket and stuffed the wires to the boiler into the connection - effectively running a spur off the ring main but rather than putting in a junction box the proper way, he left the face plate with all the wires laying face-down and exposed without any insulation or cover (back-box even removed) and left it flying in the wind right underneath the water pipes to the shower room.

 

That was an expensive late-night call-out job to get an electrician in to rewire it all properly before the carpet fitters came the next day!

 

I'd be interested to know how you established the amount of leakage labrat as we have a similar situation in the kitchen. Every time I touch the microwave, I can feel the discharge of electricity through it. Not much, but it tingles and I don't trust this cowboy of a previous owner not to have done something similar to yours somewhere although to be honest, the wiring in the loft feeding the top-half of the house looks like it was done quiet professionally. It's the jobsworth who did the odd jobs after the professionals had installed the rewire I don't trust.

 

How did you work out the leakage?

 

cowboys always cost us a fortune don't they?

What kind of meter did you use? Was it just a volt meter? I've got one of those but haven't a clue how to use it...maybe I'll have to get another electrician to look at it.

What about a Labour Lottery for the many not the few:-o Much smaller amounts of money for tickets could be 50p or less spreading the weekly pot over many people. National lottery now £2 odds are low to win.

 

Food for thought for a vote on that.

the lottery is a rip, unless of course you win.

it is a business, and they wldn't be giving away the likes of 1m to 20m plus etc unless they were in profit, despite the contributions to 'good causes'.

as you suggest, make it not for profit. and/or reduce the odds. it'll then be seen that the jackpot is reduced accordingly.

Ryanair unacceptable attitude to this debacle does not surprise me. Mr M O'Leary came across to me in interviews as my way or the highway. I wouldn't say a very negotiable type seemed to treat issues with contempt. It makes me wonder all this bluster from the Ryanair side is a smoke screen and delay tactics for going out of business. Bankrupt? difficult for customers to get recompense then.

 

Ryanair should be made to refund or whatever the consumer rights are in each case now.

 

The cockpits look cramped to me, back of pilot chair nearly touching the door.

A twist in the tale. Monarch looking rocky. Will Mr O'L poach their pilots? Offer to buy the planes at a knock down price? This is presuming Ryanair is very solvent.

lottery expenses a fixed proportion of ticket cost set at 5% at most so if things go badly for Camelot they are working for free.. Lottery a rip? there is a clue in the name of it.

Smaller prizes, you have to change the way it works as it is all on statistics and trying to fiddle the results doesnt make it equitable. Who would buy into a fixed raffle? The split between prizes and good causes is also set as 50/50 after exes.

I've seen labours new lottery plans, the tickets are 50p and they give prizes of £1 to everyone who says they cant afford a ticket. The rather obviosu shortfall will be made up by forcing people to buy a ticket whether they want one or not.
