    • I have received an email in the last 10 minutes 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  It also includes a "Notice of Hearing" stating that the application hearing will take place on 13th June at 10.00am.  Confused as to whether I need to attend this ?
    • I've received this notice to keeper. I work for the NHS and was delayed due to patient care. I park here regular and and have never had any issues. I've looked at the evidence on the portal and other than showing that i entered at 12.59.33 and departed at 17:14:14 it doesn't state how long i overstayed for. I paid for 4 hours parking over the phone which i wont have done till i got parked but as its over the phone i have no receipt or record but it is not possible for me to have been in excess of 15mins from the photos alone but I'm unsure having read other threads whether grace periods are 10 or 15 minutes. I havent appealed yet but and was about to but in appealing i'm showing i'm the driver which i gather is something you state we must never do. I don't like confrontation but £60 seems extortionate. Hope you can help. 🤞 1 Date of the infringement 30th May 2024 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 30th May 2024 [scan up BOTH SIDES as ONE PDF- follow the upload guide] please LEAVE IN LOCATION AND ALL DATES/TIMES/£'s 3 Date received 5th June 2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] No reference to schedule 4 just says"...we the creditor reserve the right to recover unpaid parking charges from the registered keeper in accordance with POFA 2012." 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up NA 7 Who is the parking company? Carpark securities 8.

    • It never seems to amaze me how the chuckleheads think that No Stopping can ever offer a contract when it is prohibitory. In any case you did not accept the contract by entering the land, you entered the land to get to the airport for goodness sake. In most car parks there is a Consideration period that allows motorists to decide whether they want to stay in the car park . Here on a road, there is no consideration period and whether the motorist finds the terms agreeable or not even assuming that they are able to understand that they are being hoodwinked into believing they are being offered a  contract they cannot turn back. They have a plane to catch and even if they did turn back because they didn't accept the  No Stopping term of   the so called contract they would still have had to stop to turn around. Plus there is a question of Frustration of Contract. You had to stop at a pedestrian crossing .    
    • Just a couple paragraphs their WS that it might be useful to refer to specifically in the OP's WS... Para 6 A contract was formed with "the driver" of the vehicle. Para 8 "The driver" accepted the contract. (The "driver" is not named, or identified anywhere in the WS). Para 7 WHY would there ever be a "no stopping" restriction in a car park? (In Para 10, they specify that it is a "car park"). Para 11 "The Defendant" became liable." Again, they have not shown that the Defendant was "the driver", simply the keeper. Para 20 "It is a matter of agreement"? Not really sure what they're trying to say here...
    • Thank you for relying so quickly! That is what I had concluded was the reality of the situation.. I'm still waiting for the call within my time slot.. I will try to fill this thread with more info, find original letters and show the docs of the pack I was sent, a pack with no real covering letter to show what it was in response to or from whom..

    • 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.

hiya. i have received a letter from the council saying i need to attend an interview under caution but it does not identify what it is for. i put a claim in for housing benefit in april about a previous address and didn't here anything about it for months. i moved out of that house in july back to my parents house which i informed them about. but now i have moved into a different house and put a new claim in they have sent me this letter for both this address and my previous one. hope this makes sense and i hope someone can help me. thanks in advance Christie

You are under NO legal obligation to "Turn up for an interview under caution".

 

Personally and purely IMO I would want to know Exactly why they want me to attend. But that is purely my own opinion, your circumstances will be very different to mine.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

I agree you should seek clarification before considering to turn up for an interview under caution. I suspect however they will not process your new claim and may say that you were trying to claim for more than one property and they didn't receive any notification from you of your change of address. Speak to the Citizens Advice Bureau and take any proof of your correspondence with you to them. I wouldn't go for an interview under caution without legal representation. Being cautioned means they suspect you of an offence.

I would send them a letter politely refusing their invitation untill they can explain completely what it is about. Also mention that if you do consent sometime in the future to come in for an interview you will want your expenses paid.

Then send them a letter fully explaining what happened and also explain that you did inform them of a change of residence

They might tell you the type of offence, but won't discuss anything else outside of the IUC. The only way to get any further info is via a solicitor who can ask for disclosure prior to the IUC, there's no obligation on the investigator to do this, but depending on the case most will.

 

Also mention that if you do consent sometime in the future to come in for an interview you will want your expenses paid.

Expenses are not paid for an IUC. It's part of a criminal investigation.

 

The worst case scenario for not attending an IUC is an early morning knock on the door from the police. Again it depends on the case & the DWP tend to do this more than Councils, but this can differ from area to area.

 

From the original thread I presume HB has been paid past the change of address in July up to the recent new claim. Bank statements will show if this is correct & how much the overpayment is likely to be.

They have to tell you why they have invited you in for an interview.

 

They do not have to pay expenses for you to attend. Also if you do not attend they can either issue an arrest warrant to the police in order to interview you or just send the case to court, which is what our council does if a person does not attend any of the 3 appointments offered. Some councils and the DWP have a 1 letter policy.

 

I would call them and ask what the allegation is, they will or should not question you over the telephone unless they caution you first.

This appears to be a council only investigation, but the last DWP IUC invite letter I saw made no mention of the type of offence.

 

Yes they don't always put the allegation on the letters, but I am sure it is a requirement of PACE etc.

They havnt payed me a penny from the first claim wich I put in in april and the tennancy ended in july which I told them about as I filled a letter and a form in stating that I moved back to the parents. So I keep on calling them to see if the claim had been sorted and they say its not yet been finalised. But now I moved into this house and put a claim in they seem to think I may have committed an offence. Its reckin my head trying to think what I have done. I rang up yesterday to see what it was aboyt but they cannot discuss it over the phone :/

Well, the most sensible suggestion would be to seek professional legal advice. An IUC can be postponed to allow one to do this.

 

It would generally be a bad idea to simply refuse to attend, unless this refusal is on the advice of a solicitor experienced in benefit matters.

Yes apologies!

I was being flippant, but it just irritates me the amount of 'sleeper cells' who impart impractical advice!

 

To attend any IUC without knowing the reason why, is IMO, foolish.

If it is that serious, then plod will turn up o your doorstep to take you away.

Anything other than that, IMO warrants clarification as to what they are wishing to force you to convict yourself of.

 

Does the IUC warrant you obtaining legal representation?

Does it warrant you remaining silent?

Does it warrant you demanding to know exactly what Law they are attempting to enforce?

Does it even warrant you giving them the time of day!

 

But I am very pig headed, and do not blindly submit to some others so called 'authority'....however antone's advice is grounded and is what I would follow.

:tea:

bazooka boo,have you ever been to an IUC?,probably not,you would be too busy ranting on about sleeper cells,if you go along to the IUC they will soon tell you what it is about,they do give you the opportunity to leave the interview at anytime you want,the only way you will know what it is about beforehand is by getting a solicitor to contact the council for you,I suppose you could just bury your head in the sand but it wont do you no good in the long run!

I tried ringing them but they cant discuss it over the phone. And I'm not bothered about travel expenses its only down road from me

 

Ring them again and just say I don't want to discuss it, I just want to now what the allegation is as per PACE guidelines so I can decide if I need to seek legal advice. They have to tell you what the allegation is, prior to the IUC.
