    • Oh I see! thats confusing, for some reason the terms and conditions that Evri posted in that threads witness statement are slightly different than the t&cs on packlinks website. Their one says enter into a contract with the transport agency, but the website one says enter into a contract with paclink. via website: (c) Each User will enter into a contract with Packlink for the delivery of its Goods through the chosen Transport Agency. via evri witness statement in that thread: (c) Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency I read your post at #251, so I should use the second one (and changing the screenshot in the court bundle), since I am saying I have a contract with Evri? Is that correct EDIT: Oh I understand the rest of your conversation. you're saying if I was to do this i would have to fully adjust my ws to use the consumer rights act instead of rights of third parties. In that case should I just edit the terms and stick with the third parties plan?. And potentially if needed just bring up the CRA in the hearing, as you guys did in that thread  
    • First, those are the wrong terms,  read posts 240-250 of the thread ive linked to Second donough v stevenson should be more expanded. You should make refernece to the three fold duty of care test as well. Use below as guidance: The Defendant failed its duty of care to the Claimant. As found in Donoghue v Stevenson negligence is distinct and separate to any breach of contract. Furthermore, as held in the same case there need not be a contract between the Claimant and the Defendant for a duty to be established, which in the case of the Claimant on this occasion is the Defendant’s duty of care to the Claimant’s parcel whilst it is in their possession. By losing the Claimant’s parcel the Defendant has acted negligently and breached this duty of care. As such the Claimant avers that even if it is found that the Defendant not be liable in other ways, by means of breach of contract, should the court find there is no contract between Claimant and Defendant, the Claimant would still have rise to a claim on the grounds of the Defendant’s negligence and breach of duty of care to his parcel whilst it was in the Defendant’s possession, as there need not be a contract to give rise to a claim for breach of duty of care.  The court’s attention is further drawn to Caparo Industries plc v Dickman (1990), 2 AC 605 in which a three fold test was used to determine if a duty of care existed. The test required that: (i) Harm must be a reasonably foreseeable result of the defendant’s conduct; (ii) A relationship of proximity must exist and (iii) It must be fair, just and reasonable to impose liability.  
    • Thank you. here's the changes I made 1) removed indexed statement of truth 2) added donough v Stevenson in paragraph 40, just under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 paragraph about reasonable care and skill. i'm assuming this is a good place for it? 3) reworded paragraph 16 (now paragraph 12), and moved the t&cs paragraphs below it then. unless I understood you wrong it seems to fit well. or did you want me to remove the t&cs paragraphs entirely? attached is the updated draft, and thanks again for the help.

    • 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.

Hi I'm doing a 6 months course and have been told by the college I'm starting my course at that JOBCENTRE will pay for my fares there and back. I kept all my fares and gave them to the Jobcentre 2 weeks ago.

Jobcentre said they will NOT pay my fares and it cost me LOTS! I can't afford to pay for this course back and fourth.

 

They put me on this course so why am I paying for it?!

They wouldn't pay my daughter's fares either, even though they told her she HAD to attend. They also wouldn't pay for after-school care for her son, they said they don't pay for that, meaning every day she would miss half the session because she'd have to leave at 2!

Job center is mainly ran by people that were job seekers that could never get a job. I were 6 minutes late for an appointment because a freaking building was falling down up the road and the whole area was cut off. They told me it wasn't a good excuse and docked me £50. Was told off another time for quietly browsing the internet on my phone while waiting for an appointment.

Probably frowned upon the fact you had a phone capable of doing this while on JSA, because we aren't allowed to have ANYTHING like broadband etc as we don't need it to look for (fake) jobs do we?!

Those of us who have worked or now work for JCP could really do without this attitude, thanks - we offer advice here in our free time and we get quite enough of that kind of stuff at work.

 

It's not permitted to use a mobile in the Jobcentre - a rule that I agree is ridiculous.

They referred me to this course if that's what u mean?

 

If not attending the course would put your benefits at risk of sanction then they should be paying your fares.

Wonder who thought that one up? I can understand the JC not wanting people yakking away on their mobiles and causing noise - that annoys me too - but as the average JS Agreement requires claimants to be 'available for work at all times' they're rather shooting themselves in the foot with their 'no mobiles' rule.

 

I often sit and do Sudoku on my mobile while enduring the usual 10-minute delay to be seen. If I was ever challenged I'd say I was 'keeping my mathematical skills up to date in order to maintain my employability' :)

I used my mobile constantly for email, internet and playing games (no sound) whilst waiting for appointments in the past in front of advisers and other members of staff including security for a year at JCP and now at my WP - never been told to not use it

The rules are not applied consistently - mainly I suspect it's because the security staff who enforce the rules are not directly employed by JCP.

Not applied consistently from one office to the next, or from one day to another !

 

Used to regularly go in to my local office with a walking stick without any problem. One day, a "security" goon took exception because the stick had a sharp pointy end... Told him he would like the contents of my bag even less if he thought my stick was an offensive weapon. "In that case, I will have to search your bag"...

 

Pointed out that he had neither the authority or power to search anyone, and if he wished to engage in an illegal activity, I would have no option but to call the police.

Yes, I think these guys forget that they are operating in government offices. I mean, if you go to Asda or somewhere, well, that's private property and they can enforce whatever silly rules they like. JCP is a bit different.

Only a police officer (not a PCSO) has the legal powers to search someone, and even then, there are a limited set of circumstances they can do so. A private "security" guard, regardless of where he/she is operating, has no more rights than you or I.

 

They can ask someone not to drink, use a mobile phone, or refrain from any other "banned" activity. They can even ask someone to leave the premises, but they can not restrain or touch you - To do so would be assault.

 

Breaking up a fight or interceding in an altercation is slightly different - There is such a defence as "reasonable force" in such situations, but it is a fine line between "reasonable" and "excessive".

Hi everyone!

 

I was just wondering how long it takes usually for ur travel money to be paid back by the Jobcentre. I was supposed to be paid back on Wednesday and I'm STILL waiting for it to be in my bank!

 

Jobcentre are NOW paying for my travel after nearly begging them too!!!!

For a part time course I'm now on.

2 weeks ago it was paid in with my JSA but this time I'm still waiting for it. I signed the form thing for the travel sheet and b4 it used to take 3 days but now bit worried. They have my recpeits so maybe im worrying over nothing? Or they lost the sheet :/:jaw:

You should get in via petty cash as soon as you produce the travel document which they can copy. If they MAN'ed you to go on a course they should have provided the money or the travel ticket for you in advance otherwise you are out of pocket - why should you have to wait weeks for money for something they want you to attend and pay out of your benefit money which is designated money to live on?! I'd be having harsh words with your JCP and getting this paid in CASH ASAP

Well said Matt! :whoo:

 

I have been told that I had to go on this course but other time's my travel money has been paid in with my JSA. But didn't so I'm hoping that b4 nxt Wed it will be in or on Tues nxt wk prob I will call up!

 

But I will take notice of wot u said and ask them upfront to pay if i go on another POINTLESS course :madgrin::!:

 

Do they pay other people JSA money in on Fri nights (thought to sat i mean).

In no uncertain terms you say "If I am to go on this course I will need you to provide me with a means of travel i.e. bus or rail ticket BEFORE the first day of the course because if I use my JSA money I won't be able to eat or pay my bills, after all, you tell us this is the money we need to survive on and surviving is not paying for travel out of my own money for a course that YOU want me to go on"

I have a interview in retail next Friday and a friend of mine said that jobcentre should pay for ur interview clothes, shoes and also travel.

 

Is this true? If so I will keep the receipts it would REALLY help me if they do all these!

BUT if you are currently attached to a Work Programme provider, the JCP will expect them to fund these expenses. The best thing to do is to ask the JCP before you have to go to this interview - If they say "no" and you still need a decent suit, it is worth looking in the local charity shops for one.
