    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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 recently,about 3 weeks ago, applied for a position within the company I already work for,was successful and was invited for to attend the interview.

I found out that one applicant was put forward to the interview in the place of an applicant that had with drawn a few days before the interviews.

This new applicant had not gone through the normal application procedure that my company follows.(also not the first time).

This applicant was successful and obtained the position.My line manager informed me it had been between this applicant and myself and she had the edge,

he also told me that if he had 2 jobs available I would have been offered one of them, as I did a very good interview, as consolation price he offered me a 3 month secondment,

the position the other applicant would be leaving now.(maybe more a please keep quiet about this offer)Now this second position,which I would have been given if at time of interviews available has come open.Today i was called in to line managers office, i didn't know about this position until today,when he started informing me I was told that they would use the recent interviews to allocate for the new position.I thought my line manager was sticking to his word from a few weeks ago and give the position to me.already felt happy and exited.Then he dropped the bombshell,it was to be given to someone else, a relief staff member who is male (we currently have 2 male and 8 female staff members and one of the male staff is leaving)and who happens to be friends with one of the senior staff.(also not the first time).Of course I am gutted and feel mistreated.This has happened several times now and I am starting to feel more and more disheartened, depressed, angry, etc,.. I can't help but feeling this is all so illegal and out side procedures, but what can i do with out putting my job that i hold now at risk, or at least, it would be awkward to attend work if do take action, and is there anything at all i could do?Am i within my rights to put in a complaint?

Thanks,

Can I ask whether the company is private or public sector and how many people were there on the interview panel?

I have been there and experience tell me that without enough evidence its very unlikely that the practice is challengeable legally or by a complaint.

 

It would be much better for now to take care of yourself and concentrate on other things that you enjoy. Get out of the office at lunch for a walk, meditate.join a gym etc and eat healthy. Try to stay positive and instead of complaining possibly have a chat and let your manager know how you feel and your concerns (By now they may have already picked up you are not happy). If your job is at risk with a more collaborative approach it could turn positive however with a complaint be prepared for the worst.

 

Remember also there is life beyond unhappy work and it could be alarm bells to seek suitable opportunities elsewhere.

 

I would recommend Moodgym for CBT and positive thinking if you feeling depressed and really low because of work.

 

Take Care

Hi, it is public sector and there were two people on the interview panel. Im not a complainer and have kept quiet in the past,this is not the first time this has happened to me and indeed other people, I have spoken to my boss about how i made me feel and it did not make a difference, these last underhanded dealings have cost me at least 3 good chances on bettering my position with in the company, financially and working under better healthier circumstances as at the moment I'm only temp moved in to the' consolation price ', after that I will be expected to return to my old position of working wake in nights,which gets harder and harder as time goes by,the job isn't easy we often have to put our selves at risk, and support is very much lacking, my boss thinks I'm excellent in that job role but i know i have more to give and so does he by the way I am getting bored and unhappy in that role because of that,jobs are not easy to find as it is, but i would have thought my boss would at least know what im worth and give me a fair chance because of that.T just seems to me that its not what you know but who you know, as for proof i was given a list of applicants with dates and times, this person,who got it was not on the list of interviewees 5 days before the interview date was announced,she appeared on that list 2 days before and that happened to be not a list coming from HR
