    • Post Office scandal expert Moorhead predicts solicitor strike-offs Richard Moorhead, professor of law and professional ethics at the University of Exeter and a prolific writer on the Horizon scandal, said it was ‘highly likely’ that people would be removed from the profession. He added that he also expects one or two individuals to face criminal prosecutions. He was ‘cautiously supportive’ of the Solicitors Regulation Authority's position of waiting until the public inquiry has finished before taking any decisions on disciplinary proceedings, saying the regulator has been doing a lot of investigatory work behind the scenes. But Moorhead said the SRA should provide ‘greater clarity and detail’ about what it is doing currently.   Professor Richard Moorhead predicts strike-offs over Post Office Horizon scandal | Law Gazette WWW.LAWGAZETTE.CO.UK Lawyers have been 'everywhere' in the scandal, Professor Richard Moorhead tells legal ethics conference.

    • Hi Dx, HB can you share the link of Tireddodo's case thread , may be i can learn something from there?  
    • As i don't have any mitigating circumstances other than trying to save pennies, will they fine me to the maximum? What is the maximum fine they will impose? I honestly don't know how many times i use it.  I will get a criminal record which means i can't find another job? Will they prosecute my partner?   
    • Yes. They won't inform your employer but you may need to. You need to check what it says iin your employment contract. I don't think it usually causes huge problems for most people. HB

    • 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.

Yes it is a problem on a few forums, frustrating because it stifles useful informed debate, though as you say this is probably the intent.

 

I am aware that a similar thread was started on LB a few days so and that one too has been disrupted and even closed by the moderator.

 

One of the most common questions that I am asked concerns 'Freeman on the Land' and their obsession with 'debt avoidance'.

 

Quite honestly, there are so many similar types of 'movements' that the internet is simply overwhelmed by the many thousands of sites that 'purport' of offer 'advice but in reality, are seeking to disrupt any means of enforcing a debt. I have been asked to write a media article on this subject and will copy it here in the next few days.

Here we go again, its FMOTL. No reputable publisher will look at your work.

 

Your post 1 is wrong. Dodgeball post 20 is correct. It applies to proceeds of enforcement, and 'enforcement' is defined in law in section 62 of the tce Act.

I will discus the legislation with you, however you will have to start another thread in order to avoid disrupting this one, this one is about the fee and its dispersal by the authority.

Let's just remember the old regulations where issues similar to the ones on this thread were frequently argued.

 

The advice then was to pay the bailiff rather than the council because local authorities would allocate any monies paid direct to the council (less than the full debt) to the bailiffs in respect of their fees.

 

It was discovered that this wasn't the case at all. I'm getting a sense of Déjà vu here.

And the insults continue.....

 

indeed cue the next, supporting nonsene.

 

Outlaw has a pint IMO, I remember the issues under the old regulatory system. It is early days here, the fee system seems to me to be fairly well defined, as does the procedure, there are buggs that need to be worked out and someone has to keep an educated eyew on what is going on to make sure no liberties are taken, but personally I think so far so good.

The same question is posed by these 'new users' time and time again.

 

That is because it never gets answered. The statement about how the councils are legally obliged to pass on the fee gets repeated and repeated, yet when asked to show which part of the law says this must happen, no evidence is forthcoming.

 

It just descends into a FMOTL insult when it is no such thing. FMOTL are fools.

 

Inevitably, the posters asking these 'awkward' questions get banned.

Obviously they like nothing better than to ensure that the thread gets closed as in that way the page will very quickly fade from public view. The tactics are as transparent as a net curtain.

 

I would love nothing more than the threads to remain open - closing them is a sign that the cheerleaders are losing, or the paymasters have told them to as the truth becomes more apparent.

I don't remember saying anything about legislation, the evidence i was referring to is on of the practice, which is endorsed by the information mentioned.

This is the way it works, now if some do not like it, it would be for them to find a reason why they cannot operate this way. Perhaps there is some "legislation " which says fees cannot be debited in this fashion.

 

Practice is no legislation. the legislation has made it perfectly clear on how a bailiff can collect his fees, and that is by a single means only. He collects his fee from the proceeds of what he has taken control of. There is no other provision that allows his fees to be paid. The council should not be passing any fees on to the bailiff - if they want to pass on any monies, it will be of their own free will from their own budget and not to the detriment of the debtor.

As I said to your friend, I will gladly attempt to correct these misconception for you however please start another thread.

No, this thread is about if the fees can be paid to the bailiff if you pay the creditor direct. I can't see the purpose of a new thread to discuss the same subject.

 

No read the title :)

 

To explain

 

You want to air your misinterpretation of the legislation, this thread is about the reason that a practice actually happens.

Now there's an odd reply from Neckbeard - a 'freshman' whose membership commenced less than a month ago and yet he passes an opinion which given that I haven't posted on this thread or any other for weeks, suggests that he already knew of me.

 

A 'freshman' with a unique insight indeed.

 

If one did not know that this idiot was hiding under a name with its misogamistic linkings and insults aimed at TomTubby, you could be forgiven for thinking that he was psychic rather than stupid enough not to realise that he and his cronies have been rumbled and that it is they that nobody is listening to.

 

Two up - one to go is fact and not an opinion

 

As I say if only insults were intelligence

 

Still when you are obsessed, you become blind to reality.

That's because I'm not a freshman, just a fresh name. I notice you didn't attempt to deny the 'bully' tag. No doubt some essay-length emails will be sent to owners of other sites, as if they're to blame. :madgrin:
