    • This must be part of the new tactic from Evri.  They know they are going to lose. They take it to the wire and then don't bother to turn up in order to save themselves costs and of course they don't give a damn about the cost to the British taxpayer and the extra court delays they cause. This is a nasty dishonest company – but rather in line with all of the parcel delivery industry which knows that their insurance requirements are unlawful. They know that their prohibited items are for the most part unfair terms. They know for the most part that a "safe place" is exactly what it means – are not left on somebody's doorstep in full view. They know that obtaining a signature means that they have to show the signature not simply claim that they received a signature. They are making huge profits especially from their unlawful and unenforceable insurance requirement. Although this is less valuable than the PPI scandal, in terms of the number of people who are affected nationwide, PPI pales into insignificance. I hope the paralegals working for Evri are proud of themselves and they tell their families what they have done during the day when they go home.
    • Your PCN does not comply with the Protection of freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9[2][a] (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The only time on the PCN is 17.14. That is only  a time for there to be a period there would have to be a start and and end time mentioned. of course they do show the ANPR arrival and departures  times but that is not the parking period and their times are on the photographs not on the PCN. They also failed to comply with S.9[2][f] as they omitted to say that they could only pursue the keeper if they complied with the Act. That means that they can only pursue the driver as the keeper cannot be held liable for the charge. As they do not know who was driving and Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person they will struggle to win. Especially as so many people are able to legally drive your car and you haven't appealed giving them no indication therefore of who was driving. Small nitpicking point-the date of Infringement was 22/04/2024. They appear to be saying that they can charge an extra amount [up to £70 ] if they have to use a debt collector. You do not have a contract with a debt collector so they cannot add that cost. You paid for four hours so it can only be the 15 minutes they are complaining about. You are entitled to a ten minute minimum grace period at the end of the parking period which would be easier to explain if the car park had been bigger. However if you allow for two minutes to park and two minutes to leave that gives you one minute to account for. Things like being held on the way out by cars in front waiting to get on to Northgate or even your own car being held up trying to get on to Northgate at a busy time. then other considerations like having to stop to allow pedestrians to walk in front of you or being held up by another car doing a u turn in front of your car. you would have to check with the driver and see if they could account for an extra one minute things like a disabled passenger or having to strap in a child . I am not advocating lying since that could lead to serious problems [like jail time] but there can be an awful lot of minor things that can cause a hold up of a minute even the engine not starting straight away or another car being badly parked as examples. Sadly you cannot include the 5 minute Consideration period as both IPC and BPA fail to comply with the convention that you can include that time with the Grace period.

    • Hi all, I wanted to update you and thank you all for your help. I am delighted announce that after the case was struck out due to no response from Evri, judgement was issued after I submitted the forms and I was just about to take it to warrant.  today I received an email from the claims department requesting my bank details to make payment for my full award. The process has been long since the initial proceedings  in January i must say your help and guidance has been greatly appreciated.

    • 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 guys can I ask a question.

 

I attended work Sunday morning at my depot but did not start my shift for another 30 mins. Within this time I had what seemed a normal conversation with a colleague regards the fact she was wearing pjs to work !. I was in no way aggressive, abusive nor did I swear.

 

I have now been suspended on full pay on a gross misconduct charge !.

 

I had a great relationship with this person before but for some reason she has turned rather nasty. The unfortunate point is that in the next room was another colleague that I didnt get on with and he has clearly got together with this female and concocted a huge story that i was abusive and aggressive towards her.

 

I have been with the company for nearly 6 months and im 2 weeks away from the end of my probation. Unfortunately they have tried to get me the sack before and it failed. I, very professional at work and have also a great name within the industry I work in.

 

My question is if I wasnt clocked in at work as my shift hadnt started yet can I still be fired for GM ?.

 

Also if they have concocted a story together thus a witness statement concuring the allegation, do I stand much of a chance of not being fired.

 

Thanks

what exactly did you say about the pyjamas? please, lord, nothing about being in bed..please....

Never assume anyone on the internet is who they say they are. Only rely on advice from insured professionals you have paid for!

Yes - you can be dismissed for Gross misconduct even for an act which takes place off the premises if it were to fall with a range of reasonable responses. Taking things to an extreme, were you to have assaulted a colleague off the premises then you could absolutely still be dismissed.

 

It would be a purely academic question anyway, as without the required two years length of service the employer can dismiss you for any reason they see fit providing that it doesn't relate to sex, race, religion, disability etc.

 

Anyway - hopefully that will be premature. What exactly are you supposed to have done? Talking about wearing PJ's to work doesn't exactly sound sinister, or are you alleged to have peppered the conversation with sexual innuendo or foul and abusive language?

 

The answer to the above will likely give some hint as to your chances. If the context is one of harassment, or if it is alleged that your behaviour or language made the girl uncomfortable, then with a supportive witness statement you are on shaky ground. You say that this is a matter of personalities and that the 'victim' was put up to complaining by the witness. Why would she agree to do that if the conversation was innocent and she gets on OK with you? Are you sure that you didn't say anything untoward even in jest? Harassment cases are often described as resulting from an apparently innocent action or a comment made lightheartedly, and perpetrators rarely admit that there was any harassment intended.

 

I am not saying that you intended to cause distress intentionally, but it does seem strange that somebody would lodge a complaint against a colleague that they like, after an innocent conversation, and knowing full well that that person would get into a good deal of trouble purely at the suggestion of somebody overhearing the conversation.

 

You say 'they' have tried to get you sacked before? Why would that be? What happened on that occasion?

 

If the statements appear genuine, and corroborate each other then you may find it difficult to avoid dismissal. It just looks 'wrong' and the employer could well say that after the previous allegation there is no smoke without fire.

 

Hopefully you will appreciate that I am just saying as I see it - which is what any impartial investigator would do. Unfortunately you will not get to cross examine the witness or the alleged victim, so will have to rely on apparent holes in any testimony. Simply saying that 'they are out to get you' is unlikely to work.

Any advice given is done so on the assumption that recipients will also take professional advice where appropriate.

My words were "why are u wearing pjs" her response was "im Ill" I said " well thats great you get to wear pjs all night in the warm and watch DVD's all night".

 

That was the full extent of the conversation. Unfortunately thats not whats in her statement and the so called witness that doesn't like me concures !!!

 

I DID NOT sexually abuse her verbally nor did i come across in a aggressive manner !!

 

Due to the fact I like my job and dont hate it like the rest of them, I dont fit in there social circle (which they dont like). Im happy all the time and yes im very bubbly and im sure that winds them up to. So a few months ago they made a rift between me and my crew mate which created murders but was snuffed out as quickly as it was made. Thus the management no how nasty these people can be.
