    • 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.

My offenders now try to sue me by accusing me of fake assault

Hi all,

 

Few months ago I have been assaulted by several persons (causing serious and remaining injuries) and then made a complaint but for unknown reasons (despite of cctv clearly identifying my offenders) I have been informed that my complaint/file has been closed for lack of evidence: I am also trying to save money in order to move and later hire a private detective for an investigation regarding my assault with a better standards.

 

However, as I stiĺl at the moment working in the same area than my offenders, these lasts are trying to work by harassment and intimidation (obviously using other people (who even told me that my case could be worst)).

 

Few days ago, one of their friends who is a lady wrongly accused me of assaulting her and callex the police to me.When I have been put on custody by the police due to the wrong behaviour of some officiers (an few days before) I signed a statement drafted by a custody solicitor saying that I recognised a crime I didn't commit. I have been now wrongly charged for a common assault that I didn't while I am innocent (I have refused the caution).

 

The trial at a Magistrate Court will be next tuesday but despite of my low income I have not been granted legal aid.

 

As a resutlt I would like to know how I can make my own defence. Can I send a written statement to the court before the trial (by special delivery explaining that I am totally innocent)?

 

Thanks in advance.

I think you need some specialist help, most of us here have dealt with civil matters, I have no idea about your situation but it sound rather suspect, I don't believe an appearance in a mgistrates court can be dealt with by a simple letter proclaiming your innocence.

No, I haven't this since it seems impossible to have them on phone.

 

Ideally, what I would like is to postpone the trial for three months in order to pay by myself my own solicitor.

My written will contains reliable facts with reference numbers (explaining the wrong statements I provided when I was in custudy) provided by the police, especially one day when I have been hit on my bike by a car at a high speed (I believe on purpose) but instead of doing their jobs in accordance to the officers prferred to make jokes with the unlawful driver and refused to make any investigation.

If you feel that convinced you are innocent then plead not guilty. You will be given the choice then if you wish to be tried by the magistrate or Jury at crown court. A barrister will then be appointed at public expense for crown court

 

Not sure though if common assault is an either-way offence to be given that choice. Depends on injuries sustained

 

I am sure common assault is just a summary offence if a caution was offered so hardly a broken nose job. It can only can be dealt with at a magistrates court

 

Remember this is a charge of Common assault. Hardly Major considering you were offered a caution. If convicted at crown court the judge is not going to be impressed

 

You really do need top speak to the duty solicitor on the court day. Any consultation will be no charge for advice
