    • Interesting question regarding what Government accounts opposition parties have access to, before an General Election. From what I understand, Government department accounts that are published are always lagging behind and would not include some amounts which are classified as 'commercially sensitive'.  Therefore opposition parties and Parliamentrary select committees would not have access to accounts which contain real time up to date information. If a new Government have found £20 billion of spending liabilities they did not know about, this could be true, as £20 billion is not that much when you look at total Government expenditure. Government department are making decisions on spending all of the time and it could be the previous Government were planning tax changes and/or spending cuts to balance the books.  Jeremy Hunt has recently said that if the Tories had stayed in Government and held an Autumn budget, it would have been very difficult to cut taxes as some had wanted.

    • ok your WS is wrong. Paragraph 16 and 17 says  you did not contract with evri but this is not true - see below  Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (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 post 251 of occy thread - £844 lost    you should also add a paragraph on donough v Stevenson talking about the fact that even without contract there is still duty of care to goods and by failing to deliver this duty has been breached.   Make those changes and post it back up here and I'll check over things again

    • 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 need to serve a section 8 notice, I'm on the premises & can open the door to allow them to serve the tenants notice.

 

The residence is a private residential address.

 

I'm already staying on the premises, & I can open the door from the inside, & allow the bailiff in to serve notice.

 

Is this legal?

 

The tricky part is, I dont have a tenancy agreement to prove I live on the property, but I can prove I'm the landlord.

 

& the tenants still have a tenancy contract AST on the property.

 

Basically can the tenants claim forced entry, or something, if I allow a bailiff entry to serve notice?

Hi

I have moved your post to the bailiff forum where appropriate help should arrive.

 

In the meantime, my thoughts are that you can allow peaceful access to the communal area but you can't give them access to the tenants property.

 

Others will be able to give a better answer.

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

I think that under the old rules a third party would not be permitted to grant entry, not sure of the position now. I would have thought though that realistically, carelessly leaving the outer door ajar and the EA gaining peaceful entry wouldn't be breaking any laws, and in any case be very hard to prove as being intentional.

Hi,

 

The back story :

 

My mother moved into the tenants property because she was forced to rent out her home, & had nowhere else to go. She literally has no way of paying the mortgage, as the tenants havent paid rent for over 4 months.

 

She has no income to cover the mortgage payments.

 

Out of desperation she rented out her entire home, & used a breach of contract clause in the AST, to get the keys for the then vacant property, from the tenants.

 

Basically to find a place for herself to stay, if she didnt she would be homeless.

 

The key to consider is that the tenants don't live on the property.

 

All they have is a small office, next to the main front door.

 

My question, is it ok for her or me to open the door, from the inside to let the let bailiff in & serve the notice?

 

Technically from what I understand, the front door is considered a communal area, so she has a right to open the door.

 

This is where it gets messy ...

 

1. The tenants have a residential AST, which covers the entire property, including the communal area.

 

2. Usually with a residential AST, which covers the entire property, she would have to give 3 days notice to enter the property.

 

But as she's already on the property & has been there for over a month, the tenants will most likely dispute they handed over the keys, as no form was signed nor was it recorded.

 

She should have access to the communal area. As she's already living on the premises. Albeit without a tenancy agreement with the existing tenants, making her technically a lodger...

 

But ...

 

3. Also from what I understand according to the Landlord & Tenants Act 1954, as the tenants arent living on the property, she also has a right to the communal area.

 

4. Basically according to the the Landlord & Tenants Act 1954, a tenant has to reside on the property, to gain exclusive access to the entire area, including the communal area.

 

If someone can confirm & point out what parts of the Landlord & Tenants Act 1954 apply to the above 4 points, we should be able to resolve this pretty quickly.

So are you saying that the tenants are renting a commercial property and you wish to terminate their possession ?

I Forgot to mention, the tenants have a strict residential AST, & dont live on the property.

 

The tenants are unlawfully running a business without our permission on the property under a residential AST.

Hey,

No its a different issue, in that thread, I needed to know what were my options to evict someone, apart from a section 8 or section 21.

 

In this thread I need to know the specifics of how to serve a section 8 notice, without screwing it up, as I'm not familiar with the ins & out's of serving notice ...

I don't deal with section 8's at all so my knowledge on this is fairly limited i'm afraid. But..I would have to say that allowing him access is probably going to be a big no no. Hopefully someone else will be along to advise you. Failing that, i would certainly look to seek legal advice before just letting someone in to a house to serve this notice.

What efforts have been carried out so far to try and serve?

No you wouldn't Grumpy section 8s are issued before the commitment of court proceedings and the issuance of a judgement, so a bailiff need not be involved. Different if is it is a commercial property which is what I am looking at now.

 

In addition the bailiff , if employed would not be working under a judgement, so would not be constrained by the TCE, he is not taking control of goods he is simply delivering a letter(notice to quit).

Yea, its just a simple serve a notice on a tenant with a residential AST, but my moms on the property & I can serve it from inside. Just wanna know if its ok for me to let the guy in to serve notice.

 

I think it should be ok, as dodge points out, its just a notice, basically delivering a letter.

 

Im pretty sure, right of entry laws for bailiffs dont apply to serving a notice. As long as the guy delivering the letter is let in, it should be ok.

 

I dont think its a bailiff issue, as he's not seizing goods.

Yes I as hoping you could progress the procedure by stating that the tenancy was being operated on a commercial basis, but unfortunately not. You can get the EA to deliver your letter if you are not keen on doing it yourself, there is no restriction on how he does other than the ones contained in the Housing act and of course the letter itself has to be formatted and worded in a certain way, templates can be down loaded from various legal websites and if you use a EA they will supply one for you no doubt. Use grounds 8 for arrears.

 

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Thanks dodge, I'm pretty sure I can let the bailiff in to serve the notice. As its just a simple letter.

 

I havent seen anywhere any restrictions on serving a notice, other then not breaking the door down or using violence ...

 

Btw whats ground 8?

 

Nm grounds 8 is under section 8...

When you fill in the form 8 notice it will have a place where you have to state your reason for issuing notice. The reasons are itemised in the Housing act, the one regarding arrears is grounds 8, this is a statutory form and must be correctly completed otherwise a court will reject it and you will have to give another one and wait for another prescribed period, good news is that once issued the form lasts for 12 months.

Have you informed the council that they are managing a business from a residential property as they shoudln have planning permission and be paying council rates. As you have the residential tenancy agreement there should be no hassle however the council will do all the leg work and pay the bailiffs to remove the current tenants.

They have a C2 Residential institutions Planning permission, basically "Residential care homes, hospitals, nursing homes, boarding schools, residential colleges and training centres."

 

So they might be able run a C2 on residential property, but I'll check with the local council if theyre allowed to run a C2 business on a residential tenancy.

Also if possible check the council tax rates they are paying. They would definitely require permission from the LL and a consultation by the planning department should have been done with neighbours to see if there were any objections. If this was by pass, I would be looking deeper and woudl try and find out who is actually behind the scheme.

Thats great, how do I check what council tax rates theyre paying? Can you check online? I'm about to ring the local council.
