    • 4 means that they need to name and then tell the people who will be affected that there has been an application made, what the application relates to (specificially "whether it relates to the exercise of the court’s jurisdiction in relation to P’s property and affairs, or P’s personal welfare, or to both) and what this application contains (i.e what order they want made as a result of it) 5 just means that teh court think it is important that the relevant people are notified 7 means that the court need more information to make the application, hence they have then made the order of paragraph 1 which requires the applicant to do more - this means the court can't make a decision with the current information, and need more, hence paragraph one of the order is for the applicant to do more. paragraph 3 of the order gives you the ability to have it set aside, although if it was made in january you are very late. Were you notiifed of the application or not?    
    • These are the photos of the signs. At the entrance there is a 7h free sign. On some bays there is a permit sign.  Also their official website is misleading as it implies all parking is free.  I can't be certain of the exact parking bay I was in that day, and there was no PCN ticket on my car and no other evidence was provided.  parking sign 2.pdf
    • Hi, In my last post I mentioned I had received an email from SS who were asking me to hand over the keys to my mother’s flat so they could pass them to the Law firm who have been appointed court of protection to access, secure and insure my mother’s property.  Feeling this, all quickly getting out of my hands I emailed ss requesting proof of this. I HAVEN’T HEARD BACK FROM SS.  Yesterday, I received an email (with attached court of protection order) from the Law Firm confirming this was correct (please see below a copy of this).  After reading the court of protection order I do have some concerns about it:   (a)   I only found out yesterday, the Law firm had been appointed by the court back in January.  Up until now, I have not received any notification regarding this.  (b)   Section 2   - States I am estranged from my mother.  This is NOT CORRECT    The only reason I stepped back from my mother was to protect myself from the guy (groomer) who had befriended her & was very aggressive towards me & because of my mother’s dementia she had become aggressive also.  I constantly tried to warned SS about this guy's manipulative behaviour towards my mother and his increasing aggressiveness towards me (as mentioned in previous posts).  Each time I was ignored.  Instead, SS encouraged his involvement with my mother – including him in her care plans and mental health assessments.   I was literally pushed out because I feared him and my mother’s increasing aggression towards me. Up until I stepped back, I had always looked after my mother and since her admission to the care home, I visit regularly.   .(c)    Sections -  4, 5 and 7  I am struggling to understand these as I don’t have a legal background.  I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to explain what they mean.  It’s been a horrendous situation where I had to walk away from my mother at her most vulnerable because of; ss (not helping), scammer and groomer. I have no legal background, nor experience in highly manipulative people or an understanding of how the SS system operates, finding myself isolated, scared and powerless to the point I haven’t collected my personal belongings and items for my mother’s room in the care home.  Sadly, the court has only had heard one version of this story SS’s, and based their decision on that. My mother’s situation and the experience I have gone through could happen to anyone who has a vulnerable parent.    If anyone any thoughts on this much appreciated.  Thank you. ______________________________________________________  (Below is the Court of Protection Order)  COURT OF PROTECTION                                                                                                                                                                                   No xxx  MENTAL CAPACITY ACT 2005 In the matter of Name xxx ORDER Made by  Depty District Judge At xxx Made on xxx Issued on 18 January 2024  WHEREAS  1.     xxx Solicitors, Address xxx  ("Applicant”) has applied for an order under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.  2.     The Court notes (my mother) is said to be estranged from all her three children and only one, (me) has been notified.  3.     (Me) was previously appointed as Atorney for Property and Affairs for (my mother).  The Exhibity NAJ at (date) refers to (me) and all replacement Attorneys are now officially standing down.  4.     Pursuant to Rule 9.10 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 and Practice Direction 9B the Applicant 2must seek to identify at least three persons who are likely to have an interest in being notified that an application has been issues.”  The children of (my mother), and any other appointed attorneys are likely to have an interest in the application, because of the nature of relationship to (my mother).  5.     The Court considers that the notification requirements are an important safeguard for the person in respect of whom an order is sought.  6.     The Court notes that it is said that the local authority no longer has access to (my mother’s) Property.  7.     Further information is required for the Court to determine the application.  IT IS ORDERED THAT  Within 28 days of the issue date this order, the Applicant shall file a form COP24 witness statement confirming that the other children of (my mother) and any replacement attorneys have been notified of the application and shall confirm their name, address, and date upon which those persons were notified.  If the Applicant wishes the Court to dispense with any further notification, they should file a COP9 and COP24 explaining, what steps (if any) have been taken to attempt notification and why notification should be dispensed with.   Pending the determination of the application to appoint a deputy for (my mother), the Applicant is authorised to take such steps as are proportionate and necessary to access, secure and insure the house and property of (my mother).   This order was made without a hearing and without notice.  Any person affected by this order may apply within 21 days of the date on which the order was served to have the order set aside or varied pursuant to Rule 13.4 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 (“the Rules”).  Such application must be made on Form COP9 and in accordance with Part 10 Rules.

    • 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.

http://www.theweek.co.uk/65579/junior-doctors-strike-walkout-called-off-at-the-last-minute

 

I am not quite sure what they are on strike for.

 

It is my understanding that the government/NHS want to introduce a 7 day working week throughout the NHS. As long as this refers to ALL staff within the NHS, every department including admin staff and consultants, I dont understand their problem.

 

 

What is the dispute about?

 

It results from government plans to introduce seven-day working throughout the NHS, which ministers say will lead to a better, safer service for patients. Junior doctors argue that proposed changes to their contracts will mean cuts to pay, especially for work during evenings and weekends, and long working hours that will compromise the safety of both doctors and their patients.

 

The British Medical Association (BMA) says the contracts are "bad for patients, bad for junior doctors and bad for the NHS" and estimates that junior doctors could face pay cuts of between 15 and 30 per cent as a result.

 

 

Above, it says that there will be long working hours and less pay

 

Below, Doctors say it isnt about pay ??

 

What do doctors say?

 

Medics insist the walkout is not about pay or politics but simply about protecting both patient and doctor safety. "We are not asking for a pay rise," Dr Bishakha Chowdhury told the Daily Mirror. "But we are asking for the people with the purse strings to listen to us, talk to us to try and sustainably save the pride of Britain and the envy of the world - the NHS."

 

Surely it will be much safer for them and patients if they work say a 5 day week or 45 hours a week (however they schedule the working week) spread over the 7 days. As long as they recruit the extra staff to cover this, then it has to be better for staff as well as patients ?

 

Presumably the main gripe is that they will lose pay by not doing the longer and unsociable hours as that will be built into their 5 day contract ?

I blame Jeremy Hunt here for the way he has handled negotiations with Doctors. It should never have got to the stage of strikes.

 

From what i gather the key points are

 

Hours of work ( how it would work covering 24/7 all year )

 

Pay ( evidence that no current Doctors would be worse off following the change)

 

Resources ( how many extra Nurses, Doctors, Consultants etc would be needed for 24 hour a day full services over 365 days )

 

The NHS already provides 24/7 emergency cover all year round. What they don't offer are non emergency operations at weekends, because they don't have a full staff working in operating theatres, laboratories etc.

 

Given that private healthcare companies can use NHS hospital facilities, there is no reason NHS cannot involve private companies doing operations at weekends, billed to NHS at NHS standard rate. Of course they won't because they can charge more offering private services directly.

We could do with some help from you.

Why on earth would you pay a private company tens of thousands and give them free use of NHS equipment.

 

The health & social care act under the coalition allowed NHS facilities to be used by private companies or it increased how much access time they are allowed.

 

Private companies are already running NHS hospitals which offer both NHS and private services. They offer NHS non emergency operations with normal say 6 month waiting list or private option at private rate within a few weeks.

 

Locally within 20 miles, there are a number of hospitals and treatment centres offering both NHS and private in the same building. I have heard of local people being offered choice by GP's and some have gone to these hospitals who have offered quicker access if paid privately. There must be a conflict of interest offering both NHS and private.

Well all that is completely irrelevant, this is about greedy doctors saying they are special and should get paid extra for working Saturdays.

It matter not to them that millions of others already work Saturdays and it's a normal working day to them.

 

They are saying they will leave the NHS if they don't get it, most of them do anyway. This proves they only have themselves in mind and it also reinforces how right the ending of subsidised University courses is.

It is a bit relevant. Some of the consultants they work with during the week for the NHS, also work at other times including weekends doing private work. The governments health department are picking on junior Doctors at the moment, admitting that their next negotiation is with consultants, who will probably want the private rates of pay they can already obtain.

 

Junior Doctors already work 1 in every 3 weekends on average and apparently this ratio won't change much. It is just that the weekends won't attract the same pay rate as it does at the moment. The government have admitted that overall pay spending won't change, so the 11% per hour pay increase must mean less Doctors hours spread across 7 days. Hospitals are already struggling week days with not enough Doctors, so the additional Doctors hours at weekends has not been explained. Where are all these extra Doctors ? Junior Doctors think they will be asked to work many extra hours for no pay, even beyond what happens now.

 

Government need to explain their side more clearly, as does the BMA.

I don't think doctors are greedy at all. They know that tired doctors can't provide the best service to patients. I know I would rather be seen by a doctor who wasn't tired out and stressed with covering too many shifts.

 

Many, many other employees in various industries are paid more for working weekends. Doctors have studied hard for 6 years to become qualified (some longer) and heave a heavy responsibility for people's lives.

 

My friend's daughter qualified as a doctor, her next door neighbour is a plumber who only works hours to suit himself and earns more than her.

- for running a bankrupt state owned bank even further down after the government sells a traunch of shares at a £1.1B loss to its mates.

It's really quite simple, there are only 'x' amount of doctors to cover 'y' amount of hours. Is it so outrageous that people want to be paid to go to work and under the terms and conditions that they agreed to? Really? Doctors pay is made up of two elements, the basic (which Ceremy Junt is proposing to increase by 11%) and the banding which reflects how hard the doctor works. It's the cut in banding that in reality sees some doctors lose as much as 30/50%. Now, if this were a shop/office worker posting in the employment section of this forum, what would be our advice? It's comical that there's an impression that doctors don't work weekends / holidays / every other day. I wish someone would have told my wife that when I was sat eating xmas lunch on my own, or nursing a poorly child overnight or spending most weekends doing the daddy bit while she could have not been in Accident and Emergency on 12 hour nightshifts trying to keep people alive. But no, the DM and the tory party are quite happy to paint the profession as misled and greedy and some people snap it up...

 

It can take 14 years of training and work to reach 'senior level' and yet for someone of similar academic ability and commitment we don't decry architects, dentists, airline pilots, lawyers, vets from protecting their earnings.

 

And then people say 'But it's a vocation...' No, it's a job... Vocations aren't accepted in Tesco in exchange for the weekly shop, the last time I checked I'm pretty sure our landlord didn't accept 'good karma' and I'm almost certain that our joint account isn't full of goodwill and a job-well-done.

 

It's like the promised seven day GP opening, as much as I'd love to open my surgery 7 days a week I can't simply pull another doctor/nurse/receptionist out of my arse and there's no additional funding to pay them any more so that means spreading services more thinly over the week.

 

Think of it as cake if you like, normally it's divided up into 5 slices and even then, there's not much to go around. Now, seven people are here and they all want a slice, the cake doesn't magically get any bigger, each slice has to be smaller.

So did they take the 'hippocratic oath' or the 'hypocrite'.

 

Seems it's not a vocation any longer but a job for lets see how much money we can squeeze out of the NHS and sod the sick.

 

It's the declaration of Geneva now, rather than Hippocratic oath.

 

Nowhere do either say "you must let the Government walk all over you & make things worse for patients", and the Government wants people to think this is about lazy, greedy Junior doctors.

 

The Junior Doctors say this is about expecting them to do more for no more money, while affecting patient safety.

 

The Government say this is about providing a 24/7 NHS. The junior doctors say the NHS is already 24/7.

The junior doctors point out that they are being asked to provide more staffing "out of hours & weekends", but with no increased funding and no additional staff this can only happen by either or both of

A) doctors working longer hours, and

B) less staff working during the "working week" stretching an already stretched system further.

 

For those people who say "I already work Saturdays" : when junior doctors work weekends they don't always get an extra day off during the week : so, is this a "like for like" comparison.

w/b interesting to know what their actual terms and conditions are that they agreed to be employed under?

 

True, but I think three things are unquestionable

 

1. They weren't what the tories are now proposing.

2. They already work way beyond the requirements.

3. The vast majority of doctors are well worth at least what they already get, and any that aren't is an administrative/management issue completely outside of pay and conditions

I'm saddened to see that the Daily Mail / Tory agenda is spreading... If you don't already have health insurance - start looking...

 

My understanding is that the idea is to treat all days as normal working days - so there will be no overtime pay / unsocial hours pay for working weekends / bank holidays / night or day shifts.

 

However, there is to be an increase in pay of 11%.

 

Is it a case then that decent salary levels are only achievable by working the less sociable hours because of the extra pay given for those ?

Their choice, they could have chose to be a plumber or traffic warden but they chose to be doctors.

 

They could have chosen to be plumbers.

 

They chose to be doctors, and PART of that decision was based on the pay and T's & C's they knew of.

 

They didn't sign up with the expectation of new T's & C's being IMPOSED upon them, the "negotiation tactic" the Government had been using for a while......

My understanding is that the idea is to treat all days as normal working days - so there will be no overtime pay / unsocial hours pay for working weekends / bank holidays / night or day shifts.

 

However, there is to be an increase in pay of 11%.

 

Is it a case then that decent salary levels are only achievable by working the less sociable hours because of the extra pay given for those ?

 

Effectively, yes.

 

Here's the banding system explained

So given that most jobs attract a banding you can see how the headline 11% on basic actually represents a cut for most doctors - especially those working in critical care and other services like A&E.

 

There's a comedy misconception that the NHS isn't 24/7, but the last time I checked there weren't opening hours posted outside A&E, our answering machine at the surgery has details of GP out of hours services and if I call 999 an ambulance will come, even at 4am on a Sunday.

 

Do you really need a routine hearing test at 8pm on a Sunday?
