    • I googled "prescribed disability" to see where it is defined for the purposes of S.92. I found HMRC's definition, which included deafness. I don't  think anyone is saying deaf people cant drive, though! digging deeper,  Is it that “prescribed disability” (for the purposes of S.88 and S.92) is defined at: The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999 WWW.LEGISLATION.GOV.UK These Regulations consolidate with amendments the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1996...   ….. and sleep apnoea / increased daytime sleepiness is NOT included there directly as a condition but only becomes prescribed under “liability to sudden attacks of disabling giddiness or fainting” (but falling asleep isn't fainting!), so it isn’t defined there as a “prescribed disability”  Yet, under S.92(2)(b) RTA 1988 “ any other disability likely to cause the driving of a vehicle by him in pursuance of a licence to be a source of danger to the public" So (IMHO) sleep apnea / daytime sleepiness MIGHT be a prescribed disability, but only if it causes likelihood of "driving being a source of danger to the public" : which is where meeting / not meeting the medical standard of fitness to drive comes into play?  
    • You can counter a Judges's question on why you didn't respond by pointing out that any company that charges you with stopping at a zebra crossing is likely to be of a criminal mentality and so unlikely to cancel the PCN plus you didn't want to give away any knowledge you had at that time that could allow them to counteract your claim if it went to Court. There are many ways in which you can see off their stupid claim-you will see them in other threads  where our members have been caught by Met at other airports as well as Bristol.  Time and again they take motorists to Court for "NO Stopping" apparently completely forgetting that the have lost doing that because no stopping is prohibitory and cannot form a contract. Yet they keep on issuing PCNs because so many people just pay up . Crazy . You can see what chuckleheads they are when you read their Claim form which is pursuing you as the driver or the keeper. they don't seem to understand that on airport land because of the Bye laws, the keeper is never liable.

    • 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.

yep, isbo said wanted to defend and attend rather than dealt with in absence.

isbo. as i pointed out, there is that no 7 in the directions. ie at the J's discretion.

if you dont want to/cant attend next time, then give the court your substantiated reasons and ask for it to be dealt with in your absence with your representations.

As a LiP, the judge will explain in more laymans terms what the argument or legalese speak is so you can respond accordingly

Thanks Ford.

So what happens if I attend and they get all 'legalese' on me, which I'm sure they will?

if it proceeds to court again, rather attend than not. but, its your call in view of your circumstances.

I'll be there Ford, but what do I do/say if they get all 'legalese', as I feel sure they will?

As the original hearing was adjourned, I would think it has given you time to get a response in.

 

 

Their WS is saying "here's proof of the agreement that Isbo says they know nothing about"

- without a response to dispute that evidence, it's likely the judge will deem you've accepted it as valid.

You need to highlight the weaknesses in their case.

 

Hopefully others will agree or disagree with the above and then we can go from there.

and, why i wondered whether they did bring the originals to the hearing. the direction no 7 discretion being re copies prior.

if they dont have the originals, then what?

Along the lines of what you intend to say in court.

That's the thing, I don't know what I'm supposed to or intend to say!

Dunno Ford.

isbo

you need to decide whether to try negotiate a reduced settlement, or let it continue to court

(assuming they dont discontinue, which may be unlikely given that they turned up at the last hearing).

 

whilst there will be advice on here, you'll need to put things forward yourself in court

(unless you can get representation), and be prepared to counter what they might argue.

 

apart from any other issues in defence,

if they dont fully comply with the order eg the originals,

then you highlight any non compliance and ask for sanctions/poss strike out.

what the J will do or not re i dont know.

OK Ford, thank you.

I can't get representation sadly.

What is my defence - that they have never provided me - until now - with these documents?

 

Points 4-8: everything I have has been posted.

 

Why go to court then?

 

I can't see points 4 to 8 in their witness statement - do you have them?

 

You tell me why? I've just followed advice given.

.

what is your defence, you tell me?

you'll need to know it if it goes to court. otherwise, they prob will 'bamboozle' you.

 

again, its as per that direction n0. 7 re the copies.

 

then there is the order re bringing the originals to court.

if they dont, what wld the J do?

(why i wondered what happened at the hearing in yr absence, did they turn up with the originals)

well, what wld be the consequences of an CCJ in your circumstances.

wld you be able to pay it off in full in 28 days.

otherwise get an instalment order to pay it off (but with an ccj). are you concerned about you're credit rating, etc.

 

if a ccj is of concern etc, and you're not up for court,

then maybe consider negotiation via a tomlin order payment schedule. and then get on with life.

 

do you have a sound defence, other than the order for the originals.

maybe then as others suggest,

ask them for a prior exact copy of the originals as directed to assist in poss settlement prior.

 

all things to consider, i dont know.

post up your thoughts.

I wouldn't be able to pay it within 28 days, no sadly not.

I'm trying to rebuild credit rating.

 

When I received the CCJ threat back in March/April I saw this forum and posted up what was happening, and have taken the advice and lead from then onwards.

 

It would be extremely upsetting to come this far, and having spent a not inconsiderable amount of time and money with copying and postage, to lose now.

OK hang fire, i have found a differing opinion, please see below, sorry to confuse but the comments below makes good sense and come from the site team.

 

Once a claimant offers extension by way of CPR 15.5 (an extra 28 days) its your choice to accept and if so inform MCOL(with a copy of the claimants confirmation) that you will be be submitting by this date.

 

By agreeing extension all you are doing is providing the claimant further time to recover/create the paperwork and prolonging the process for yourself...so ignore.

 

Your defence will not be based on anything they wont disclose pre defence...and they wont disclose because they dont wish to assist with your defence along with the fact that they have nothing at this stage to disclose.

 

Your defence will be a simple holding/verifying proof defence...which is available through out this forum and in the Legal Successes forum.

This was on page 1 of this thread.

take it all the way then. but be prepared to stand your ground in court should it proceed to.

maybe no harm then though in seeing, without prejudice, what they wld settle for without going to court?
