    • Hi Caught Shoplifting at John Lewis - Retail loss Prevention/Other shoplifting allegations. - Consumer Action Group Thanks a lot for commenting this experience of yours. I do understand this might be something that you are not willing to talk about anymore but the same exact scenario happened with me today at John Lewis. They took my name/ address/ a picture of me holding a signed banned letter. the only questions I've got are... will I be contacted by the police will this be recorded as police caution or criminal record?  I would really really appreciate if you could let me know how it went.  I am so so so ashamed of myself and am really making changes in my life I feel like I've lost myself for a period of my life but anyways it would be really great to hear back. Thanks

    • 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.

Have emailed the sols today to inform them of the court date and to ask when I will receive the combined bundle. In the last hearing the Judge ordered for the 2 bundles to be combined, and my info to be added to theirs. The court ordered the Judge must have at least half a day for reading the bundles.

Hi Mrs Foot. I was just wondering if there was a public gallery available for your court hearing? I was interested in maybe attending. It is a long way to come and I may not be able to get the time off work, but I feel it would be beneficial for me as well as lending you my support! I'm sure that there are a few others that may want to lend their support as well.

 

If you could find out if the public can attend and if so, let me know the address of the court and the time of the hearing, I will do my best to attend.

 

Good Luck!

Hi a quick update

 

Whilst I was away in beautiful Cornwall the Sols sent the bundle and a letter in response to my email, which is outlined below:

 

1. When will I receive the bundle?

2. Are you relying on the report mentioned in the witness statement?

3. Out of court settlement offer of £3K

 

The letter in response is as follows:

1. We trust you have now received the bundle

2. The witness statement stands, and they state there is no metion of a audit report in the statement (its actually called something else in there)

3. Client has offered a further £750 in full and final. My £3k has been refused. They will use the offer letter they have sent in court.

4. They are seeking £9k in costs

5. We have till 4pm Monday to accept or not.

 

I am unsure if there is a public gallery but will check the court tomorrow. Anyone is welcome to come and observe and hopefully gain an insight into the case and the outcome. If this is possible I will let you know.

as it is not the full hearing I assume costs will not be awarded but if they are and if in the worst possible senario they are awarded against you ask for them to be assessed if not agreed if your mortgage has an idemnity clause the costs still have to be assessed as reasonable and i can tell you those sort of costs arnt

The Judge can order for the costs to be assessed if not agreed that will give you time if god forbid things go wrong the problem we found we were so gutted we didnt ask on one occasion and the judge just awarded the otherside costs . good luck what time are you in and how long have the allocated

We go in at 10 and its a full day with a commercial judge QC. Feeling ok to this point. OH and me having a run through later on to practice it over. Not feeling overly confident but confident enough to see it through to the end.

I have one concern. They had to join bundles together so we all had just one. I have been through it to make sure its all there but would have felt better if it had remained as it was with each party having each bundle.

Go fo it Jackie, i would expect they will pay that out without too much of a hassle.

 

OK, story so far...another adjournment. This is for reasons I cannot go into at the minute. I am getting some advice before I say or do anything. Please do not think it is all going wrong, far from it in fact. The outcome of todays hearing has meant I will get a solid and fair hearing from the Judge, who was fantastic it has to be said.

 

I will update the thread as soon as I have checked whats happened today with my legal advisor.
