    • 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.

Hi all,

 

New on here but have been reading a lot - I need some help with a claim for I have had through in the post.

 

I used to run a business 4/5 years ago that dealt with various suppliers. The business closed in 2012 and hasn't traded since.

 

I had a letter around 2 months ago from an old supplier stating that the business had been sold to someone else and that there was an outstanding balance on my account from 2011,

it came with an attached statement of invoices spreading across 18 months - first thing I knew about it,

 

I was not aware I had a balance outstanding as the business has been closed since mid 2012. I was also shocked that the invoices spread across such a long time period.

 

when I was trading with this company I normally paid for my good on collection or delivery.

If any payment had been missed i'm not sure why it was not bought up at my next order?

I simply wrote back to this letter stating that the business was closed now and I was not aware of any balance outstanding at the time.

 

On the 12th Sept I had a claim form though the post from a company I did no recognise

- I was only on seeing the suppliers name on the bottom on the form I realised who it was from. This old supplier of parts with whom I have not spoken or ordered since 2012.

 

The particulars simply state - "Claiming payment for goods supplied on credit for which payment has not been received"

 

I assume the company that is claiming is the new company that has bought out the supplier? - However it is signed by the guy who I dealt with back in 2011 so not sure.

 

my question really is how to deal with this

- The business that closed caused me a lot of grief and money at the time and my credit is still, even if its slowly, recovering from it all closing.

 

Last thing I want now is to have another CCJ on my file and be back to square one!

- I'm still waiting for the others I incurred (I probably would not have got them in the first place if I'd have been part of this forum then as I didn't even reply to claim at the time and they were just awarded as default!) to drop off!

 

The main defence I think I have is that I was never aware until recently that there was an outstanding balance.

 

I always paid for my deliveries or collections at the time of ordering.

I did not have a "credit" account which I had a limit for and paid off as you would with a normal supplier.

 

The company (although it was me as a sole-trader) closed in 2012

 

I am still unsure why, if the claims are true, I was allowed to keep ordering for a period of 18 months if this balance was due.

 

It seems to me that there must be an admin error or their part or something?

 

Any advice or suggestions?

 

Cheers Chris

Standard procedure here is to send a CCA request to the claimant and a CPR 31:14 to the claimants solicitor, if there is no solicitor acting, then both can be sent to claimant.

Ok great thanks - i'm guessing when he cant produce a credit agreement (because there isnt one) he will either drop the case or thats my defence? Am I likely to get it thrown out on this basis?

If he has supplied you with credit, there must have been some kind of agreement.

 

Send the above and see what comes back if anything.

 

If nothing comes back, look for no paperwork/holding defence

Judging by the PoC on the claimform, if that was verbatim, he doesnt seem to have much of a clue what hes doing, i take it there was no solicitor named as acting on it?

Q. Did he send any written requests for payment ir an LBA or has he just gine straight to the claimform?

Thats the point - he didnt supply me with credit. I always paid on collection or delivery. This is a guy that I dealt with more or less everyday. I spent thousands of pounds with his company. Every now and again I may have said i'll pay at the end of week or something similar or if one of my guys picked up the supplies i'd pay next time I rang but to my knowledge I always paid it. If there was an outstanding bill he would tell me next time I rang! Seems to me that he has sold the company on now and some invoices remain unpaid on his system for some reason? The new company owner has obvs decided to chase it. Very strange.

 

Anyway what I wrote was straight off the form verbatim - No solicitor is named - he sent me one letter previous (about 2 months) with a statement attached requesting payment.

 

I will send the letter you have said and see what happens.

 

Thankyou

Well the burden of proving the debt lies with the claimant, so the letters you are sending are basically requests for proof of debt
