    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

Parliament's standards watchdog reportedly believes Boris Johnson's holiday to Mustique was worth more than double the £15,000 he declared in the Commons register.

 

https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/boris-johnsons-mustique-holiday-was-worth-double-the-15-000-declared/

 

Johnson is trying to get this overturned, of course.

 

Edit: Even the Mail are reporting this.

but Don't worry CON, the express and Tommy Robinson weekly and a few of Johnsons populist ministers have different views ...

 

oops, the express although expectedly conciliatory over this, also begrudgingly admit and detail Johnson 'The Liars' potential .. err lies regarding the trip:

So that only leaves the support of Tommy Robinson weekly, a VERY few of Johnsons ministers and you CON

... ooops - it seems Tommy Robinson is remarkably silent on the issue ....

 

Wonder what Farage says

Ah - seems he might think the jet trip was valuable in helping to keep the planet warm ..

 

So remind us what you think of the issue CON?

The antagonistic approach is being used big time by the Cons, we saw a lot of that during the Trump administration. It's known as hegemonic practices. Unfortunately it does have it's power for a bit until enough people see through it because it repeats itself. The bots used for this during the last general election were prevalent in this. It's a powerful tool with social media but it's now being flushed out more and people looking for the truth. Not cover ups.

 

You see the antagonistic denigrate the person and twist the argument, all done in a specific order. There must be a school of learning for it 😆

You see the same words being used like the word 'whingeing', has now been pulled out of the bag.

 

I saw question time and although someone may get pulled onto the back foot of the argument at the beginning, they certainly weren't by the end😀

That's very interesting, determindator, thank you. I've been away and looked up hegemonic practices. :)

 

As well as 'whinge' I would put forward the use of 'unpatriotic' to anyone who dares to criticise what the government is doing or say that Brexit isn't going swimmingly.

 

Also, 'elite' has changed meaning. I'd say people like Jacob Rees Mogg and Farage are part of the elite but they're picking on the 'liberal elite', whoever that is.

Lord Frost says the government will hire an external adviser to identify post-Brexit opportunities. As told to the EU Scrutiny Committee yesterday. Five years since the referendum...

Bit rich of Frost as he's the front man of rejecting real food standards equivalence which would address 90%+ of the EU/UK/NI/EIRE food issues.

Very rich as the Brexiters claimed that Brexit

1. Would NOT lower food standards

2. actually claimed it Would allow the UK to bring in higher food standards

 

well - the reality is only in you consider bleached chicken, nictinides and DDT on veg and hormone soaked beef 'higher' food standards

The Daniel Morgan enquiry is at an interesting stage. Priti Patel wants to review the independent panel's report and might redact it, before it's published. The excuses are Human Rights legislation and national security. I wonder what they want to hide?

 

The panel have released an interesting statement but are refusing to release the report to the Home Office.

the Metropolitan police accepting corruption blighted the case.

Morgan’s family also believe Rupert Murdoch’s media empire has questions to answer."

"Initially, the Home Office said that it wanted to move the publication date from Monday 17 May to Monday 24 May because of procedural problems around the parliamentary timetable and the funeral of Prince Philip. Then yesterday, the Panel dropped a bombshell: Patel wanted to override the Panel and hold back publication until her staff have had a chance to “review” and possibly redact the long-awaited contents."

 

despite

"The Panel, first initiated by then Home Secretary Theresa May in 2013 after an emotional meeting with the Morgan family, had a specific remit to steer it clear of political interference. The only role for the Home Office was “make arrangements for the final report’s publication to Parliament”."

"Once again, the norms of British governance are being bent, putting the rule of law under renewed pressure. But what exactly happened between the delivery of the report and the last-minute delay? Who could have leant on the Home Secretary to break the stern remit of independence characterising independent panel inquiries?"

so, brexiters claimed no-one was threatening our place in the single market

- reality is we have no place in the single market

 

Brexiters used the fishermen as a headline for Brexit Britain

reality is the fishermen are going bankrupt

 

Brexiters claimed Brexit was for British farmer

reality is for Australian and American farmers

 

Brexiters claimed that standards wouldn't drop

reality is Australian and American standards

 

Brexiters claimed no barriers to travel or business

reality is the UK as a little island dumping ground for bleached chicken, hormone soaked beef - IF you have a job to buy it.
