    • Oh I see! thats confusing, for some reason the terms and conditions that Evri posted in that threads witness statement are slightly different than the t&cs on packlinks website. Their one says enter into a contract with the transport agency, but the website one says enter into a contract with paclink. via website: (c) Each User will enter into a contract with Packlink for the delivery of its Goods through the chosen Transport Agency. via evri witness statement in that thread: (c) Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency I read your post at #251, so I should use the second one (and changing the screenshot in the court bundle), since I am saying I have a contract with Evri? Is that correct EDIT: Oh I understand the rest of your conversation. you're saying if I was to do this i would have to fully adjust my ws to use the consumer rights act instead of rights of third parties. In that case should I just edit the terms and stick with the third parties plan?. And potentially if needed just bring up the CRA in the hearing, as you guys did in that thread  
    • First, those are the wrong terms,  read posts 240-250 of the thread ive linked to Second donough v stevenson should be more expanded. You should make refernece to the three fold duty of care test as well. Use below as guidance: The Defendant failed its duty of care to the Claimant. As found in Donoghue v Stevenson negligence is distinct and separate to any breach of contract. Furthermore, as held in the same case there need not be a contract between the Claimant and the Defendant for a duty to be established, which in the case of the Claimant on this occasion is the Defendant’s duty of care to the Claimant’s parcel whilst it is in their possession. By losing the Claimant’s parcel the Defendant has acted negligently and breached this duty of care. As such the Claimant avers that even if it is found that the Defendant not be liable in other ways, by means of breach of contract, should the court find there is no contract between Claimant and Defendant, the Claimant would still have rise to a claim on the grounds of the Defendant’s negligence and breach of duty of care to his parcel whilst it was in the Defendant’s possession, as there need not be a contract to give rise to a claim for breach of duty of care.  The court’s attention is further drawn to Caparo Industries plc v Dickman (1990), 2 AC 605 in which a three fold test was used to determine if a duty of care existed. The test required that: (i) Harm must be a reasonably foreseeable result of the defendant’s conduct; (ii) A relationship of proximity must exist and (iii) It must be fair, just and reasonable to impose liability.  
    • Thank you. here's the changes I made 1) removed indexed statement of truth 2) added donough v Stevenson in paragraph 40, just under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 paragraph about reasonable care and skill. i'm assuming this is a good place for it? 3) reworded paragraph 16 (now paragraph 12), and moved the t&cs paragraphs below it then. unless I understood you wrong it seems to fit well. or did you want me to remove the t&cs paragraphs entirely? attached is the updated draft, and thanks again for the help.

    • 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.

Hello team CAG,

 

This is a little long, but please bear with me.

 

I applied to one of the Emergency Services in London, and after passing an assessment was invited to an interview on 18th August.

 

On 30th August I made contact with one of the two panel members who interviewed me as I had received no feedback.

 

I had a lengthy conversation with this person who raised concern about unaccounted gaps in my employment but also stated that I sat a good interview and did not fail it.

 

I was informed if I were to send a complete employment history covering the gaps along with key skills gained/used, there would be potential of a second interview but this would have to be with somebody else.

 

On 4th September I emailed the person above (also Cc’d two other HR staff members) my complete employment history accounting for the gaps.

 

I called my interviewer on 9th September as I had received no communications.

I was informed that my information had been passed on and I should contact HR.

 

On 12th September I received an email from one of the two HR staff members I had Cc'd informing me that I have been unsuccessful? No reason/feedback provided.

 

I called this HR staff member the following day seeking an explanation and feedback.

To my surprise I was informed that my interviewer had mentioned to this HR staff that she (my interviewer) had informed me that I had failed.

 

My interviewer never mentioned this to me during any of our conversations.

 

I emailed my interviewer on 13th September seeking clarification and feedback, which I am yet to receive.

 

I sent a letter to the Head of Recruitment for role applied for on 16th September, expressing my dissatisfaction and seeking clarification/investigation. I also attached comms I made by email.

 

Received an email acknowledging my letter and will respond no later than 14 days from receipt. GUESS WHAT?...NOTHING!!!

 

Emailed this person on 9th October seeking an update, only to be informed my interviewer has been away, investigation is ongoing and will get back to me by the end of this week (14/10).

 

If I do not hear from the Head of Recruitment OR if I do and the result is not in my favour, can I pursue this further?

 

Your input would be greatly appreciated on this matter.

pursue how? they're under no obligation to give you a job. You may have "passed" the interview but other people may still have done better and therefore be employed ahead of you.

 

relentless pursuit of the matter will guarantee you don't get another chance in the future.

Never assume anyone on the internet is who they say they are. Only rely on advice from insured professionals you have paid for!

But is it not natural for a person to want to know on what grounds they have been unsuccessful?

 

One of the Interviewers on my Interview Panel stated to me I had sat a good interview, then later said the opposite to another HR Member? Contradiction?

I have a feeling it will be their word against mine.

 

I just want my interview notes to be looked at by a neutral in the Service / independently.

 

Bring on Friday (tomorrow), let's see if I get my response.

Maybe you passed the interview, as in you said all the right things, but you fails to make the next stage of interviews.

Judging by the amount of chasing and hassling you are doing, I find it likely they feel they dodged a bullet with you.

You are only at interview stage and you are raising grievances and complaints. Jesus, what has this world come to when someone can raise an investigation because they did not pass an interview.

"I just want my interview notes to be looked at by a neutral in the Service / independently."

 

That's nice, but they have filled the vacancy already, so they have no reason to do this, and it costs them money. They now have additional informtion about you which is that

 

- you've asked five times for feedback and updates

 

- they are under no obligation to give you this

 

- once is considered ok/ polite; at this stage you are appeaing pushy, rude and entitled

 

let it go. You have no right to anything here. What you ARE doing is ensuring you are talked about in a bad way. I guarantee you are not getting this job because your behaviour fails to recogise who is actually in charge.

It would be nice to get feedback after an interview. But it is not common. Most employers don't give you much feedback.

 

There are many possible reasons why you might not have been successful. Perhaps the interview didn't go as well as you thought. Perhaps someone back in the office didn't like your CV. Perhaps there was just another candidate they preferred.

 

I wouldn't worry about it. You just have to move on. It is very common to have to interview at many places before you get the job.

you didnt get the job, end of story. You then get told that your file is passed on and that you had answered various questions they had about you. This means that if they advertise for another similar post you will stand a decent chance of being interviewed again. You then go about things in a manner that makes you look like you have "issues" and have probably now had you files moved into the "not with a barge pole" pile.

You come accross as inexperienced and you exacerbated this impression by insisting on feedback which is not legal requierement of employers. Recruitment is not just about your ability to do a job, but also about your ability to work within a team or get on with people. If I were you I wouldn't ever pursue feedback as you attemped because it wasted both yours and theirs time without any result. To be fair, I wouldn't employee you eventhough you may be skilled because problem solving is one the most valued abilieties in any work.

I think this encapsulates your problem; a misplaced sense of entitlement.

With all due respect, what's misleading about my question? I never actually saw any bit about anyone asking this question. Why are people being talked down to? Discrimination does occur in recruitment processes and maybe this is what the OP was trying to get at, albeit in a way that is not clear. Furthermore, this post is just a month old; how old should a post be before it's a no-go area?

There is no discrimination. Period.

 

He went for an interview and he didn't get the job. Someone else did. End of story.
