    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

Let's hope there's technology in place to stop these catastrophic weapons in the sense if they are activated they can be sent off course and neutralised in a safe way.

did the US rhetoric work, china apparently is 'seriously concerned' about n korea (bbc). serious enough to reel them in? or do they indeed '...consider bad behavior from North Korea to be a strategic asset for them.” (link above)

China and Russia still support N Korea (though Russia less so) because they want to tie up S Korea, Japan and the US for economic reasons rather than security. N Korea has to keep crying wolf or their people might start to become diinterested in their supposed fate at the hands of these sopposed enemies.

China use to try and cause mischief in Taiwan but that went off the boil but it is likely to become the focus of more attention as China expands into the pacific with its grabbing of territory by building islands in the midlle of nowhere and then using a military presence to threaten anyone who even monitors their activity from international airspace or water.

What are the rest of the world going to do about it? Nothing If India decided to go all out for growth and military expansion you would see a reining in of some of this muscle flexing as India has traditionally got on well with its neighbour, Russia as well as the west. However, that may make a pre-emptive strike more likely if China did then look like slapping N Korea down.

Trump’s Cabinet, With a Prod, Extols the ‘Blessing’ of Serving Him

Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, sat at a table with young staff members who, at his prompting, praised his performance on Sunday talk shows and the appearance of his hair.

 

 

I am privileged to be here — deeply honored — and I want to thank you for your commitment to the American workers,” said Alexander Acosta, the secretary of labor.

I suspect due to the hung Parliament, other countries investors might see May as weak and unable to deliver on any trade deals that they might want to agree. And they will think that Brexit is going to take such a long time, that there is no point looking at any trade deals with the UK post Brexit, as that might be beyond 2019.

 

May only ever wanted Trump to visit because she thought she might encourage a trade deal with the US soon after Brexit in March 2019. But that is not likely and there is talk of UK staying part of EU single market.

I dont believe May's 'weakness has a great deal to do with it.

 

The yanks will still be happy to offer a TTIP deal which is all in their favour and decimating to UK standards and companies (no change)

and no one else wants to let the UK do just that to them as May rhetoric wants.

 

India - not interested without visas, and wants to be selling their cheaper than our services in competition to one of our major employment areas

 

Japan - losing interest except as a market and money stall, with the money markets on the move away from the UK

 

Korea - wants to sell to us and get into the risk free (to them) UK nuclear energy building and sales

 

China - happy to sell to anyone as long as there are far more Chinese exports than imports and invest in our risk free (to them) nuclear and energy industry

 

Australia - happy to sell us beef and Lamb when our agro/dairy industry collapses with 30% tarriffs and no subsidies

.. and with the way global warming is affecting them - ready cooked

and happy to import import our nurses and doctors and professionals

 

 

EU - still happy to deal fairly with us as an insider or outsider, as long as we cut the crap and deal fairly with them

 

Russia - probably happy to sell us cheap gas direct rather than through the EU at only a small premium, and would probably sell us nuclear missile launching subs cheaper than us building them

- If we can find some way of earning the money to pay ... or possibly even not ..

 

this would probably be better in the article 50 and May thread

Some of that trade requires legislation to reduce standards and at the moment little chance of Parliament agreeing.

What if there is no one else apart from Russia or Trumps even worse than TTIP version of TTIP?

not even WTO rules with EU if we renege on existing agreements?

Theresa May and David Davis have already been told by the EU that if they want to discuss trade deals within Brexit talks, that the 2 years Article 50 will need to be extended. This is because the EU require Brexit to be agreed first and that the EU is not ready to discuss future trade relationship with the UK.

 

Until the UK/EU has done a deal which might take 3 years or more, the UK is unable to discuss any trade deal with the US. Trump was unaware that he could not do a separate deal with Germany and had to deal with the whole of the EU.

 

It is going to be very messy and there might be another UK election. Trump might also be impeached and US politics changes as a result.

yes but the rhetoric from the Tories is no extension,

I'm quite sure the current plan is still Hard Brexit at the end of the 2 years blaming the EU.

 

That may change, but I dont think it has as yet.

 

oh - and Trump may go, but ttip will remain the Yank option.

Shame no superperson who can whisk away the missiles from the air

 

The thing is how do you change the mind set of all those people who have been brain washed. Kim would be out on a limb if his military turned against the regime. More connection with the world and not be isolated which Kim does.

 

A resistance within the country is needed.

 

What about hacking their TV media stations and showing what goodies and life experiences they could have without Kim.
