    • 4 means that they need to name and then tell the people who will be affected that there has been an application made, what the application relates to (specificially "whether it relates to the exercise of the court’s jurisdiction in relation to P’s property and affairs, or P’s personal welfare, or to both) and what this application contains (i.e what order they want made as a result of it) 5 just means that teh court think it is important that the relevant people are notified 7 means that the court need more information to make the application, hence they have then made the order of paragraph 1 which requires the applicant to do more - this means the court can't make a decision with the current information, and need more, hence paragraph one of the order is for the applicant to do more. paragraph 3 of the order gives you the ability to have it set aside, although if it was made in january you are very late. Were you notiifed of the application or not?    
    • These are the photos of the signs. At the entrance there is a 7h free sign. On some bays there is a permit sign.  Also their official website is misleading as it implies all parking is free.  I can't be certain of the exact parking bay I was in that day, and there was no PCN ticket on my car and no other evidence was provided.  parking sign 2.pdf
    • Hi, In my last post I mentioned I had received an email from SS who were asking me to hand over the keys to my mother’s flat so they could pass them to the Law firm who have been appointed court of protection to access, secure and insure my mother’s property.  Feeling this, all quickly getting out of my hands I emailed ss requesting proof of this. I HAVEN’T HEARD BACK FROM SS.  Yesterday, I received an email (with attached court of protection order) from the Law Firm confirming this was correct (please see below a copy of this).  After reading the court of protection order I do have some concerns about it:   (a)   I only found out yesterday, the Law firm had been appointed by the court back in January.  Up until now, I have not received any notification regarding this.  (b)   Section 2   - States I am estranged from my mother.  This is NOT CORRECT    The only reason I stepped back from my mother was to protect myself from the guy (groomer) who had befriended her & was very aggressive towards me & because of my mother’s dementia she had become aggressive also.  I constantly tried to warned SS about this guy's manipulative behaviour towards my mother and his increasing aggressiveness towards me (as mentioned in previous posts).  Each time I was ignored.  Instead, SS encouraged his involvement with my mother – including him in her care plans and mental health assessments.   I was literally pushed out because I feared him and my mother’s increasing aggression towards me. Up until I stepped back, I had always looked after my mother and since her admission to the care home, I visit regularly.   .(c)    Sections -  4, 5 and 7  I am struggling to understand these as I don’t have a legal background.  I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to explain what they mean.  It’s been a horrendous situation where I had to walk away from my mother at her most vulnerable because of; ss (not helping), scammer and groomer. I have no legal background, nor experience in highly manipulative people or an understanding of how the SS system operates, finding myself isolated, scared and powerless to the point I haven’t collected my personal belongings and items for my mother’s room in the care home.  Sadly, the court has only had heard one version of this story SS’s, and based their decision on that. My mother’s situation and the experience I have gone through could happen to anyone who has a vulnerable parent.    If anyone any thoughts on this much appreciated.  Thank you. ______________________________________________________  (Below is the Court of Protection Order)  COURT OF PROTECTION                                                                                                                                                                                   No xxx  MENTAL CAPACITY ACT 2005 In the matter of Name xxx ORDER Made by  Depty District Judge At xxx Made on xxx Issued on 18 January 2024  WHEREAS  1.     xxx Solicitors, Address xxx  ("Applicant”) has applied for an order under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.  2.     The Court notes (my mother) is said to be estranged from all her three children and only one, (me) has been notified.  3.     (Me) was previously appointed as Atorney for Property and Affairs for (my mother).  The Exhibity NAJ at (date) refers to (me) and all replacement Attorneys are now officially standing down.  4.     Pursuant to Rule 9.10 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 and Practice Direction 9B the Applicant 2must seek to identify at least three persons who are likely to have an interest in being notified that an application has been issues.”  The children of (my mother), and any other appointed attorneys are likely to have an interest in the application, because of the nature of relationship to (my mother).  5.     The Court considers that the notification requirements are an important safeguard for the person in respect of whom an order is sought.  6.     The Court notes that it is said that the local authority no longer has access to (my mother’s) Property.  7.     Further information is required for the Court to determine the application.  IT IS ORDERED THAT  Within 28 days of the issue date this order, the Applicant shall file a form COP24 witness statement confirming that the other children of (my mother) and any replacement attorneys have been notified of the application and shall confirm their name, address, and date upon which those persons were notified.  If the Applicant wishes the Court to dispense with any further notification, they should file a COP9 and COP24 explaining, what steps (if any) have been taken to attempt notification and why notification should be dispensed with.   Pending the determination of the application to appoint a deputy for (my mother), the Applicant is authorised to take such steps as are proportionate and necessary to access, secure and insure the house and property of (my mother).   This order was made without a hearing and without notice.  Any person affected by this order may apply within 21 days of the date on which the order was served to have the order set aside or varied pursuant to Rule 13.4 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 (“the Rules”).  Such application must be made on Form COP9 and in accordance with Part 10 Rules.

    • 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.

Over the last few weeks, months I keep reading articles here and there about this.

Glances really not looked at things in depth.

Fish dying,mutated things like that. Radioactivity has spread to the coast of America things like that.

Some say this is or should be massive news.Maybe it is but I have missed it.

Anyone want to say anything, have articles a view, looked at this problem much more than I have.

An article.

Fukushima: Japanese Government Guilty Of Destroying Pacific Ocean.

When you read things but do not know that much about something like this, it plays on your mind.You worry, wonder what the hell is happening.

And if such a massive problem is out there how are they going to solve it.

 

A few sentences out of the article.

The Japanese Government has been ordered to pay tens of millions in compensation after it was found guilty of negligence causing the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

 

The nuclear plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co. Holdings, was also found guilty of negligence that led to the disaster that nuclear experts say will likely continue affecting wildlife and humans for the next 250,000 years.

 

“Tepco was capable of foreseeing several months after (the estimate) that a large tsunami posed a risk to the facility and could possibly flood its premises and damage safety equipment, such as the backup power generators.”

 

The nuclear disaster has contaminated the world’s largest ocean in only five years and it’s still leaking 300 tons of radioactive waste every day.

From the same article.

 

According to Japan Times: The district court ordered the two to pay damages totaling ¥38.55 million to 62 of 137 plaintiffs from 45 households located near the plant, which suffered a triple meltdown caused by the tsunami, awarding ¥70,000 to ¥3.5 million in compensation to each plaintiff. The plaintiffs had demanded the state and Tepco pay compensation of ¥11 million each — a total of about ¥1.5 billion — over the loss of local infrastructure and psychological stress they were subjected to after being forced to relocate to unfamiliar surroundings.

 

 

Why only to 62 of the 137 plaintiffs ?

 

 

However, Fukushima is having a bigger impact than just the West coast of North America. Scientists are now saying that the Pacific Ocean is already radioactive and is currently at least 5-10 times more radioactive than when the US government dropped numerous nuclear bombs in the Pacific during and after World War II. If we don’t start talking about Fukushima soon, we could all be in for a very unpleasant surprise

 

Indeed this is frightening and sadly they will continue to bury their heads in the sand. 250,000 years is an awful long time and most of us are not going to be around to witness the ongoing damage this will cause!

I think I also may not be around unless part of me my brain perhaps is fixed to one of these robots that are arriving soon.

Could you imagine, if they ever had to evacuate a large part of Japan. It is not far from Toyko.

I could not,it would have implications around the world.Would they tell the population such news.Of course they would.

I think i go a little too deep at times.Do not trust people like i used to.

North Korea, have you seen satellite pictures of the North and South at night showing power use.

I think only one person has their lights on.Never mind the internet.Such control,

Kim Jong-un should be ashamed.One day the time will come, everything changes in time.

 

Back to Radioactivity that I do not know that much about.

Sometimes when I read the odd article I wonder if I am reading something that is not true.

You feel like not putting the article on because it seems it is hard to believe.You feel if you did people would soon shoot you down, you have put a dud on old Owl.

Over the years,many years closer to home I have read, not deeply as I say just glimpses but the articles register some place on a level in your brain.

About Basement level 2 a place like that.

Clusters of Leukaemia around certain coasts, things like that.

It is not that I walk the coastline most days that makes me concerned or have known the odd person with Leukaemia through the years that have worked close to certain places.

I like to see danger, do not like the idea of a hidden foe that you cannot see, hear or run away from.The best thing to do I feel.

Although there are some I admit that when confronted they would rather accept the challenge.

 

Although I did have a close encounter once with a dust devil that did not show itself for a while.

Take this article, what the hell is going on or has been going on for years maybe.Or have I been taken in by something that is not quite true.

 

Killer 'hot particle': Sellafield coast 'like Chernobyl and Fukushima exclusion zones'

The discovery of a tiny but deadly radioactive 'hot particle' in mud from the Esk estuary near Sellafield has highlighted the dangers the nuclear site poses to residents and visitors, writes Chris Busby. Independent measures of radiation show far higher levels that those of regulators, similar to readings in the Chernobyl and Fukushima exclusion zones. Local villages should be evacuated.

Fukushima: A Nuclear War without a War: The Unspoken Crisis of Worldwide Nuclear Radiation

The Japanese government has been obliged to acknowledge that “the severity rating of its nuclear crisis … matches that of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster”. In a bitter irony, however, this tacit admission by the Japanese authorities has proven to been part of the cover-up of a significantly larger catastrophe, resulting in a process of global nuclear radiation and contamination:

 

“While Chernobyl was an enormous unprecedented disaster, it only occurred at one reactor and rapidly melted down. Once cooled, it was able to be covered with a concrete sarcophagus that was constructed with 100,000 workers. There are a staggering 4400 tons of nuclear fuel rods at Fukushima, which greatly dwarfs the total size of radiation sources at Chernobyl.”

Fukushima Scientists: Days Of Eating Fish From The Ocean Are OVER Scientist say there is no 'safe level 'radiation'

Radiation from the Fukushima power plant has been continually leaking since the meltdown as such a catastrophic level, scientists are claiming days of eating fish from the Pacific ocean could be over.

Scientists have claimed that TEPCO, the company who is in charge of monitoring the plant, has admitted radiation has been leaking into the Pacific Ocean none stop for the past six years.There are also claims that an estimated 300 to 450 tons of contaminated water being leaked from the Fukushima plant every day.Last month Neon Nettle reported that Tepco confirmed its plans to releases radioactive material from the Fukushima plant into the ocean, stating the decision has already been made”.

I find it completely unrealistic to assume that Fukushima incident, terrible as it was, has blighted the Pacific or our atmosphere more than the 100+ confirmed Pacific nuclear BOMB tests (including Plutonium bombs) of the British, Americans and French,

or even from the UK's operation grapple alone.

 

... let alone that it has blighted the Oceans even approaching as much as our dumping of plastics and chemical poisons.

 

Thats not to minimise the impact of this disaster.

looking further into that 'alternative news' neon link #10, it says it is re tritium being released (maybe 'authorized' as per industry standards?).

i guess (not being technical :)) it depends on the maths re the amount released x the eg (to see whether eating a tritium fish would be more than those levels)

apparently;

'...As an example, drinking water for a year from a well with 1,600 picocuries per liter of tritium (comparable to levels identified in a drinking water well after a significant tritiated water spill at a nuclear facility) would lead to a radiation dose (using EPA assumptions) of 0.3 millirem (mrem). That dose is:

  • at least 2,000 to 5,000 times lower than the dose from a medical procedure involving a full-body computed tomography (CT) scan (e.g., 500 to 1,500 mrem from a CT scan)
  • 1,000 times lower than the approximate 300 mrem dose from natural background radiation
  • 50 times lower than the dose from natural radioactivity (potassium) in your body (e.g., 15 mrem from potassium)
  • 12 times lower than the dose from a round-trip cross-country airplane flight (e.g., 4 mrem from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles and back)...'

https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/fact-sheets/tritium-radiation-fs.html

 

it seems it is other longer term 'radiation' that can potentially have more harmful effects (what levels of those are still being released?). eg an older link;

Some good links coming out.

It is good when people put links on their thoughts.Makes you look around searching for articles.

What has happened today with these links from you is it is obvious i do not know much about radiation.

 

I do not want to scare people half to death saying it is not safe to eat fish from the Pacific as i do not really know.

The link i put on before scared the hell out of me.

Gets you thinking ,myself that is that the Earth is getting destroyed.So i will calm down a little.

Radiation not knowing enough about things i thought thats it if this carries on we are doomed.

from the neon link you posted, it referred to another link re tritium. in which it says that

'...Toxic water at the plant is currently being treated through a processing system that can remove 62 different types of radioactive material, except tritium...'

hopefully the more (apparent) serious ones such as cesium (mentioned in the geographic) have since been filtered out since the incident, and are not now being released (if not completely, than not so much as recorded before just after the tsunami)

Why This Year’s ‘Dead Zone’ in Gulf of Mexico Is Bigger Than Ever

Right now, in the depths of the Gulf of Mexico, lies an area the size of New Jersey that's so oxygen-deprived it's void of almost all marine life.

 

The so-called "dead zone" isn't a new phenomenon: It appears in the Gulf, and other bodies of water, every summer. But what makes this year's Gulf dead zone unique is its magnitude:

At 8,776 square miles
, it's the largest ever since tracking began in 1985, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced this week.

http://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/why-year-s-dead-zone-gulf-mexico-bigger-ever-n789636

'..The dead zones occur as a result of nitrogen and phosphorus flowing into water from farmers using nutrients on crops as fertilizer, and those nutrients getting washed into streams and rivers by rain...'

its not just nuclear leaks adversely affecting water/seas.

How much information online and in media articles is 100% correct ? I regularly read the Daily Mail science articles online and you see comments on every article saying the journalist who wrote it does not understand the topic, because most of what they have said is not accurate.

 

And everytime an article is not corrected by the publisher, it is left permanently online to be quoted by people looking for information.

 

There is a site online called look-up.org or something like that, where someone claims that most pollution in London is caused by aircraft in the skies or landing/taking off from the UK. When you look into the claims being made, they are highly dubious. It seems to be someone with a vested interest in London vehicle access looking to avoid vehicles being taxed, trying to swerve blame to aviation.

 

Back to the subject matter. I would think Japan would be doing everything to keep their citizens safe and working with international safety experts.

We could do with some help from you.

I would think Japan would be doing everything to keep their citizens safe and working with international safety experts.

hopefully.

as mentioned in that nrc link i posted #12, tritium cant be filtered out (to nuclear waste). so it has to be dealt with somehow. i guess the issue there is re the (increased?) levels of it to be released compared to what 'routinely' is released by nuke plants.

hopefully the other 'isotypes' are being filtered out, and there is no more leaking. or if still leaking (as not fixable) (post #1), it is being filtered? :noidea:

TEPCO Mulling Another Massive Radioactive Release from Fukushima to the Pacific Ocean

Experts now estimate there is approximately 750,000 metric tons of radioactive water stacked up around the site, and to put it bluntly, TEPCO doesn’t know what to do with it.

The primary isotope causing the quandary is radioactive tritium. Tritium has been a thorn-in-the-side to cleanup efforts because unlike many other radioactive elements, it is extremely difficult and expensive to remove from water.

 

“By claiming Fukushima can be dismantled in 30 years, TEPCO can convince the Japanese people that other nukes in Japan are safe to restart. If the Japanese knew that 100 years were necessary, they would not approve restarting the remaining nukes. Follow the money!”
