    • 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.

I sent it to my local county court email address, i tried for over an email to speak to an operator to confirm which email address it should go to but the automated message kept saying all operaters are busy and then hangs up so i emailed it to enquires and listings.

 

Now panicking as the amended defence only has my name typed under the Statement of Truth.........gotta feeling i've now messed this up! :-(

 

Send it again...add " Defence " Claimant Name v Defendant Name....Claim Number to the subject line

We could do with some help from you.

In the email subject line I put the claim number.

If I resend it now they'll reject it as the deadline was 4pm today!

 

I've totally messed this up,

I didn't know there was t&c about how email to a court had to be sent.

 

The email address has my full name on it,

and my full name and address was also on the amended.

 

Can they really reject it because they do not have my proper signature and it's only typed under the statement of truth?

In those t&c that the court sent it said that I should only send 1 copy? On the hard copy do I ink sign next to the typed signature. On the copy that I'm going to send to Lowell should I just leave them with the typed signature as I don't want them having my signature in case they try and misuse it on documents.

 

I really hope I've not messed this up Andy after all the hard work you put into the defence.

typed name under a statement is ok.

i had thought that you had not put any other details that andy mentioned #55, and was going by what the courts letter said about strictly complying with email formalities. i don't know how strict their process wld be re rejecting an email.

as andy says, it should be ok as you put your claim number there.

maybe you could try ringing the court to see if its gone through?

even if it didn't, a minor error issue like that shouldn't really be strictly penalised as non compliance with the 4pm order (some claimants don't get things in dead on time, yet it is still allowed).

don't worry.

Well I'm keeping my fingers crossed they've accepted the email and have sent a hard copy today with my signature on it and have sent a copy to Lowell with only the typed signature...... Now just have to wait till the dreaded white envelope from the court appears on the mat.

....I didn't know there was t&c about how email to a court had to be sent. 6

you did. as i mentioned before, i posted it prior #36 re the CPR email formalities

 

did you give the court a call to see if it had gone through (or did you resend it as andy suggested).

otherwise, if the email wasn't accepted, then have to rely on your posted a couple of days late. following an email/admin error.

Hi

 

After submitting my amended defence

 

I have today received a letter from the court saying that following a court order made on the 11 December the claim has been transferred to another County Court.

 

Any ideas what this could be?

 

I've not received any Court order and don't understand why it would be transferred to another County Court?

 

Thanks for any advice

Probably on its way to you...courts move slowly...but you could ring Lincoln and enquire the order and why the transfer ?

Well I've not received anything in the post and I would ring Lincoln but you just get an automated message saying all operators busy and then cut off. All seems a bit strange, guess I'll just wait wait to see what the court order is. If they had dismissed my amended defence and gone for the ccj would that involve a court order?

Hi

 

I have just spoken to Peterborough County Court as i still hadn't heard anything following the letter that i have December saying the claim had been transferred to Peterborough.

 

The advisor i spoke to said it has been passed to the district judge for Pre Judgement, what does this mean?

 

Many thanks

Allocation of the claim and set directions....I wouldn't call it " Pre Judgement " but thats the court staff interpretation.

I kind of feel a bit better after reading that Andy,

i had meant it to mean that they were preparing the paperwork to issue to CCJ.

 

It feels like its all dragging on as i though the claim had already been allocated to small claims and i already completed the directions paperwork long before it was allocated to Lincoln. Is this all normal practice?

Not normal...but then we dont get many transfers from one county court to another without any logical explanation...I heard that Lincoln CC was marked for closure ?

Hi

 

Yesterday i received 2 letters (attached). As you will see from the thread, Lincoln was originally handling this claim and then transferred to Peterborough but now Peterborough have transferred it back to Lincoln and it says for trial.

 

Firslty, should i be worried that it says 'trial' and secondly it says about providing a witness statement 14 days before the hearing date but no hearing date has been set so do i wait until Lincoln contact me with a hearing date or do i prepare my WS now?

 

Thank you in advance for any advice given.
