    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

Hi All,

 

Need some advice on what to do.

 

On the 10th Nov 2017 my car got damaged a small amount at work one large scrape down to the primer and a few smaller hair line scratches and some of the other drivers paint, I didn't notice it till I got home about 30 mins after it has happened.

 

The person involved didn't come back into the office to report it they just re adjusted the angle they came out of their space and carried on.

 

I was in work on the 11th Nov and checked the CCTV and it was captured on there, red car going into my drivers side wing matching up with the damage.

 

The person involved then went away with some people from work for a sales event and came back today (20th Nov) hasn't said anything, parked her car away from the car park (could be coincidence but this is the first time she has ever done this.)

 

I think she knows she has done it after me sending out a company wide email along with pictures of the damage sustained.

 

What can I do now, I have had some quotes and it will cost about £180-£220 depending on where I go, do I have to give her the quotes and ask her to pay for the damage along with a copy of the CCTV ? Then what happens if she refuses to pay or denies it even with the CCTV proving it.

 

Is it also a criminal offense to hit a car and then not report it?

 

Thanks in advance.

Does cctv show the reg? If so just pass it to your insurers. Let them do the work.

I'm not sure of the criminal status of this in a private car park. However, I would contact her by email – keep it very polite – and tell her that if she won't deal with you then you will have no choice but to involve the insurer, to report it to the police and also to tell your HR Department.

 

On the basis that she is at the same officers you, I would give her 24 hours and then go ahead and do exactly what you have promised you would do. Get two competing quotes for the work – and send them both to her. Whether or not she knew about it makes very little difference to you.

Car reg to insurance company. Tell them you have cctv footage of the incident.

 

The same rules apply to a private car park as public highway. You need insurance etc etc as it can be accessed by authorised people at the same time. Its not like a farmers field were the public could have access

I think it does, will need to double check. I would rather not get insurance involved if I don't have to due to my age I don't want to get penalized myself for any reason (I have been told that claiming even when you aren't at fault can also have a negative effect in some cases)

I did send a company wide email and she didn't reply to that but HR saw it and there is now a new procedure in place for damages starting from my case, I purposely attached the damage to the email as on the day there where only three red cars in the office and only one was parked near me and you could clearly see the red paint.

 

I think HR may speak to her at some point to make her aware what was witnessed on CCTV and then leave it to her to see if she approaches me, if she doesn't I will then email her with my intentions. It just makes me feel like the bad guy having to bring it up with her.

As above would rather go to her directly first but if left with no option I will go via her insurance.

 

Thanks for all the replies.

Either you want reimbursement for nec repairs + increased Premiums/reduction in NCD by involving your Insurer or you don't.

 

So if I go through her insurance will this effect mine, not quite sure what you are saying. CCTV shows I am not at fault considering I was up two flights of stairs at the time.

 

Thanks

Sadly it almost certainly will affect you.

Insurers claim that if you've been in an accident that wasn't your fault, it somehow makes you more likely to be in another accident in future, so a non-fault claim will almost certainly increase your premium.

incident not a police matter and nothing to do with employer either. Try asking her to pay up first, pointing out you have the evidence. If she is not agreeable then it becomes a matter for your insurer, who will make a meal out of it so it is in her interests to cough up.

Why not? Other driver has failed to give details and hasn’t reported to Police within the 24hrs...

 

RTA, IIRC...

It would depend on the status of the car park. If it is considered to be a 'public place', then the various sections of the Road Traffic Act would apply, if it was a private car park and not considered to be a 'public place', they would not.

I have now spoken with her, she didn't know she had hit it. It was very light damage but unfortunately it was over two panels so the initial thought of £150-£200 has now turned into £350-400 going from the quotes I have gotten so far as they need to do both panels.

 

I may suggest with it being Christmas etc I may ask her if she would find it easier to pay half this month and half next month.

 

Thanks for the help.
