    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • 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.

I have a court order for costs of my divorce to be paid by my ex,

unfortunately my solicitor ceased trading shortly after receiving this order which was granted with our decree nisi.

 

We have since had a financial dispute resolution for which I represented myself as I couldn't afford another solicitor and our decree absolute has been granted.

 

This has taken over 2 yrs since the nisi was granted.

 

How do I enforce the court order myself?

 

Tried filling in a form n252

 

but not sure if I have it correct as I can't find any examples online.

 

Any help gratefully received

Do you know if there is an example of a completed n252 form anywhere so I can check if I have filled mine in correctly? Can't seem to find one anywhere? When I did my form E for my FDR there seemed to be a lot more out there.

The court order for costs was granted at the same time as my nisi, oct 2015,

it has taken until January 2018 to finalise the divorce due to time wasting by my ex with the financial dispute resolution, and have only just had the absolute granted.

 

I am told I am out of time to implement the order for costs now,

even though the judge in January has acknowledged the costs order on the final hearing in January.

 

Anyone know if I will be wasting time trying to chase my ex for my costs?

You have 6 years as per the Statute of limitations and enforcement...submit your N252 in connection with the claim number and order.

Thanks Andy. I will give it a try, no doubt (from past experience) he will ignore any correspondence though.

 

He wont ...it comes from the court once assessed...if he fails to pay then you can request he attends court for questioning re financial details and then enforce it

either by Court Bailiffs or even an attachment to his earnings.

He got blacklisted from our mediation as he refused to pay,

he got threatened with contempt of court as he was a no show on the first hearing and then on the 6th and final hearing for the FDR, I had to pay £50 to prove deemed service with a screen shot for our initial divorce petition,

he really does think he is above the law.

 

Oh I could go on, this is my last ditch attempt. For my own sanity if nothing else, thanks for your advice and guidance, much appreciated,

Submit the N252 and take it from there...once its on a more legal footing then that opens options he cant ignore.If that fails then you can always submit a small claim ...Money Judgment Order....he wont ignore a CCJ against him.

Carry on as you were but I think the CAB were right. CPR 47.7 says you have 3 months from the date of the order awarding costs (presumably to be assessed if not agreed), to serve the N252 and start the detailed assessment procedure. The 6 year limitation period would start when the figure for costs is determined.

 

Part 28 of the Family Procedure Rules applies CPR 47 to family proceedings as well, so I think that CPR rule with the time limit applies to your award for costs.

 

The Courts do give some leeway but it has been 2 years (albeit with some extenuating circumstances)... Fully expect the other side dispute all your costs on the basis you haven't served the N252 in time.

 

I think you have a decent enough argument as a litigant in person to say that you should still be afforded considerable leeway on claiming costs as your solicitors went bump and you reasonably thought the costs would be assessed on conclusion of the financial dispute resolution (and any other reasons you can throw in for not doing it in the 3 months).

Correct SV apologies ..assuming the costs order stated it was to be on a basis of detailed assessment

 

https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part-44-general-rules-about-costs

 

And...

 

https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part-47-procedure-for-detailed-assessment#47.1

 

Period for commencing detailed assessment proceedings

47.7 The following table shows the period for commencing detailed assessment proceedings.

 

Source of right to detailed assessment Time by which detailed assessment proceedings must be commenced

Judgment, direction, order, award or other determination 3 months after the date of the judgment etc. Where detailed assessment is stayed pending an appeal, 3 months after the date of the order lifting the stay

 

As you state there are reasonable grounds for relief and extension to time.

I have a new problem now,

the pension sharing order that was made on 12th Jan 2018, has to yet be implemented by the pension company, with this comes a cost of £300+VAT, to be paid by us both equally, as per the order.

 

I have requested that my ex and I discuss how/when it is best for us both to pay this to get it all finalised,

not surprisingly he is refusing to be amicable about this,

 

I understand there is a time frame for this also,

I think I read 4 months from date of the order?

 

Do I have to go back to court to get him to play ball?

I am not in the position financially to pay the full amount myself.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, no, points of dispute have been received, but my ex has been in touch after the 25 days deadline and verbally offered to pay off the costs at £40 a month, I have no faith that this will happen, and to be honest don't want this hanging over my head for the next 3 yrs til it is paid off, can I suggest a different, lsmaller amount to him to be paid in full instead or just go ahead with the n254 default costs certificate? Thanks in advance
