    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK.   Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunak 
    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!! 
    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • 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.

Hello, I had exactly the same problem.

Parked at Southgate Park Stansted, went to McDonalds then got a parking charge letter.

I stupidly appealed it and therefore revealed myself as the driver, and the appeal was of course rejected.

However the PCN letter came well after 2 weeks from when I parked there.

Is this good grounds to appeal to POPLA?

 

Hello,

I've been issued with a parking charge notice by MET for parking at Southgate Park Stansted.

The parking bays looked like they were there for the adjacent restaurants (McDonalds and Starbucks)

I went to McDonalds, left after 12 minutes,

26 days later got a parking charge letter.

Apparently I was not allowed to leave the car park on foot while I was parking there, and because I strayed more than 50 feet from the car I must now pay the charge. No obvious signs stating this, not something I would ever expect.

I stupidly appealed it and therefore revealed myself as the driver, and the appeal was of course rejected.

However the PCN letter came well after 2 weeks from when I parked there. Is this good grounds to appeal to POPLA.

The reply to my appeal (in which I stupidly said I went to McDonalds....)

 

Dear xxxxxx

Re: Parking Charge Notice Number xxxx (Vehicle: xxxxx)

Site: (346) Southgate Park

Issue date: 15/03/2018

POPLA Verification Code xxxxxxxxx

 

Thank you for your correspondence received in regards to Parking Charge Notice . After careful

consideration we have decided to reject your appeal for the following reasons:

 

The terms and conditions of use of the car park are clearly stated on signs prominently displayed in this area. These

include that the car park is for the use of Southgate Park customers while they are on the premises only, that

McDonald's is NOT on Southgate Park and that there is no free parking for McDonald's.

 

Our records show that

your vehicle was left in this car park while you left Southgate Park walking in the direction of McDonald's therefore we

believe the charge notice was issued correctly and we are upholding it.

 

If you had wanted to park in this car park and go to McDonald’s you could have done so by paying the appropriate

parking tariff.

 

This decision, which has been based on the facts of the case and takes into account our consideration of any mitigating

circumstances, is our final decision.

 

You have now reached the end of our internal appeals procedure and you now have a number of options:

 

1. Pay or, if you were not the driver of the vehicle at the time of the incident, request the driver to pay the Parking

Charge Notice at the prevailing price of £60 within 14 days of today’s date. Please note that after this time the

Parking Charge Notice will revert to £100.

 

2. Make an appeal to POPLA, the Independent Appeals Service, within 28 days of the date of this letter by going to the

online appeals system at ...... using verification code: xxxxxxxx Please note that POPLA will consider

the evidence of both parties and make their decision based upon the facts and application of the relevant law.

 

Please note that if you opt to appeal to POPLA, and should POPLA’s decision NOT go in your favour, you will

be required to pay the full amount of £100. By law we are also required to inform you that Ombudsman Services

provides an alternative dispute resolution service that would be competent to

deal with your appeal. However, we have not chosen to participate in their alternative dispute resolution

service. As such should you wish to appeal then you must do so to POPLA as explained above.

 

3. If you choose to do nothing, we will seek to recover the monies owed to us via our debt recovery procedures and may proceed with court action.

 

Hello, yes it was an ANPR. So I should just leave this alone rather than appeal to POPLA?

If the charge was for leaving the site, parking on southgate park then going to Mcds it can't be anpr. Must be attendant with camera.

"Failure to mitigate" attendant should have warned you.

Also "you will be required to pay the full amount" nope, popla only binding on the ppc.

If the OP has identified themselves as the driver, the date of receipt of the NtK won't matter very much.

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.
In fact, they're probably just waffling and can be quite safely and completely ignored as you wish.

as you have identified yourself as the driver the POFA offers you no protection. You need to read VCS v Ibotson to get up to speed with this. the argument that maccyd's is a separate place is nonsense.

 

what about the circumstance where a person goes to maccyd's and the rest of the people in the car go somewhere else in the complex, who is the contract with? If it is the driver who goes to maccyd's and then returns to their colleagues does the temporary lleaving of that part of the site cause a breach?

 

A judge has decided that it is nonsense to say that leaving a site is a breach because it is a fundamental breach of ones human rights (sounds daft but true) for free association. that menas the contract is void under para 62 of the CRA 2015

They had camera stills of me leaving the car and walking towards McDonald's. Looks like it's from an elevated, fixed position so someone must have been following me remotely

I was the only person in the car so would this argument still work?

Ibbotson was the only person, it doesnt mean that if you are seen heading off in a particular direction that is the sole purpose of your visit. You might have been going for a pee before going shopping but the reason is of no relevance. Their operative would ahve to watch you for the entire duration of your stay and have proof- sent to you in their NTK - that this was the case.

Stop trying to find reasons for giving up and look for the reasons to fight.
