    • This is the other sign  parking sign 1a.pdf
    • 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.              
    • Unless I've got an incorrect copy of the relevant regulation: The PCN is only deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch "unless the contrary is proved" in which case date of delivery does matter (not just date of posting) and I would like clarification of the required standard of proof. It seems perhaps this hasn't been tested. Since post is now barcoded for the Post Office's own tracking purposes perhaps there is some way I can get that evidence from the Post Office...

    • 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

I have been asked by a neighbour ( has no internet ) for advise re a fixed penalty notice that they got today.

It is dated 25/5/2018 and the offence was 13/5/2018!

 

They were caught doing 57 in a 50 stretch on the M1 ,

They wanted to know why it has taken over a year for this to arrive!

The said neighbour drives for a living and was in their works van.

I am going ask for more information as know they only recently got the van they are using

TIA

So a little over two months, then.

 

When a vehicle is detected speeding a notice of intended prosecution (a NIP) and a request to name the driver is sent to the Registered Keeper (RK). This must be served within 14 days of the offence. In the case of a works vehicle the RK may be the employer but will more likely be a leasing company. The Leasing company provide details of the employer (to whom they lease the vehicle) and they receive their own NIP. The employer then nominates the employee who then receives his own NIP. The employee has to reply saying he was the driver and only then will an offer of a fixed penalty (or speed awareness course if appropriate) be made. Note that no Fixed Penalty Notice is involved. What is made is a Conditional Offer of a Fixed Penalty, which is slightly different. Also note that the only NIP subject to the 14 day rule is the first one to the RK. There are no time constraints on any subsequent NIPs

 

Each person (or company) in the chain has 28 days to respond to the request for driver's details so that's almost certainly why it has taken so long to reach your neighbour.

57 in a 50 will result in an offer of a Speed Awareness Course provide (a) your neighbour has not done one for an offence committed in the previous three years and (b) the offence was not committed in Scotland (where courses are not offered). It will cost him about £90 and half a day of his time, but no penalty points. If he doesn't fancy that he will be offered a Fixed Penalty (£100 and three points).

 

Remind him that he must return the request for driver's details within the 28 days allowed or he commits a far more serious offence. This involves a court appearance and, on conviction, a hefty fine, six points and insurance grief for up to five years.

hi, man in the middle

all they got was the notice of fixed penalty, and offer of the course or a fine, he has chosen the course and been accepted, £91 it cost, there is nothing about a request for drivers details, his name, address and driving licence number are on the letter, I looked online for them and found the offence etc, when put his details on to book course it came up to show when he had done one before, am sure it said 2017 yet been offered another, money paid and confirmation given

...there is nothing about a request for drivers details,

 

Then what proof do they have that he was driving? Before taking action for speeding the police have to have a signed response to the request for driver's details from the person who was driving. Has he told you the full story?

yes, got the letter in front of me now, has his name, address, reg of the van etc, his driving licence number, etc, he thinks the Police put reg into data base, it came back with where it was from, letter got sent there, then onto his work and then to him, he said he remembers going that way for a delivery

Yes but they don't have any proof that he was driving. Unless he has completed a "request for driver's details" (known as a "Section 172 request") they cannot show he was driving.. Was this letter the first correspondence he has from the police? If it was, it might be worth a phone call to the office that issued the fixed penalty offer to ask them how they know he was driving. This does not hang together.l

yes first letter he has had, he asked his work and the knew about it but did not tell him, first he knew was the letter today, he said he was driving as can recall being on M1 that day doing a delivery, he has not completed anything, he has been off work for last 2 weeks and only went bk Tuesday, letter dated 25/5/18

The process is this:

 

His employer receives a NIP and a request to provide the driver's details (this is known as a Section 172 request). They respond by naming the driver. Your neighbour then receives his own NIP and S172 request. The NIP provides details of the allegation (Date, Time, Location, Alleged speed and limit). Your neighbour must then respond to the S172 request by naming himself as driver. Failure to do so is an offence more serious than speeding. He then receives an offer of a course, a fixed penalty, or is issued with court proceedings (as appropriate).

 

Without this last part of the process (your neighbour naming himself as driver by means of his response to the S172 request) no prosecution for speeding is possible as they have no evidence who was driving.

 

Your neighbour needs to be sure about this because, from what you have said, they could take him to court for speeding and the prosecution would fail. There must be a bit missing that he has not told you about or he has been issued with an offer to take a course when he may not need to accept.

The letter he got yesterday was first he knew about it, it was from the Police, it states, you were the driver of Vehicle ( make and reg number ) of the alleged offence of Exceed a variable speed limit, you now have 3 options, the Motorway Course, possible to deal with it by a fixed penalty or go to court,

I went onto the website for neighbour and typed in all the details the letter has given him, there were pictures of the van etc.

Neighbour opted for the course and was accepted but I will tell him to find out if he was driving that day and ask his work

 

Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty is the heading on letter, from Northampton Police

When he said "yes he was driving" was that in response to a police request? I know you cannot readily answer these questions (it is always difficult giving advice via an intermediary). I'll leave you to come back if you believe the process I outlined in post #13 has not been followed.

hi,, he was driving that day, where he works they keep a record of who has what van etc, so yes he was definitely driving on the day in question, his work has said they knew about 4 weeks ago about this offence and did not tell him, they said they thought they had!

The company is due to be sold and rumour has it the new owners do not want the staff as have their own

So did he (your neighbour) tell the police himself, by way of responding to their request for information, that he was driving? His firm telling the police is not sufficient to support a conviction and if he did not respond to a request he's in the position I mentioned earlier. I don't really think I can add any more until that question is definitely answered.

far as I know he has had no contact with the Police, all he knew about it was the letter arriving.

He was on Holiday for a week, May 12th, came back 19th and had second week at home
