    • Better version attached with the late appeal explained more clearly for the judge. This will sound silly, but I think it would be a good idea to e-mail it to the court and UKPC on Sunday.  It's probably me being daft, but Sunday is still March, and as it's late, sending it in March rather than April will make it sound like it was less late than it really is.  if you get my drift. You can still pop in a paper version on Tuesday if you want. E-mail address for the court: [email protected] And for UKPC: [email protected]   [email protected] Defendant WS.pdf
    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. 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 only contracted 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. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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 maintained a small piece of land right next to my property that when i moved in some 12 years ago had a hedge growing on it and had to seek the councils permission to remove this hedge.

 

Now 12 years on having maintain this piece of ground i would like to Adopt it so as to put a vehicle on it as parking is difficult.

 

How do i go about this?

 

And is it possible for me to own it outright and if so how do i go about it?

The rules relating to adverse possession require that you have been using the land in a way which would not be permitted by the owner and that you have been using it that way unobstructed for 12 years.

 

The fact that you seem to have alerted the council to your use of it and even asked their permission to remove the hedge would suggest that your possession has not been adverse. You might have been better simply to remove the hedge without any permission. That would be quite good evidence that you had adversely possessed the land.

ok as it turns out the landowner is not the council and is totally unaware of me maintaining his land..

 

i did contact him last year to hold a Fete on his land in order to take out Public events insurance for this event.

 

Does this change things

you've simply done him a free favour by maintaining it.

and you've acknowledged his ownership by getting PL insurance etc for the fete.

 

why don't you simply seek permission to park there in exchange for your past and on-going maintenance...re gesture of goodwill both ways?

 

then take things from there?

I wasn't at all aware of these new regulations which in fact mean that the rules for adverse possession are even tighter than they used to be.

 

I'm afraid that by asking for permission for any use of the land, you are clearly occupying the land with consent. You have deferred to the right of the owner to withhold permission and so I would say that there is no chance at all that you are able adversely to assert any title over it.

 

When you embark on these kinds of ideas, you need to make sure that you are very familiar with the rules.

 

Adverse possession is mainly about usurping the rights of the owner.

Is this registered land, registered at the Land Registry? And the person you have identified as the owner is the registered owner?

 

From what you say I'm guessing the answer is yes, and that's how you know who owns it. But I'm asking because the rules in the link only apply to registered land. So if the land is unregistered and you found out by some other method who owns it different rules about adverse possession apply.

Correct - but in that case you would still have had adversely to possess the land – and you haven't by deferring to the landowner's right to grant permission.

 

Your possession is not adverse

You held the fete on the piece of land you have been maintaining and now want to adopt?

 

Not actually true the land that i have been maintaining is between my property and the landowners it is where a hedge used to be. The fete was held on his land which i was not maintaining.On the deeds to my property it is not clear these were drawn up before the hedge was planted. AND ON THE PLANS IT IS A THICK BLACK LINE the area does not exist on the plans .although it must be there somewhere....?

aha makes more sense now.

I get what you mean.

 

you would have to get the detailed land registry stuff

use only the .gov.uk site there is a small fee.

 

 

mine had a thick black line too that was a pathway that was maintained by the org property owners thru till I got the property

 

turned out mine was an old pathway between land that was eventually turned into an access road for the for a WWII airfield, that was compulsory purchased and was 12ft wide, now its mine!!

it used to be that by occupying land for 12 years without interference you automatically gained the right to claim ownership. thsi chanegd some years back so now you need 12 years occupation and then inform the landowner that you intend to apply to the land regisrty to register title to the land. the landowner can then decide whether to agree this, sell you the land or seek possession. It may be that if you ask them they will say they are happy for you to continue to use the land but that doesnt create aright to seek possession but would only be a bother if they died or sold up..

This really is an oversimplification. The possession had always to be adverse –nec vi, nec clam, nec preccario.

indeed but i was trying to ppint out the difference where before 2002 an application to the land registry would be enough as long as you fulfilled the requirements and since then you apply to the land registry and the landowner(if registered land) will be notified of any application and has the right to challenge the application and that the challenged application will be denied unless certain specific criteria are met.

in the OP's case there are better ways of settling this than trying to claim "squatters rights"

I have to admit there's a bit of land near me I'd love to own

 

It's been neglected for about 15 years and if I thought I could get away with it I'd have fences around it already

 

It is actually large enough for a house as well
