    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

    • 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.

May I request some guidance from experienced members for a Single Justice Notice I received from TFL for below charges :

Regulation 7(1)(b) of Public Servce Vehicle Regulation 1990 SI No 1020

and

Section 25(3) Public Passenger Vehicle Act 1981

 

Can someone please shed some light whether these are recordable offence or not ?

Spent in how long ?

 

Do I need a solicitor to represent to contest or shall i just sign guilty plea ?

What are implications in both options.

Please help guide.

Thanks

Thanks Honeybee,

This unfortunate incident happened on a local bus.

 

To cut long story short I just want to know what these 2 regulations actually mean in terms of its effect on my life if I sign guilty plea in terms of time it takes to be "Spent" and whether these offences are recordable under the statute they have charged ?

Yes,

I received 10 day letter

in my reply i accepted my mistake and with apologised profusely for error in judgement

 

in my mitigation I mentioned that I was unwell and under multiple medications including sedatives so could not make the right judgement.

It is my first offence.

 

my question is that whether I have any chance in court ?

Or shall I just sign guilty plea and send by post ?

 

Is this section 25(3) recordable offence ?

 

And how long it takes to be considered as "Spent" ?

you must always plead guilty and appear pers in court to convey your remorse directly to the magistrate.

there is also the availability to settle with the TfL prosecutor before you enter court.

 

when did you received the initial letter

when did you reply

what did you exactly reply with

These look like the regulations they're talking about. Have they quoted them in their letter or summons?

 

7.—(1) No passenger on a vehicle being used for the carriage of passengers at separate fares shall use any ticket which has–

(a)been altered or defaced;

(b)been issued for use by another person on terms that it is not transferable; or

(c)expired.

 

25 (3) Subject to section 68(1) of this Act, if a person contravenes, or fails to comply with, a provision of regulations having effect by virtue of this section, he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding [F3level 3 on the standard scale].

I haven't found it online yet either.

 

We don't normally advise on such a short story. Is there any chance you could tell us what's happened please instead of repeating the questions.

 

We do have transport experts, mainly with trains, but I'll PM a couple of them and ask if they're able to help.

Buses aren’t my forte I’m afraid, however since it’s a Single Justice Procedure, it would suggest these regulations are on a par with Byelaws, and thus non-recordable. 

 

the Single Justice Procedure notice isn’t the offence, just to clarify. That’s what is used these days to prosecute more minor offences in order to bring a matter to court without having a prosecutor attend etc.

Dear Stigy,

Is there any way to confirm or double check from other members what you stated about being non-recordable ? 

 

I am totally confused because CAB told me it takes 6 years to be spent. A solicitor said 2 year and another said 4 years.

Thanks for helping out.

“Recordable offence” or showing on a DBS check?

 

if a DBS, a Basic check or enhanced (eDBS)?

if a DBS and not a eDBS (where offences are never considered ‘spent’), will you be aged under 18 when the matter is heard by a Single Justice?

The matter gets heard under Single Justice Procedure when the offence is admitted, is minor, and is suitable to be disposed of by a Justice of the Peace (Magistrate) dealing with the case on the papers only: no need for a court attendance.

 

whilst the advice is often “attend court to express your apology in person”, for a SJP it is worth apologising, and saying something along the lines of “were this matter to be heard in person I would be attending to express my apology & remorse. I hope the court can accept my apology without me attending in person if the court’s time can be saved by this matter being dealt with under the Single Justice Procedure

Always worth asking TfL if they will consider an alternative to prosecution.

 

By the time a SJP notice has been received it may be too late (we need the whole story, and if TfL have already been asked about an administrative settlement!), but there is no harm in asking / asking again.

 

asking a solicitor to contest it (rather than ‘just a solicitor writing on your behalf’)

means it’ll go to a court hearing not just SJP, and you’ll have to have a reason why you won’t be found guilty : lack of intent on its own won’t suffice.

In order to answer query from dx100, yes it was on bus as i used a family member's card that had a weekly travel card on it.

 

Bazzaz's query : I thought Recordable offences are the same as the ones that show in DBS. I am not worried about enhanced DBS. My main concern is whether 25(3) offence is recordable and how before it is spent ?

Folks,

any idea how long it takes to get decision after submitting guilty plea in Single Justice Procedure vs if mitigation is argued in traditional court ?

 

Does it take long to get court date in traditional court ?

I want this matter to get it over with so i can focus on my work.

pleading not guilty and going to a hearing can take months to be allocated

how many times did you use the card, just the once?

A recordable offence is one that is recorded on the Police National Computer (PNC). Those offences listed on DBS checks tend to be recordable offences, as the DBS generally use the PNC when checking an applicant's history. There have been occasions however whereby non-recordable convictions have shown up on DBS checks, presumably from court records?

 

I would say that unless this is an offence of dishonesty, it's unlikely to be recordable, as most offences relating to travel are non-recordable.

Non-recordable offences:  can show on an eDBS, from “locally held records” (so, not on the PNC), as “other information, at Chief Officer’s discretion”.

They won’t show on a Basic Check, nor a Standard disclosure (Scotland), as these use the PNC records only.
