    • 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.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.

    • 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.

BazzaS thanks , didn’t look at it that way. 

I served a witness statement before the last hearing but it doesn’t include the photos of the camera she has interfered with as she did this after the hearing when the judge asked for an expert report. 

Shes sneaky. That’s why she had an issue of me hand delivering letters and phoned the police saying I was harassing her. 

Should I send an updated one including the things that have happened since? 


I would do an updated witness statement in this situation.

 

I think it’s an opportunity to explain your position with the expert/instructions, sending/hand delivering her letters, the photos you took of the cameras etc etc.

HI 

Just a quick update.

Received a letter from court today.

 

The claim has been stayed for four months and the hearing vacated.

 

The claimant shall write to the court within 7 days of the expiry of the stay to inform the court if the matter should be listed for a hearing or if an extension of the stay required.

 

Since this order was made of the courts own motion any party shall have permission to apply to the court to vary the contents of the order or set aside within 7 days of service. 

 

Thanks.

Morning,

Hope everyone is well.

Just to update, I phoned court yesterday to find out if the claimant has written to them. The court said they have not received anything and to call back next week. 

 

The letter I received dated 4th May said the claim is stayed for 4 months and the hearing on the 20th is vacated. 

The claimant had to write within 7 days of the expiry of the stay to inform the court if they wanted the matter to be listed again. 

 

The lady I spoke to at court seemed confused and couldn't confirm if the deadline was from the 4th May or the 20th May when the hearing was vacated. 

 

Just wondered if someone could clarify this as from my working out she had until 11th September.

Many Thanks

If it’s unclear generally go with the earlier date (so as you point out 11 September).


Just bear in mind that courts are running huge backlogs of correspondence at the moment (some as much as 3 or 4 weeks behind).

 

Does the Court order say what will happen if there is no response by the deadline?

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Yes they said they was a few days behind when I rung. I will ring again Friday. 

The order doesn't say anything if theres no response from her.

Also if theres no response will I be able to claim my costs back?

Could she not check if it had been re listed...you would have received notification if it had......I dont expect that she has informed the court.

 Agree she hasn’t written to Court. 
 

If Keek writes to her she’ll probably pull her finger out and write to court and the hearing will he relisted (or she might even call the police again and spout more rubbish about being harassed).
 

If he does nothing I expect the court and the claimant will do nothing and the claim will just be stayed until someone at court gets round to doing something (and they’ll probably issue an unless order). This could be months.
 

If he writes to the Court asking for the claim to be struck out due to lack of response from the claimant, the court will tell him to make an application which will cost money and delay things even more (and if an application does get listed and heard the end result will likely be the claim being listed for another hearing).


I’m not sure what to do.

So even if she has missed the deadline it can still be relisted? Would she have to start the process again from the beginning? 

I thought once the stay had expired that would be the end of it.

If she does nothing where would I stand in claiming back the fees and expenses? Would they just be wrote off? 

 

Thank you for the replies.

No.... if she has failed to inform them to relist...the claim will remain stayed and if she wishes to proceed then she will have to make application to lift the stay...more expense.

Just rang the court. She said the claim is still stayed but she is going to get the file out and put it in front of the judge as the claimant hasn't been in touch. 

 

She didn't know how to advise me on recovering my costs and told me to seek legal advice.

Okay so as thought......well lets see what the DJ directs next and we can address the costs element then. Better to keep an eye on matters rather than go along not knowing what is happening  and the uncertainty that goes along with it.

Please do......its important for users that topics do not simply dry up.

 

With regards to the DJ directions he may simply relist it and give her a final opportunity to comply with the order dated 4th May 2020

or simply dismiss the claim......at that stage you will then have an option to make application for a Costs Order. I m not sure how much success you will have given that this is small claims track and costs are fixed.....but as your costs have arouse due to applications and set a side and expenses incurred in defending this claim..there may be some award.

 

If you get chance I would start to prepare your list of costs in dealing with this from your initial application N244.

Your right, it is nonsense! 

 

At the directions hearing would I be able to ask to have it struck out? 

She missed the last deadline and made no effort to contact the court. Surely he can't give her another chance, its madness.

Direction Hearings are not really the place to request that kind of Order and of course any Order must be backed up by an application and statement as to why you seek the order.

 

Bide your time I would assume his tether is now running short....and any further none compliance will signify the end is nigh for this claimant.

Morning, 

Just to update, I had the telephone directions hearing this morning.

 

She told the judge the independent expert we chose will not attend now. She said they had put a trace on me whatever that means. She couldn't explain why they wouldn't attend and I have not received any correspondence from them as to a reason why. 

 

The judge said she could use her own expert.

 

Her expert is an electrician he does not install cctv equipment therefore not an expert. He is also a family friend of the claimant.

I raised my concerns with the judge regarding this he said he would deal with it at the hearing. 

He said I could be my own expert. 

The hearing will be booked for after 21st June at the claimants property.
