    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

The defendant was employed by the claimant as a ************  under a contract of employment commencing on July 2008 which is subject to English law .

The defendants employment with the claimant ended on Feb 2014.

This over payment was due to the defendant exceeding his annual leave entitlement by 16 hours and the defendant was paid for 25 ? 28 Feb 2014 after having left his employment on 24 Feb 2018.

 

The claimant has called upon the defendant to make payment of the sum owed,

#######Defence########

 

I Mr xxxxxxx the defendant in this claim accordingly sets out the defence 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. The Claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) Failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st October 2017.It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant to 7.1 PAPDC.

 

2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The defendant admits receiving the payment but denies this is due to over-payment of annual leave . The defendant was on suspended leave for an ongoing dispute during this duration and not annual leave as the claimant pleads.

 

3. Paragraph 2 is noted.The defendant admits receiving the payment but denies this is due to over-payment of annual leave . The defendant was on suspended leave for an ongoing dispute during this duration and not annual leave as the claimant is reporting.

 

4. Paragraph 3 is noted. The defendant denies refusing or delaying payment and has previously asked the claimant to clarify how they have calculated this payment. The claimant has not provided a breakdown of the requested information.

 

5. Paragraph 4 is denied.The claimants calculation is based on an incorrect sum.

 

6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing the amount claimed to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence by way of a  CPR 31.14, request therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to:-

 

a) Evidence and quantify the amount claimed.

 

7.. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed.

 

8. . By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed

So an update...letter from company HR saying that unable to respond to timescale due to the process in place to retrieve my personal information held in various sources across the organisation ( told you they were incompetent)  Steps are in place to retrieve the information however this will require time to retrieve data and give a timescale of Jan 13th 2020.

They then ask if I can specify particular information or processing activity that my request relates to..

 

I don't see why I should be specific at this point , all data may be relevant for a defence , what do people think?

 

I also have form from the court for allocation so please let me know if the following is correct :

Do I agree to small claims mediation 

Do you agree that small claims track is appropriate  Y 

Hearing venue - My local court 

Expert evidence - N

Witnesses - 1 

Fill in the available dates section that I am or not available

Finally serve a copy to the claimant , court and keep one for myself

Just a further update...

Defence filed and copies sent to court + claimant. 

 

They have agreed to mediation along with myself but I have marked on the defence form that I do not have all the relevant information which of course I don't as my SAR request has not been satisfied yet.

 

Searching through my emails I have located one dated 2016 where I was communicating  with the legal dept , in the mail they said they were going to take legal action unless I paid the outstanding amount.

 

I told them the situation ( on suspended leave not A/L then resigned) and not to take any action until they confirmed my resignation.

I also asked them for a breakdown of how they got these figures , again nothing was forthcoming. 

 

The follow up email states that they do not have a copy of that resignation letter and they would refer to the HR department.

 

Obviously that never materialised. I am sure I have a copy of that letter along with correspondence with my union rep via email while I was on suspended leave.

 

So in all likelihood they will not produce SAR in time and cannot provide my resignation letter.

Just a further update!

So far no documentation for SAR request.

 

I have also trawled back through an old BT email account I am still using , found email conversations between myself , HR and union rep.

 

There is mention of my ongoing case with the company, correspondence with HR about coming back to site for follow up interviews and dealings with my rep up to the point I handed in my resignation which was Feb 2014.

 

As far as I can see these conversations prove that I was on suspended leave pending investigation.

Coupled with the fact the SAR if it ever appears will not have these email trails as I suspect my works email account was deleted a long time back. 

 

In terms of the mediation I have already noted that I do not have all the relevant information so this will render any mediation useless which should proceed it to court. 

 

For now I will keep these cards close to my chest and provide those documents at a later date.

 

I feel confident that a judge will throw this out on the grounds of their lack of evidence in the first instance.

If they again ask for more time to locate documents, you can also highlight to the court that THEY have chosen to issue the claim, and THEY should have gathered all the information they need to establish if they have a valid claim before issuing it .......

Don't leave it too late .....

a) miss a filing deadline & you may not be allowed to introduce the evidence

b) The courts don’t like “ambush tactics”

 

I suggest waiting until they either:

a) provide the SAR response, at which time

i) if that shows you were on suspension (with pay) they should withdraw!, or

ii) if it doesn’t show the paid suspension, highlight that they are missing the email(s) that show it .... again they should back down

b) if they don’t provide the SAR response and a filing deadline is approaching : highlight their lack of SAR response, and provide the evidence : that way you are sure the evidence gets put before the court (if it comes to it!) & you don’t look like you are trying to ambush them!

 

Alternatively, if you just want this “done & dusted” you could consider providing them with the info now, and encouraging them to withdraw “to save everyone time & money”?

Indeed...refer to your Notice of Allocation N157 with the courts directions.

Happy new year to all. Quick update. I missed the mediation timescale so it was heading to court and awaiting a date.

Still no SAR details from employer.

 

Last week a letter in post to say my ex employer had discontinued and alerted the court.

 

This was followed by a court letter later this week to confirm.

So great news.

Many thanks for the advice
