    • 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.

It's a condition I call 'competitive quarantining'.  Many businesses are making up their own rules above and beyond what's required so they can say they can make a big thing of saying they're taking staff and customer safety seriously.

A less drastic example is when some supermarkets brought in a rule stopping couples shopping together.  Not part of any existing regulation, their own restriction.

There is a serious gap in the Governments track & trace ( test & trace) policy concerning contractors who visit more than one companies premises on a regular basis.

 

Have heard of contractors causing temporary closure of several different offices, when one or more of the contractors staff have tested positive for Covid-19, leading to closure of offices while they are subject to deep cleaning.  And also people that have met the contractors and been in close proximity, have been required to self-isolate as a precaution.

 

Contractors who visit different workplaces regularly must be putting themselves and the people they visit at risk and this must be a risk that has been considered, yet I am not sure I have read any specific advice to employers.

hightail isn't the only one to think that. From this article:

 

It is not yet known whether use of the app would be mandatory or voluntary. “A mandatory smartphone app would be a significant measure, both legally and culturally,” the lawyers said. “Our view is that there would need to be a clear and detailed legal basis for a mandatory system, set out in specific legislation.”

No it isn't and it's just scaremongering to suggest otherwise.

I think this was more to reduce the footfall.  Local stores were only allowing 10 people in at a time.. by allowing only single shoppers, they kept their queues down.

So which are you disputing there and why

 

Is it

 

A mandatory smartphone app would be a significant measure, both legally and culturally,”

 

or

 

“Our view is that there would need to be a clear and detailed legal basis for a mandatory system, set out in specific legislation.”

 

 

 

or are you actually claiming that it wouldn't be made compulsory despite the changes in law I referred, and handcock quite clearly saying that optional is only if enough people voluntarily install it and that 'mandatory' is an option already available to them and which they will use?

 

 

 

or are you just spouting fog to try to confuse the facts?

The concerns go beyond the ORG worries, the companies and people involved Serco, G4S, and Dido Harding don't inspire confidence in their ability to prevent data leaks to begin with. Be so easy to add a "Refused vaccination" flag, or refused ID Chip for unrestricted access to services.  in there.

Yes they are waking up to the fact that they  have over centralised stuff, and there is no proper local provision any more, Hancock is treating it as a National outbreak, not the many localised ones now  often centred around General Hospitals, as infection and reinfection agents. PHE PHW, and PHS have no capacity for any real localised Track & trace, having removed the Council Environmental & Public Health Departments out of the equation.  All they have is Hancock's busted App, and an army of badly trained call centre grunts.

 

Says care worker to old Mrs Jones, and  "you really need to install that app so they can see you aren't going out"

 

Mrs Jones gets out a cheap candybar feature phone, and says, "can't install apps on that  only phone and text, so don't need smartphone"

 

Interesting look at age demographic for smartphone ownership, is 70% age 55 -64 still low enough to dent Hancocks app effectiveness.

 

Other issue, many at risk homeless, low income also only have feature phones issued by care agencies or charities  People released on tag who are in hostels are often issued with something likea £10 samsung/Nokia/Alcatel candybar, 2G  non internet capable phone.

No doubt it was for our 'comfort and safety' and it all seems to make sense to a frightened population.  So will temperature taking at a supermarket (or whatever) entrance if they so choose ........ and asking to see your status on the app on your phone.  They'll do it with pride and many will applaud them for it.  My point is they can impose any conditions they like and if they do there's nothing we can do about it if we wish to continue using any service.  It could become as good as mandatory without government needing to say a word.

Anyone could do anything in theory but AFAIK there is no evidence whatsoever that supermarkets or retailers generally are even considering such measures so your fears are misplaced.

I’ll be delighted if you’re correct.  My experience so far has been half and half of those who either take little notice or those who thoroughly enjoy the new power afforded by the sport of competitive quarantining.

I cant see supermarkets doing the 'app status required' off their own back, I think it would need to be mandated by the overlords. Temperature checks are more likely but there would need to be an alternate method for the person to get food to avoid very damaging press.

 

BUT, I can well see an app with status requirement being placed on transport hubs.

'If the plebs can't use public transport, let their chauffeur drive them ...

 

 

Interesting that Jenrick is avoiding bad press despite trouncing lockdown rules with 3 homes and abusing his position for the benefit of his rich ex media pals

but then again - he is one of the prime faces of lies and seems very happy to be such along with handcock

Oh dear

Business secretary tested for Covid-19 after feeling ill during Commons speech

 

"During one vote, the minister voted straight after the culture secretary, Oliver Dowden, and immediately before the Labour MP Stephen Kinnock.

He was also one of a few ministers who attended full cabinet, a source said.

In another vote on the substantive motion, Sharma queued to vote immediately after Saqib Bhatti, the Conservative MP for Meriden, and just before Paul Scully, the Tory MP for Sutton and Cheam. "

 

 

'Most of his speeches make us feel ill was reportedly heard,

as was, don't worry you can always claim universal credit and have your life transformed , although p[perhaps not for the better.

 

 

 

As the Mp's experience the Mogg supermarket Conga, some queueing for the very first time since waiting to enter their initiation chamber and the awaiting pigs head.

 

'Completely unacceptable that we should queue. I feel like a pleb at Morrisons must' was rumoured to be heard from some.
