    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!! 
    • 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.

    • 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.

I think you may as well just go ahead and issue.

If you keep an eye on the return date, you might even get a default judgement and then go ahead to execute using High Court enforcement.

However, you probably should bear in mind that they might later on use the virus problem as a way of getting a set-aside – or they may even defend and then just hope that the virus problem will cause long delays.

It's a choice you're going to have to take – but it seems to me that you are going to have to issue proceedings sooner or later – so you might as well get underway now.

I think you can easily research the term "default judgement" on this forum or on Google

Right – please will you download what you've just offered to us as a PDF and tell us if you can read it – and if you would like to receive that if you are helping somebody else

I'm sorry but it's really not fair to us. The document is a mess – it's on its side and it's not possible to understand it's complete.

If you are seeing a solicitor and you were receiving the quality of advice that you are getting here but paying the going rate of between £300 and £400 an hour, I'll bet you you would get the document sorted out and beautiful so that the solicitor didn't have to do it himself.

We are working very hard for you – and were only asking that you put in a little bit of effort.

Please will you saw the document out so that it is obviously complete, the right way round – and once again the way that you would like it presented to you if you are investing your energy and helping somebody – or the way that you present it if you are paying loads of money to a solicitor.

I'm sorry to take this line but I think what I'm asking is completely reasonable

I'm afraid you will have to be more specific about the losses that you are claiming. You will be able to claim form "any contingency costs" or "any unforeseen costs".

When you make a claim for compensation/damages then you have to be pretty clear about the value of your claim.

Can you remind me – had I already proposed a draft particulars of claim somewhere in this thread. I'm afraid that I'm not able to keep in detailed contact with every thread that I'm helping.

Well then you would have to put a figure of – maximum of £X X X and of course in court you then have to prove that figure but also you would have to pay a court fee which reflected that maximum figure. Of course if it turned out that your losses were greater than that then you are probably limited by your maximum figure.

I take it that I didn't propose any draft particulars of claim previously in this thread.

In that case I think it would be useful if you actually listed out your losses, beginning with the quote – which is a very clear and ascertainable amount and then see what you come up with for the rest. Although I don't see any reason why you need to give any ground here, it might avoid complications if you are prepared to take some kind of loss in terms of fares or something. They can't be very substantial

I think that your particulars of claim should begin:

 

Quote

The claimant purchased tiles from the defendant retailer. It became apparent only on installation that the tiles were defective. The defendant is in breach of their obligations under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
The claimant seeks the price of removing the defective tiles and purchasing and installing replacements as per a quote which has already been supplied to the defendant.
The defendant is in possession of all reports and quotations and is fully aware.
The claimant also seeks ancillary losses namely X X X and X X X amounting to £ZZZ

Can you just remind me – because there's so much going on that I am losing my way – are you sending this particulars of claim and then a more detailed version separately or is this what you sending?

 

Also, can you tell me what the "unforeseen circumstances" are likely to be. In other words can you tell me what you foresee is likely to be unforeseeable

Damage to the LED tape lighting on the island which would have to be completely replaced inits entirety and materials. Are the courts still running during the virus for small claims and if i submit the claim and pay the fee and this company goes out of business would i lose the fee. Thanks.

In that case get a firm price for the LED tape lighting. Even if you have to estimate it – put in a figure. You cannot simply say that you are claiming for unforeseeable circumstances.

If the company goes out of business – yes you will lose the fee. On the other hand, if you were to put the claim in now, there is a fair chance that they won't respond and you'll get a default judgement – but of course if you can't force it then you will lose the fee. On the other hand, if they go out of business then you will have lost everything

Would it be best to see if they are still trading first before putting the claim in.

The tape was specially made for the island an exact fit if that makes sense.

Around £350 pounds plus installation.

It's up to you. I'm afraid I can't decide for you. Don't forget that this virus lockdown is open-ended – and even when it ends, lots of businesses might try to get going and then stagger to a halt.

On the other hand, if you issue proceedings now, things will probably move on although maybe a bit more slowly – that you may get the judgement you want or it may go to an online hearing.

Also, don't forget that even if they were still in existence, if you got the judgement against them they could still wind themselves up and leave you with nothing. I'm afraid this is the kind of risk that you have to take.

the courts are doing quite a few hearings by phone conference calls atm.

If you submit a claim and the company responds they may well ask for mediation. If you agree to that be careful as to who does that, sometimes the industry's own Trade Associations do the work and they have a vested interest.

 

The way things have progressed there will be NO mediation on their part.

 

Unless i send the claim as they've offered tiny settlements each time i've gotten more serious.
