    • 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.

Staff at a Highland hotel have been sacked and made homeless amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The owners of the Coylumbridge Hotel near Aviemore told workers who live at the hotel complex to leave the premises immediately.

They were given a letter, dated 19 March, to say the hotel was "taking the latest government advice" and that staff employment had been terminated.

Brittania Hotels later apologised and blamed an administrative error.

They have well and truly shot themselves in the foot .

They will never get over the bad publicity , social media is saying , boycott the hotel group .

Not sure if true , but Tripadvisor had to suspend reports on the hotel as well due to negative input .

Hotel workers are extremely vulnerable as they tend to be Live in All Found quite often, and the hotel has done itself more harm.  they should have let them stay as hotel is closed anyway, for time being, it would have been the right thing to do.

We could do with some help from you.

I just read the same thing about the Scottish highlands turning people in campervans away.

 

France has asked people in cities not to go away for the weekend and risk infecting people in country areas. They did last weekend and it didn't go down well. Moving around any country isn't a good idea IMHO.

take another viewpoint please....

 

sorry....but there is no harm at all in people going to Snowdonia, going to holiday homes wherever or coming :!: to the Scottish highlands.....even en-masse.

 

as long as they keep their personal space and awareness of giving/receiving a remote possibility of cross infection into consideration.

Wish people would calm the F down !

 

I am sure there will always be people making silly anxiety driven decisions or reacting out of fear, but in the situation the world is in, just allow time/space to think.  

 

There will be people and businesses making decisions which they will come to regret within hours/days.

 

And don't expect Government announced support to be instantly available . The number of people affected by the current circumstances runs into miilions of people. 

 

Hopefully within the next few weeks the country will be in a better place.

Lockdown is starting to happen anyway. In my local high street, cafes, bars and most shops are now closed until further notice.

 

A local B&Q was really busy yesterday, with people stocking up with DIY materials as they are expecting to be at home for a few weeks.

 

So from next week, the UK will be locking down, with only key workers going to work.

The more people move around, the more the virus spreads.

Think they are relying on an orderly voluntary shutdown before taking stern measures restricted shop opening is double edged sword, restocking the shelves will need to be planned, delivery drivers might be in short supply, as many will fall ill, who replaces them?  Volunteer retired HGV drivers with expired entitlements restored for duration, they are also in the at risk groups ,like the retired NHS workers they are asking to come back?  The chain of logistics isn't as simple as many think.

and you omit the most important advice someone says to heighten scare mongering..

as long as they keep their personal space and awareness of giving/receiving a remote possibility of cross infection into consideration.

 

just like above, you need to listen, read, and understand what experts say in the media….you want the virus to spread in a controlled manner then immunity in the population will reach levels whereby the virus will cease to be a viable threat. else it will return again and again.

Your second paragraph invalidates the first. You can't have it both ways I'm afraid

 

You mean herd immunity. When you say it's '' what experts say in the media'' who do you actually mean?

 

The health Minister has said it's not Government policy and the World Health Organisation has called it into question.

It seems to me that the science on this virus is uncertain.  It is best guesses on how this will play out, based on the evidence that is currently available.

There's another aspect of whether people who've had the virus once are actually immune. I haven't seen anything definite on this yet.

 

Well quite, that's one of the reasons why not a single government in the world has adopted herd ''immunity'' as a policy.
