    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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.

From what I've read on CAG then sadly it seems to be very easy to dismiss someone who's been there for less than two year.

 

I expect people with more knowledge will be along shortly to advise you. In the meantime you could have a read of the ACAS website.

If you are in a probationary period I guess you haven't been there very long - less than 2 years? If so the answer is probably yes they can dismiss you. Certain exceptions but none appear relevant from what you've posted. Incidentally, you've titled the thread "Failed Probation" but what you describe doesn't sound like you personally have failed anything. It sounds like redundancy, the employer needs for financial reasons to reduce the number of employees doing whatever work it is that you do.

 

When you say 'on the spot' do you mean with literally no notice nor any pay in lieu of notice? The employer must comply with any notice periods in your contract. If you have been there for at least a month the notice period must be at least one week. If you are entitled to one week's notice the employer is though entitled to pay in lieu of notice, ie require you to leave the premises immediately but include an extra week's money in your final pay. See ACAS guidance here

Hi, Thanks for the reply.

 

It was in lieu, I guess I called it failed probation as I was told that I could be dismissed due to being on probation.

 

It was strange as the feedback was really positive but the company said they don’t have enough money coming and and can’t justify keeping my role going, yet they hired a new employee two days prior (in a different role)

Hi,

 

My friend was being bullied by a manager who kept saying that anonymous people were complaining about her, she is Asian and the minority where she works, s

 

he raised concerns in her meeting that she felt it had something to do with her race and gets treated differently to the rest of her colleagues due to off the cuff comments previously made and was told by her manager that as a minority she has to prove herself more as a minority in life and thats unfortunately the way it is.

 

 Following on from this they’re were more anonymous complaints all revolving around her attitude when speaking to the anonymous individual(s), she then had a meeting with hr initiated by her manager and expressed her concerns, no outcome was given as the hr person said it was informal

 

a week later she has been told that she is being made redundant,

 

my question is there were no specific incidents mentioned and my friend is still confused exactly how this came about but suspects it’s her manager who has taken a disliking to her, is this lawful?

It's not lawful to dismiss because she isn't working harder etc than other people.

 

but, can she prove it? does she have evidence of grievances etc? 

 

Is it an actual redundancy situation or are they just laying her off or failing her probation?

Hi Emmzzi,

 

As far as I know she hasn’t submitted a grievance before, she was going to submit one today as she received a letter inviting her to a meeting which is to discuss making her redundant (I thought the process had been completed), however I advised her to hold fire until I came onto the forum as I’m not sure whether it would be a good idea for her to do so before they have completed the redundancy process, She said she has emails which can prove she is being discriminated against.

So, I would start here by working out if it is really a redundancy.

 

https://www.gov.uk/redundancy-your-rights

 

I would also submit the grievance now, stating unfair treatment because of race. Don't include redundancy yet, as they are simply consulting at the moment from what you have said, so it's not an action yet.

so is the job really disappearing ? look at what makes a position redundant and see if what they are up to is actually redundancy or just plain old unfair dismissal.

In my time as a union lay rep it was a hell of a fight to get managment to accept that people's actions were motivated by rascism because of how it reflected on them. They had doe all the courses and said all the right things but couldnt bring themselves to loom at what was happening in the organisation . head in sand

Hi, 

 

My friend handed in her notice before the outbreak and was due to leave on Friday, however her company shut down on Monday and her new job is on hold due to the circumstances. Would she be able to continue claiming furlough and request that her job is reinstated until this is over?

 

Thanks in advance

She can ask her old employer; they don’t have to agree. New employer can do nothing for her.
