    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.
    • thats down to mcol making that option available for you to select, you cant force it. typically if there are known processing delays at northants bulk it will be atleast 14 days later if not more.
    • Thanks   Noting the day to apply for default judgement if necessary
    • nope, as the display model was not the colour the customer wanted. but your question is totally immaterial anyway as custom built doesn't come into it. dx
    • as long as aos is done by day 19 from the date on the claimform they get a total of 33 days to file a defence. (whereby the date top right on the claimform is ONE in the 33 day count) dx

    • 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.

Hi all, I am trying to save a copy of spreadsheet (before court, no interest) but when i save it it doesn't save to a word document. When i open it, it is blank!! Any advice would be great.

Save it as an excel spreadsheet to save your data then open a word document and import it into that document and save, however why bother saving as a word document just save it as a spread sheet anyone can access that if required. Hope this helps

If by acceptable you mean acceptable to the courts, then yes, absolutely no problem. They will only care about the information itself not what method you've used to present it.

 

But might I ask why?

 

Computer spreadsheets are ideal for this sort of job. Is it that you don't have the necessary program on your computer, that you don't have a printer, or just that you don't feel experienced enough with Microsoft Excel?

Strictly speaking, yes, you should have sent the schedule of charges.

 

But don't worry, it's not too late yet.

 

The first paragraph of Barclays standard defence will be to require "strict proof" of all the charges with amounts and dates. So you can then send your schedule to the court and to Barclays, making sure to quote your case number on both copies.

 

(If you claimed online through moneyclaim, don't send the court copy till the case has been transferred to your local court - less chance of getting lost)

Hi,

There are a few different ways it will go:

 

1) you will apply but they will try to get the judgement set aside (saying they didn't get paperwork etc) just a delaying tactic, then probably pay out once set aside.

2) The judge will ignore this and give you judgement by default. Then they will either pay out as ordered OR you send the bailiff's in to collect money.

Can you imagine how much I would LOVE to see that! Two blokes in puffa jackets marching into Barclays and demanding the cash, or the computers, or the furniture...

I have had an absolute nightmare. I have recieved a letter from the court to say that Barclay's has asked for my case to be struck out. I have been told to look at a website that list the civil procedure rules and to look at rule 3.4 and 16.2. From what i can make out i have done somethoing wrong in my particular's of claim. MCOL have told me that my claim was sent back to the judge on the 28th September, i have to wait until the district judge has decided wether to strike it out or not. It is totally all my own fault, i cannot believe i have jeopordized everything. What can i do ? If anything?

Do you know how stupid i was??? I typed up the particulars of claim onto money claim on line but didn't keep a copy. The court did tell me that in my particulars i included my name and my partner's name as it is a joint account and that she thinks you can only have one claimant. That's the problem they are not specific about what you have done wrong.
