There is case law for this too. I remember a case of a woman who drove round & round a car park looking for a space at Bank Holiday time, and eventually gave up. She was sued and she won her case. Driving around is not parking. The cameras show when your daughter entered and left the car park, they don't show anything about parking. It's pretty clear that a Friday evening is peak time for shopping and there would be a lot of vehicles.

We're already moving in the right direction, as of today, C19 deaths are no longer the leading cause of death. We re-opened the economy last Summer, if you will recall, only after the number of deaths had fallen to single figures not per day, but per MONTH. BUT - that target hasn't been met yet this time - it's wrong for even ONE jobseeker to die who didn't need to be exposed. If the DWP had started calling back people in reverse age order to that in which the vaccines were distributed, so 18-20 first, then 20-25 etc, that I could understand. However, that consideration was not made - as far as I know. -
name names and whats the car and it s age? and some dates of each issue please the old trade sale dodgy went out the window a few years back.

Hi, we bought a car for £26k, the following day the batteries failed, sorted by garage, then noticed a coolant leak, sorted by me, discovered the car had been in significant accident, service history was incomplete. The car was advertised as being immaculate and being well cared for and having a comprehensive service history. We rejected the car under CPA 2015, garage did not comply. Then we tried an ADR (RAC) who were useless, claiming the car was a trade sale! we are not a trader, did not sign anything agreeing to a trade sale. So have now been advised by CAB that we could use Money Claims Online. Do you think we have a good case?

Post in Court Claim Against Hermes - item sent via Packlink was lost/tampered with **WON at mediation full amount **
jj58 posted a post in a topic,
Hi @BankFodder
Sorry for only updating you now, but after your guidance with submitting the claim it was pretty straight forward and I didn't want to unnecessarily waste your time. Especially with this guide you wrote here, so many thanks for that
So I issued the claim on day 15 and they requested more time to respond.
They took until the last day to respond and denied the claim, unsurprisingly saying my contract was with Packlink and not with them.
I opted for mediation, and it played out very similarly to other people's experiences.
In the first call I outlined my case, and I referred to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 as the reason to why I do in fact have a contract with them.
In the second call the mediator came back with an offer of the full amount of the phone and postage £146.93, but not the court costs. I said I was not willing to accept this and the mediator came across as a bit irritated that I would not accept this and said I should be flexible. I insisted that the law was on my side and I was willing to take them to court. The mediator went back to Hermes with what I said.
In the third call the mediator said that they would offer the full amount. However, he said that Hermes still thought that I should have taken the case against Packlink instead, and that they would try to recover the court costs themselves from Packlink.
To be fair to them, if Packlink wasn't based in Spain I would've made the claim against them instead. But since they are overseas and the law lets me take action against Hermes directly, it's the best way of trying to recover the money.
So this is a great win. Thank you so much for your help and all of the resources available on this site. It has helped me so much especially as someone who does not know anything about making money claims.
Many thanks, stay safe and have a good Christmas!
