    • 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.

I'm trying a new thread. My post has a high and the low as it happens, but your posts don't have to. I just thought it might be nice to have a sport discussion for people who are interested.

 

So Lewis Hamilton won Imola at the weekend and could well be world champion for a seventh time, equalling Ayrton Senna. And Mercedes secured the constructors' championship.

 

The sad news is that Sir Bobby Charlton has been diagnosed with dementia and I wish him and his family well.

I used to be a football fan going to matches, watching live games on TV and keeping up to date with all the latest stats.

 

I lost interest about 20 years ago when Premier League teams started to play 'foreign football', with slower build up play and theatrical dives after the slightest touch they received, hoping to get a free kick or penalty.

 

I am watching some of the Euro matches and hope England win, but I would be surprised If I started to watch football on a regular basis again.

Indeed and I'm not sure how England reaching the quarter finals was a good day for the 'Britis' either. I doubt Wales and Scotland see it that way.

Gary Lineker's advice to England fans, from Twitter.

 

'If you’re lucky enough to get a ticket for the final, please, please don’t boo the Italian anthem. A/ It’s an absolute belter and worth listening to. B/ It’s bloody rude, disrespectful and utterly classless.'

Mark Cavendish won again today as the Tour de France arrived in Carcassonne, despite having a puncture. The teamwork was brilliant throughout and he's now equalled Eddy Merckx' record for stage wins.

 

The IoM must be very proud.

Yeah - but that one looked a bit difficult... 

 

So... one more to beat Mercx's stage wins record.  Eight stages to go and a win on the Champs d'Elysee?  If he can get through the Pyrenees...

Last night was a high and a low. Yes the night was amazing but Italy played dirty and they should not have had a player on the pitch after his behaviour.

I don't think you're alone in thinking that about Italy, TGM. But I think the young England team and Gareth Southgate behaved superbly throughout the competition despite nasty comments on social media.

 

I don't think I could have handled things this well at their age.

I dont think l would have either. At 19years old l was not no way able to do that. let alone at 21 or 23. Hell My little boy is 18 in a few weeks and l could never imagine him doing that. Can we image playing professional football the Saturday then Monday being in college studying and doing our A levels while preparing for this and in the middle of a pandemic. I know at 19 l was working 2 jobs and looking after a neighbours girls while at college and that was bad enough. 

Italy have played dirty all threw the tournament and nothing done. IMO they should not have been in the final due to there players behaviour. 

Anyway as l said to my partner. this is only a practise run. We cant cure the hurt of something we have never won.

Well - this afternoon at the Olympics I saw what must be one of the most surprising and astonishing feats by a British sportswoman that I've ever seen. 

 

Emily Campbell won a weightlifting silver medal in the Women's +87kg category.  She is the first British woman ever to do so.  And the last British male to win a weightlifting medal was David Mercer and that was in 1984 (37 years ago) at the LA games.

 

It may not mean much to people who don't know a lot about weightlifting, but it's an almost unbelievable feat.  Unlike GB rowing (which gets about £20+ million funding per annum with virtually nothing to show for it this time round) and GB cycling, I don't think GB weightlifting gets any central funding.

 

She's 27 years old and only started lifting 5 years ago.

 

WELL DONE EMILY CAMPBELL!
