    • Oh I see! thats confusing, for some reason the terms and conditions that Evri posted in that threads witness statement are slightly different than the t&cs on packlinks website. Their one says enter into a contract with the transport agency, but the website one says enter into a contract with paclink. via website: (c) Each User will enter into a contract with Packlink for the delivery of its Goods through the chosen Transport Agency. via evri witness statement in that thread: (c) Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency I read your post at #251, so I should use the second one (and changing the screenshot in the court bundle), since I am saying I have a contract with Evri? Is that correct EDIT: Oh I understand the rest of your conversation. you're saying if I was to do this i would have to fully adjust my ws to use the consumer rights act instead of rights of third parties. In that case should I just edit the terms and stick with the third parties plan?. And potentially if needed just bring up the CRA in the hearing, as you guys did in that thread  
    • First, those are the wrong terms,  read posts 240-250 of the thread ive linked to Second donough v stevenson should be more expanded. You should make refernece to the three fold duty of care test as well. Use below as guidance: The Defendant failed its duty of care to the Claimant. As found in Donoghue v Stevenson negligence is distinct and separate to any breach of contract. Furthermore, as held in the same case there need not be a contract between the Claimant and the Defendant for a duty to be established, which in the case of the Claimant on this occasion is the Defendant’s duty of care to the Claimant’s parcel whilst it is in their possession. By losing the Claimant’s parcel the Defendant has acted negligently and breached this duty of care. As such the Claimant avers that even if it is found that the Defendant not be liable in other ways, by means of breach of contract, should the court find there is no contract between Claimant and Defendant, the Claimant would still have rise to a claim on the grounds of the Defendant’s negligence and breach of duty of care to his parcel whilst it was in the Defendant’s possession, as there need not be a contract to give rise to a claim for breach of duty of care.  The court’s attention is further drawn to Caparo Industries plc v Dickman (1990), 2 AC 605 in which a three fold test was used to determine if a duty of care existed. The test required that: (i) Harm must be a reasonably foreseeable result of the defendant’s conduct; (ii) A relationship of proximity must exist and (iii) It must be fair, just and reasonable to impose liability.  
    • Thank you. here's the changes I made 1) removed indexed statement of truth 2) added donough v Stevenson in paragraph 40, just under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 paragraph about reasonable care and skill. i'm assuming this is a good place for it? 3) reworded paragraph 16 (now paragraph 12), and moved the t&cs paragraphs below it then. unless I understood you wrong it seems to fit well. or did you want me to remove the t&cs paragraphs entirely? attached is the updated draft, and thanks again for the help.

    • 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.

The sub-postmasters scandal


Recommended Posts

The issue is the changes and complexity of the interface to the PO board - especially the  guvs 'shareholder'. 

but all that aside, Vennells and the project sparrow board members MUST have known and evidence seems to be clearly saying they did - whether they claim to have not heard it/not read it/forgotton/whatever - it was their business and duty to know - and be responsible unlessd they were clearly INSTRUCTED otherwise - and those redacted minutes need to be unredacted.

We need to always remember that

1. The PO and Fujitsu knew of issues with the software causing shortfalls since 1999 - and their representatives lied and/or were instructed to say things which simply were known to be false in court during SPM prosecutions and to SPMs before those prosecutions

2. The post office not only knew that fujitsu had secret (seemingly entirely un-logged) remote access - and at some stages had a room full of people secretly (from SPMs) amending SPM accounts since 2014 -   and they also LIED IN COURT ABOUT IT

 

Prosecutions will hopefully start soon - once we get the criminals trying to hinder justice out of power

I think there would be public support for court cases. You would imagine they would be looking at perjury and perverting the course of justice for a start.

Not to mention clogging up the courts with SPM cases that were based on dodgy evidence. I don't think that's a crime though.

Big issue is the way the crims poopish have created and managed the 'enquiry' (sic certainly not an Inquiry) - not statutory, Vennells et al no requirement to answer owt or even attend ... innit?

- let alone the UKGI 'interface PO board <-> Guv

and they left Vennels et al largely in place until forced out by public opinion - who the heck leaves the causes in place to correct - well apart from other crims? (see also Cressida Dick)

Lets also not forget that 3 YEARS ago, on top of all the prior years of delay, obfuscation and avoidance ..

The government will not extend the remit of its inquiry into the sub-postmasters scandal.

"Business Minister Paul Scully rejected such calls saying it is important the inquiry reaches a swift conclusion.

He believes the current inquiry will deliver that more rapidly than would starting a new statutory inquiry."

 

WWW.BBC.CO.UK

Labour calls to widen remit of inquiry rebuffed by in interests of swift conclusion.

There has to be Ministerial collusion looking at all the evidence so maybe  past Ministers should join Vennells and others in the dock?

Dan Neidle and the Horizon Compensation Advisory Committee both wrote to the SRA about the Post Office and their lawyers using misleading terms in correspondence with SPMs. They asked them to act and the SRA has sent this.

I've yet to see any evidence that davey should go to jail - at least before every PO minister since. Anyone want to present some?

Like certain people dissing Blair for Iraq - when the finger at the source of the disinformation he and America used is pointed quite squarely at Netanyahu, and that is him specifically NOT mossad as Netanyahu (allegedly) tried to fire up a western assault on Iraq, Iran and Syria - and largely succeeded.

- and to be clear - as I have been before - despite war being a horror I think the war against Saddam was necessary even if some of the touted reasons were highly questionable (there were enough real reasons) and the corrupt and damaging aftermath was wrong in almost all ways.

Syria was another matter.

I think Vennells in the dock would be the catalyst for the BEIS and UKGI interfaces being named and what they knew and instructed - then them in the dock - could define what ministers did

.. which is why she isnt IMO

so who would have expected a company the size of the PO to get discounts and special rates to handle/manage the vast sums that go through it?

... rather than pay a couple of million to 'consultants' to advise them?

 

Malik Karim, who has given the Conservatives £1.6m since 2014, won two major deals last year through his finance firm Fenchurch Advisory, which were worth £1.5m and £175,000 respectively.

Documents uncovered by this publication show Fenchurch was handed the payments to offer the beleaguered Post Office “advice on banking services and the retail banking market”.

and when is banenough being pulled up for other instances of 'misleading Parliament' ?

Example:

"The business secretary told MPs “explicitly” last month that talks with Canada were “ongoing”, as a March cliff-edge for British carmakers approaches.

But the Canadian high commissioner to the UK, Ralph Goodale, wrote to the House of Commons business select committee to insist that such talks had not taken place, the Financial Times reported."

 

Badenough was rumored to have muttered:

'Well there was this canadian visitor chap in the foyer who said to me 'lovely place, do you work here' and I said something like 'Our countries have a great partnership' before I hurried off. That should count.

Interesting that when you do a google search on badenogh Staunton limited to last few days - there are a number removed due to 'privacy'/complaint issues inc farcebork - so leaping across to look via california and doing the same search .. lol

This looked ripe ...

 

Great visit to Smudgeonline with Cllr... - Kemi Badenoch MP


 
Are you going to apologise to Mr Staunton before you're sacked or after you're sacked?
 
 
Should be in the UK searches somewhere - but there does seem to be 'interference' errr 'different priorities' in the UK searches

So, even we have seen unequivocal evidence that Vennels knew, even before the release of the tapes by ITV & C4 news

So when is the BBC going to release the unredacted sparrow minutes they've had for some time?

I mean, its not like its a statutory enquiry or anything with powers .. yet

You would have to think why someone was recording the various meetings. I doubt it was standard practice and therefore the people now being exposed most likely never thought they would be caught out not answering questions accurately.

I suspect that there are more stories to come, because there must have been a lot of people aware of major failings with the Post Offices IT system at the time.  Hopefully Dan Niedle will find out the extent of the problems and reveal these.

We could do with some help from you.

I think Dan Neidle is looking at specific aspects of the case, UB. Other people are also trying hard, ITV News and Nick Wallis are working on it and Channel4 has shown a recording or two.

I was quite surprised too about there being recordings but it's a good thing they've come out now.
