    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister

and regarding the Johnson I'll Party while you lockdown ... and you better not vist your grandma

 

 

The BBC has spoken to someone who attended the party at Downing Street on 18 December reported by the Daily Mirror this morning. (See 9.30am.) According to the BBC, the source said “several dozen” people were there, food and drink were laid on, people played party games and the event went on until past midnight.

Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak)

After @PippaCrerar and @danbloom1 scoop this morning, we're told by an attendee of drinks in No 10 on Dec 18th that there were 'several dozen' people there, with food, drink and games which went on past midnight... https://t.co/42taDI3SKu - No 10's said all rules were followed

- Which is a very carefully worded response from Kuenssberg ... given the rumors (unconfirmed - but also un-denied) that both her (Kuenssberg) and Peston were there ...
... Perhaps it was one of the other lockdown parties they attended

No 10 is looking at a “fresh war” with judges to let ministers “throw out any legal rulings they do not like”, according to The Times this morning. The newspaper claims Boris Johnson is keen to prevent the courts from overruling ministers through judicial reviews. One option is said to be an ‘Interpretation Bill’ to strike down findings the government is not too keen on.

Very worrying, TJ. They don't seem to want any kind of scrutiny.

 

Meanwhile, the latest wheeze is to withdraw passports and driving licences from 'middle class' users of type A drugs. Interesting, because Lindsay Hoyle wants to have sniffer dogs in the House - to try to counter drug use.

and regarding Politicians having second third and fourth jobs at immense hourly rates - jobs? lobbying/Promotion rackets?

- lets call them what they really are (IMO) protection rackets

It seems that in a number of cases, the MP contacts the companies offering their services ...

How do we think that goes?

 'hello I'm an MP I can advise you as long as it doesn't compromise my position and responsibilities s an MP"

or

"hello, me and my mates are on the commitees that regulate you industry, want to give me loads of money for a couple of hours a month ....

 

Sounds like a protection racket in all but name to me

 

 

 

So, Despite some (a few) MPs doing valuable charitable work in addition to their duties as an MP ..

Lets keep it simple:

If an MP isnt giving 100%, undiluted, to the constituents that voted them in and for which duties they are being handsomely paid

- they should voluntarily and immediately pi** off or be sacked.

So how is Johnson going to get out of the No 10 party debacle now? Surely he can't keep denying it now the Allegra Stratton video that was leaked to ITV News is all over Twitter.

 

Someone has said that the 2019 intake who were already annoyed about trying to dig Owen Paterson out of his mess, on government orders, are much more angry this time about being sent out to lie.

 

A lot of other people are very angry that they abided by the rules las Christmas, didn't see family and weren't able to be with their loved ones in their last moments. Most people think the government are just laughing at us, everyone else followed the rules and we didn't.

It wasn't a party, it was a well done meeting where people brought Cheese and wine and games were held and no one was there who wasn't there.

That not a party.

 

A party is where beer is drunk and crisps are ate, by plebs, and the plebs talk about it openly. apart from people who shouldn't have been there ... err

 I suppose it was worth a try, but I don't think many people are convinced. I don't think he even got his story straight about there being a party, but in any case it's someone else's fault and some staff could end up carrying the can. Referring it to the Cabinet Office could buy a bit of time but I don't see the public forgetting about this.

 

He's also refusing to investigate alleged parties in November in no 10, including one that Dominic Cummings has said was in the PM's flat, the Cab Office is only looking at 18th December.

 

Meanwhile, Pippa Crerar at the Mirror has asked anyone who was there to contact her in full anonymity.

Allegra Stratton resigns

Allegra Stratton, the prime minister’s former spokesperson, has resigned. Giving a patently sincere apology outside her home, in contrast to Boris Johnson’s non-apology in the Commons earlier, she did the honourable thing after the leak of the video from a year ago showing No 10 staff joking about holding a Christmas party. 

 

Her resignation does further confirm that it – “the event or non-event”, as Johnson called it – happened.  This won’t be the end of the story. I wrote about Johnson’s poor performance at Prime Minister’s Questions (see below), saying that he will continue to be asked about that and other parties until he comes up with a credible account of what happened. 

 

The public outrage is not going to force him from office, but “one rule for us and another rule for them” is a theme now firmly established in the public mind, as Andrew Grice wrote even before PMQs.

The Conservative party has been fined £17,800 over a donation to the Downing Street refurb.

 

https://www.lbc.co.uk/politics/conservative-party-hit-with-17-800-fine-over-pm-flat-refurb/

 

And it's being said that he may have lied to Lord Geidt the ethics tsar about when he knew where the money was coming from.

 

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/boris-johnson-accused-lying-probe-25655522

 

No wonder he wants to make the Electoral Commission less powerful. Also, this could be a further incentive for MPs and ministers to use 'exploding' WhatsApps, so there's no record of what's been said.

yes, Geidt apparently based his 'unwise but no fault' on Johnson the liars word that he didnt do anything wrong, and din't know where the funding was coming from - he (well nut nut) was just spending it

 

Seems Johnsons choice - Geidt must have neglected to actually properly question anyone else and just took Johnson the liars word!!

I see that Johnson now needs the support of Labour to implement his overdue AND likely full of holes and inconsistencies 'Plan b due to rebellion by Con refusniks

 

If i were labour I wouldn't despite extra measure being needed.

I would whip abstensions due to

* not being involved i the decision making

* Not trusting the implementation would not make matters worse while allowing ministers and pals to do whatever they want

 

and that the burden of responsibility for governing should be on the governing party who have demonstrated they are more than happy force through protections for their corrupt pals

Those stances by Johnson supporting those who break laws define more than anything his utter contempt for the UK public

 

Jenrick over ruling local councils to save millionaire pals millions - and wandering from estate to estate while the rest of us were locked down - supported by Johnson the corrupt liar

 

Cummings breaking lockdown rules and claims he was testing eyesight - Supported by Johnson the corrupt liar

 

Multiple parties and MPs without masks - while the rest of us were 'under orders' to stay isolated

 

Paterson using his position to promote his real employers - not only supported, but support whipped by Johnson the corrupt liar

 

Peerages and honors to Pals and Family ...

 

The list really does seem endless

 

Johnson has been a corrupt lying incompetent from day 1 and he'll die one.

Its a disgrace to our nation that he is an MP let alone PM.

Why Londoners voted for a lying buffoon to represent them I'll never know.
