    • In my time I've never seen a payout/commission from a PPC to a landlord/MA. Normally the installation of all the cameras/payment of warden patrols etc is free but PPCs keep 100% of the ticket revenue. Not saying it doesn't happen mind. I've done some more digging on this: Remember, what your lease doesn't say is just as important as what it does say. If your lease doesn't mention a parking scheme/employment of a PPC/Paying PCNs etc you're under no legal obligation to play along to the PPC's or the MA's "Terms and conditions". I highly doubt your lease had a variation in place to bring in this permit system. Your lease will likely have a "quiet enjoyment" clause for your demised space and the common areas and having to fight a PPC/MA just to park would breach that. Your lease has supremacy of contract, but I do agree it's worth keeping cool and not parking there (and hence getting PCNs) for a couple months just so that the PPC doesn't get blinded by greed and go nuclear on you if you have 4 or 5 PCNs outstanding. At your next AGM, bring it up that the parking controls need to be removed and mention the legal reasons why. One reason is that under S37(5b) Landlord and Tenant Act 1987,  more than 75% of leaseholders and/or the landlord would have needed to agree, and less than 10% opposed, for the variation to take place. I highly doubt a ballot even happened before the PPC was bought in so OPS even being there is unlawful, breaching the terms of your lease. In this legal sense,  the communal vote of the "directors" of the freehold company would have counted for ONE vote of however many flats there are (leases/tenants) + 1 (landlord). It's going to be interesting to see where this goes.  
    • @Whyisitthisthank you very much for asking. I am still feeling anxious, especially when someone rings the doorbell, or when I receive a letter I feel a it paranoid. I stopped going to the shops unless I really have to. I shop online now. When I see security I feel paralised. 
    • My expectation was their WS would include the best paperwork, like at least true copies of originals, but these just look wrong somehow, perhaps the font and size of font... Not sending me the DN in CCA request but producing it for evidence I would argue could be a tactic used by them... - Page 11 with ticks - there is no reference to IP addresses - Home addresses are correct for dates in documents   Just looking up example Defendant WS's while awaiting your thoughts on this
    • Hello lovely, just posting to check in to see how you are feeling now? Hopefully your feeling better?

    • 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

Interesting that Starmer is telling the Tories/Populists that they need to get rid of Johnson for the good of the Nation and the Tory party, despite any change from Johnson probably not being in Labours best interests ...

 

... So how did that go when Cameron suggested that to Labour/Corbynistas of Corbyn?

 

?

Some may think Annette Dittert's article in the New Statesman is alarmist: I don't. She has experience of the UK and Poland and I think she's very perceptive.

 

Legislation that's being proposed by Patel and Raab is also worrying.

This government is hammering away at the foundations of a free society. Look to Warsaw to see where that can lead.

I think the following comment says it all

 

Today, a former Danish minister was sentenced to 60 days in jail for breaking the ministerial code. As one commentator said, we’d rather not become the UK so we are relieved to see that the judiciary works.

Dont worry .. the Tories will just put him on a back burner until it blows over

 

Hopefully he'll get the lib-dems a few thousand votes though.

Labour and green voters there should vote lib-dem

I don't think I've seen this before. The whole leadership of the 1922 committee has withdrawn its support from the PM and is accepting letters over the Xmas recess. 

 

Interesting timing and I guess some will wait for the result of the byelection in North Shropshire.

Makes the MET complicit, perhaps they better investigate and prosecute themselves. Cressida Dick is useless.  She has the "accidental" killing of an innocent Brazilian on the tube to her discredit.

Interesting ...

 

"In recent weeks, Mr Kyle had spoken out about the Northern Ireland Protocol claiming it had potential to offer “significant opportunities” if fundamental changes were made to it.

Most unionists are fiercely opposed to the post-Brexit arrangements which include further checks on goods arriving into the region from Great Britain regarding it as a border in the Irish Sea."

This is my tweet of the day from Armando Ianucci answering Oliver Dowden on 'cancel culture'.

 

If you’re against Cancel Culture, why are you banning demonstrations, stripping people of citizenship, selling off TV networks you don’t like, neutering the Electoral Commission, proroguing Parliament, and enforcing voting restrictions on those who don’t have an ID card?
