    • 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.

It would seem that God is on Johnson 'the Prince of Lies' side (sic) .. or at least the (crusader) Catholic Church is:

How else could a double divorcee be married in a Catholic church?

Surely only God could allow that? (and in doing so re-envision the bible and the Catholic faith)

 

1. Divorce, understood as the dissolution of a marriage, is not possible between two baptized persons

Guess who said that? Not just a vicar of Christ, but Jesus Christ himself! Jesus forbids divorce, decreeing that husband and wife are “no longer two but one. What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder” (Matt. 19:6). St. Paul is consistent with Jesus’ teaching: 

To the married I give charge, not I but the Lord, that the wife should not separate from her husband (but if she does, let her remain single or else be reconciled to her husband)—and that the husband should not divorce his wife” (1 Cor. 7:10-11).

The Church is clear that “a ratified and consummated marriage cannot be dissolved by any human power or for any reason other than death” (CCC 2382).

One of the reasons for the new Royal Yacht, was that it could be used as a floating venue for UK trade missions.

 

 

One of the claimed reasons from Johnson and Truss (not worth the paper its written on)

 

Other than that:

Australian sheep shows?

chlorinated Battery chicken transport?

Transporting bitcoin profits from freeports? .. to some other tax haven ..

 

I think as a venue festivities post Boris Johnsons next half dozen Catholic church marriages seems most realistic ..

I would rather they spent money on investing in new UK technology start up companies to replace the ones that have been bought by Chinese, US investors etc.

 

 

Absolutely

Look at the out of date Nissan battery factory Johnson raved about as Nissan investing

.. Nissan sold it off to a venture capital firm (asset pension stripping?)

 

Now there is the promise of a breakthrough within 10 years (again) for metal-ion batteries

but for the 20 years until then, why not break the mold and go real steam punk

- Electric cars with smaller battery capacity - which could even be more traditional batteries for small trips - all with very small hydrogen ( plus /gas/propane fall back capability) burning engines which just charge the batteries to extend the range?

All existing technologies with various easy options which will be very able to take advantage of technological break throughs in 'battery' capabilities

 

But that of course would require investment in the nation .. not cronies pockets

Well, when you have an 'ethics Tzar that seems to expect none

and the donations watchdog that seems to just look for an excuse to say all is fine, and even the previously more reputable news outlets just mainly playing along or saying nothing:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/tory-donations-companies-labour-investigation-b1860204.html

 

“We published information that the Conservative Party had accepted a £10,000 donation from Stridewell Estates in November 2019 (reference CO545454), and a donation from Landcap Development Eversley Ltd in December 2019 (reference CO545455).

“In both cases, these were errors on the part of the commission.

“The party reported to us that it had accepted the donations from different companies, Kirklee Property Company 2 Limited and Landcap Limited respectively."

 

 

yet a quick look at 2 of the companies involved show that they are run by people with the same name, and at superficial glance they seem to be 'investment' companies that are run for a while, then liquidated with debts while another company directed by the same people carry on.

Have the GLP been awarded £600,000 in costs as the Guv claimed they would?

They should.

 

But in the end what will be done given Johnson has a number of 'unlawful' judgements against him doesn't he - with sod all to pay and no penalties

Unlawfully proroguing parliament for one - arguably treason.

Breaking populist style news

 

Two men charged with allegedly sending grossly offensive, indecent, obscene, or menacing message or matter via a public communication network.

The material was alleged to contain images of Home Secretary Priti Patel.

The two men are also alleged to have sent racist material, potentially adding to their crimes.

 

It should be noted that the current home secretary, in between bouts of hurling abuse at those under her control,  has previously complained about a cartoon being racist as she saw it as showing her as a 'fat cow', despite the cartoon also showing whiter than Daz washed whites Johnson similarly.

 

Although the cartoon did show both Patel and Johnson with bovine features, it was seen by most as a simple statement on her BULLying and  a comment on what she and Boris Johnson continually spout - with no racist intent.

Biggest lie of all is that the bumbling idiocy is a cover for smartness.

Even the ERG *Steve Baker is using this to turn on him and Patel .. alongside the few remaining real Tories ...

his days would now really seem to be numbered, but I doubt we'll see much improvement with whatever numpty replaces him

You mean (for example) if a UK based Chinese owned company, wanted to trade with a French based Spanish owned company?

 

or were you more thinking of

if a UK based Unknown ownership due to tax haven privacy wanted to trade tax free with a US nominally based asset management company under US laws 

 

You'll need to be more precise HB ....

 

Of course, if you mean anyone trade through a UK freeport - then its nowt to do with the UK is it as the bribes will be paid indirectly through multiple tax havens and unregulated banking ?
