    • How much of the documentation have you seen from when probate was obtained? And do you have a copy of the original will? I can't remember.

    • Hi guys, I am about to file my defence via email as cannot log in to the claim anymore.  Can you please advise if I can paste below and if it's good to go for now, or should I add anything else in?  Thanks!  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4.  The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made.  1.  The Defendant is the recorded keeper of vehicle xxxx xxx.  2.  It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant - Parking Eye LTD.  3.  As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance.  The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner.  Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim.   4.  In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant.  5.  The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer.   6.  The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety.  It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

Your insurance requirement is unlawful and is contrary to section 57 of the Consumer Rights Act, and also section 72 of the same statute. I would also refer you to the outcomes in PENCHEV v P2G (225MC852) and SMIRNOVS v P2G (27MC729).  My deadline for action - 1 May 2024 - still stands, and if P2G wish to avoid the addition of court costs and interest to my claim, you may wish to respond positively before that date.

    • 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 see Sunaks trying to regenerate his leadership bid with the inevitable (as Johnson needed a distraction) windfall tax, by saying the energy market isnt working and batting any potential change (actually doing something) into the long grass - maybe while they wait for the flack on dodo to die down so she can run a UK VIPals energy system .... or labour win the next GE and he can forget all about it ...

Retro fit to Paterson and the criminal pervs - and corrupt/criminal/perverted tory MPs back in their seats laughing and Johnson has a bit more of a smokescreen to hide in ...

 

Most likely Johnson doesn't want another paterson issue next week when the next corrupt/whatever MP issue arises .. let lone pictures of ministers at some of the parties ..

 

But its is what Johnson does, break the rules, allow others to break the rules, then change the rules so breaking them isnt anymore.

Change the rules to fit the  bad/corrupt behavior ... scummy actions

Negotiations with Canada are going well, then.

 

Ralph Goodale, Canada's high commissioner to the U.K., said if Britain wants more access to Canadian markets for its cheese as part of a bilateral free-trade agreement, it will have to knock on Brussels' door and get its part of the dairy quota back. 

 

 

WWW.CBC.CA

The United Kingdom says it wants more access to Canada's domestic cheese market. The Canadian government is signalling that's not happening.

thats quite a surprise to me .. but when you only glance into it, it should have been seen by anyone with detailed knowledge of the international agreements ..

 

I'm seeing some strange reports re the energy companies responses to the oil drilling tax relief. Need to look a little deeper, but that is also quite a surprise to me if true, and raises some really serious questions ..

The UK may have (not) left the EU and be threatening to renege on their international agreements ..

but everyone else wants closer ties with the EU and WON'T renege on theirs .. many of which have far wider implications for international trade espacially in someone on the brink of a trade war with the EU generated by breaching international legally binding agreements.

 

Even without that understanding Brexit was Brexshit, with that extra understanding its utter twatishness.

 

Johnson and all his ilk need to be gone.

 

PLUS

 

Looks like at least some of the big energy companies are saying themselves that tax relief should be on renewable investment, not oil drilling ..

So who TF is pressing for tax  releif on north sea oil drilling?

and FAR more importantly why is it being actioned?

oh, and regarding the 'pressure' for the gov to give tax relief to largely useless to the UK public North sea oil drilling ..

... Seems its the UK gov is the unconscionable reprobate thats applying the pressure to expand oil drilling, not the industry ...

 

As set out in the British Energy Security strategy, and with Putin’s invasion of Ukraine illustrating the merit of this, North Sea oil and gas are going to be crucial to the UK’s domestic energy supply and security for the foreseeable future – so it is right we continue to encourage investment there,” a government spokesperson said.

"In response to the windfall tax announcement, Shell said on Thursday it still intended to spend 75 per cent of its planned £20-25bn investment in the UK energy system on low and zero-carbon products and services, while BP said it would look at the impact of the new levy and tax relief on its North Sea investment plans."

... presumably to take advantage (if any) of the tax relied
