    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

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
