    • I suggested consideration of bankruptcy some years ago. It was not well received.
    • That is a superb WS. However, I have a few tweaks to suggest. In (2) "indicating" not "indication". I think to be consistent with your numbering, in (6) the Beavis case should be EXHIBIT 2. Do you really need to include over 100 pages of Beavis?  I think that would be likely to annoy the judge.  Just try and find the bit where they decide it was not a penalty due to having an interest in limiting the time that vehicles can stay. I'll have a look myself for this bit later as it's highly likely to be in WSs from PPCs who think that that paragraph means all their charges are valid always on every occasion. After your current (7) add this.  It's always useful to refer to a judgment when making a legal point - 8.  In the case PCM vs Bull, Claim No. B4GF26K6, where the Defendant was issued parking tickets for parking on private roads with signage stating “No parking at any time”, District Judge Glen in his final statement mentioned that: “the notice was prohibitive and didn’t communicate any offer of parking and that landowners may have claim in trespass, but that was not under consideration”.   In (14) if my maths are right the CPR request should be "EXHIBIT 3".  it is missing from your list of exhibits. In (16) the two figures should be £100 and £170.  They are entitled to increase fro,m £60 to £100, they are not entitled to increase to £170.  To make it clear for the judge I would write - 16. The Claimant has artificially inflated their claim for a £100 invoice to £170. This is simply a poor attempt to circumvent the legal costs cap at small claims. 17. The Claimant has also invented a second fictitious charge, for legal representative's costs, when they have no legal representative. You also need ot number your exhibits. The rest is excellent - well done.
    • Did you ever think of walking away? Become bankrupt and in 12 months it'll all be behind you. My feeling is that you may well get nothing from the sale of the property anyway. Going by the date this thread started it looks like eight years of arrears, lender's costs and receiver’s fees on top.
    • Just to clarify - I make use of evening legal clinics. It is not always possible to see a lawyer (they have limited time and days/week).  This means questions one has may never get answered or there's weeks between follow-ups.   To be really clear - I am representing myself; I am playing at being lawyer/ barrister - which means I take help wherever I can get it (and then research it thoroughly). Ae - a judge in a recent hearing pointed out the receiver is not part of my current proceedings - and suggested I have a separate claim v the receiver. Disclosure has presented damning evidence v the receiver  The receiver against whom I have a complaint is not part of the receiver governing body.   The receivership is in 2 names - a joint one.  My complaint is directed at whom I was told is the lead receiver.  The other named receiver IS a member of the governing body.  But he has now left the company.  And the lead receiver has retired - but is still a working consultant on my case.   All the evidence shows it was the 'lead' receiver who was doing all the  work/ the misbehaviour.   But if the appointment was 'joint' would I make a complaint against them both?    I am sure that wouldn't go down well with the other receiver who is at the beginning of his career. The law is very much against borrowers.   But the evidence against this receivership is crystal clear.   I just don't know how and to whom to complain.   The places I've tried so far don't offer much transparency

    • 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


Recommended Posts

Its the 'nuclear' option of Johnson calling a general election (which the tories would almost certainly lose in a BIG way at the moment) thats undoubtedly holding many in check at the moment, although I think they are beginning to realise that they are going to need a fair bit of time to undo Johnsons, 'excesses, and that doing so will actually lose them some supporters to gain a chance of being elected.

- That many of the current ministers wouldn't continue to be ministers even under a ruling but changed Tory leadership with all their attendant multiple fabulously paid  'advisory roles' in the private sector at risk - holds others back.

 

As things are, I think labour will be the largest party, regaining about 80+ seats, with the Tories losing that many plus perhaps another 25-40 to the libs. it should be far more than that. but i don't underestimate the stupidity/lazyness of a significant portion of the UK electorate.

Such an embarrassment to have someone pretending to be a British PM who

* Lies,

* Cheats,

* Spins others misery to his own ends

* Protects water companies literally pouring excrement into British waterways and profits in shareholders pockets .. and even those millions of liters are less than the excrement he spouts

* Whips his party to protect corrupt pals

* Whips his party to leasve British kids hungry why trying to get someone to pay 150,000 quid for a treehouse for his ?latest? offspring.

* Protects energy companies excess profits until forced to tax them, then uses the extra taxation to fund more fracking and fossil fuel drilling

 

*** Bad as he looks, doesn't look bad enough to equate to the lying, self-serving, cheating ****** he actually is.

 

More than an embarrassment, hes an utter shame on us all.

From Newsnight's Lewis Goodall on Twitter.

 

NEW: Deputy Chief Whip Chris Pincher has resigned saying “last night I drank far too much. I’ve embarrassed myself and other people.” Conservative Party now without a Chairman and a Deputy Chief Whip.

Current Government is coming to an end ?.  Has the same feeling as John majors Tory party  in around 1995. Once a party has been the Government for 3 terms, then people start to become dissolutioned and want change.

 

Can Labour under Starmer win a majority in same way as Blair did in 1997  ?

I know what you mean about the end of the Major era. I think it's more likely to be an electoral coalition than Labour on its own, at the moment they don't seem to have enough of a margin.

 

This could be tricky if the PM goes for the nuclear option and calls an early election. Some Tories are orried he could do that so any election happens before the privileges committee has been able to report back on whether the PM deliberately lied to parliament.

Not the first time for Pincher is it?

 

Johnson has a rock and a VERY hard place problem now.

calling a general election has two risks

1. The tories (as seems likely) lose the election and Johnson is no longer PM

2. Johnson loses his seat (as also seems likely) and he is neither PM or MP

 

If he doesn't call an election, he keeps his MP and PM position (as even if he is found to have mislead parliament (lol how many times?)).

He wont resign whatever happens - and deposing seems rather unlikely - too many depend on him for their position

Note the issues are only as they affect Johnson - nowt else matters to him

 

The Tories seem to hope that the electorate just forget about all the many many lies/corruption/sleaze/economic collapse/being unable to eat or heat etc etc and vote them all back in.

I like your option 2. :)

 

It seems to me they're underestimating the public. Nearly two-thirds of voters want him gone and they aren't getting less angry about partygate, even if HMG are trying to pretend Covid has gone away. The constant drip-feed of sleaze isn't helping and I'm sure there's plenty more to come.

 

A thought on Chris Pincher: if he's done the right thing by resigning, how does that leave the PM who was caught in a very compromising position in his office? By an MP who some people say was knighted later on.

Thats the issue though ... the Tories seem to utterly believe that if they can put partygate behind them then all the other stuff like attempting to protect corruption (MPs, organised crime/police or oligarchs), pouring doodoo into waterways (excrement or fracking pollution) and British people unable to heat or eat doesn't matter.

 

... let alone voting rights, legal support or even the right to protest their corruption

 

Removing free health care and schooling next?

regarding pincher, i see the also-rans are out excusing him

 

* His morals were considered by Johnsons cabinet morals team - LOL

* Its down to the electorate in the end  (but he isnt going to go back to them until a general election)

 

No questions about

* are Johnsons cabinet office (lack of) morals crew not being sacked as they said it was fine for a previous offender to be put in that position to offenbd again ... yet again?

- Why have multiple ethics advisors quit .. and why was their recommendations ignored giving honest people little option other than quit?

- Is the party recalling him to actually put this issue to the electorate as you keep saying that its their ultimate cecision?

 

and why aren't these 'interviewers' asking these questions in anything other than an easily ignored way.

A bill of rights is a great idea - unless its defined by corrupt serve serving populists

.. in which case it should be called a  bill restricting rights, or more simply a Bill of Wrongs

 

I see pincher the pincher has now been suspended ... pending an attempt to delay/whitewash 'investigation' (like last time)

Pincher says he's going to get professional help now. Possibly taking his own advice as given to other MPs who are in trouble.

 

Changing the subject, this quote from the Chinese embassy is embarrassing for the government, at least it ought to be.

I wonder how the PM's weekend is going.

 

So far I've seen stories about him using a government plane to fly his wife and children back from Cornwall, an NAO investigation into the 40 hospitals he promised and hasn't made much progress on, another MP saying they were groped by Chris Pincher and threatening MPs with deselection if they vote to change the rules of the 1922 committee for the timing of confidence votes.

 

And the Daily Mail have dropped him.

But Johnson is NOT a Conservative in the accepted context, he is a feckless chancer out solely for himself,  he and his father promote Eugenics and Population Control, whilst knocking out sprogs with different women not  his wife at the time

Tory men do not have particular problem with sexual harassment

This is a surprise. The Telegraph has an article that acknowledges some of the economic downsides of Brexit.

but HB, he's lying to them all.

I don't think he can do any different

 

Thats likely to be his defense

 - I really believed the doodoo I kept pulling out of my own backside - ask anyone - everyone knows I'm a lying incompetent sociopath with no sense of honesty or honor. How could I know different.

 

.. Although his close associates will claim in their defense - How were we to know he was a lying incompetent sociopath with no sense of honesty or honor - we believed him.
