    • 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.

Personally, I think the later 'jolly business booze parties' revelations are even worse

 

Particular throwing a leaving do for Johnsons personal photographer the day before HM sat alone, masked at Phils funeral - demonstrates what utter contempt they have for the rest of us.

 

"According to the report of the No 10 gatherings, which lasted beyond midnight, witnesses said that “excessive alcohol” was drunk, attendees danced to music DJ’d by a special adviser and at one point a staffer was allegedly sent to a local Co-op supermarket with a suitcase which they filed with bottles of wine before returning to the party."

 

- well at least one of them apologised - after being caught that is

Setting the framework for Sue Greys expected whitwash(es),

I'll paraphrase (largely just a few specific names removed) a Met officers statements in court supporting a prosecution regarding a 40ish person open air gathering around the same time:

 

“It was a clear and blatant disregard of the recent easing of lockdown measures”

“I explained to **** that there needed to be consequences for her actions, namely organising such a large gathering during a time where there is still such a significant risk to public health.

 

“On this day in particular it was the funeral of His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip. The country is in mourning and only limited members of his close family were able to attend the ceremony."

 

“being so blasé about organising such a large and illegal event ..  is totally unacceptable and disrespectful in light of everything that is going on in the world.”

 

Person was found guilty and received a £12,000 fine + costs

Incredible, when you think about it, that the ceremonial funeral of His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh had fewer attendees than “Slacky”’s leaving do the night before.

Marina's right. Downing Street have apologised to HRH and it sounded fairly contrite. Buck House have refused to comment, I'd love to know what they might like to say if they could...

 

Meanwhile, the leader of Sheffield council has admitted to going to a party when she was part of the Covid Taskforce, along with other members of the team. It's never-ending.

The PM (no shocks with that tosspot)

Case - found out after being slotted in to whitewash parties he attended

The head of the covid task force ... definitely should be prosecuted and banned from public office just like the other 2

 

Seems to me the Gray 'report' is to point the finger at civil servants, which is all she can actually do, and take the heat off Johnson

 

Wheres all the leaks coming from?

Demonic is a first thought - but seems to me hes just jumping on the wagon

I think its the hard Brexiters who aren't getting their hard Brexit and want him corralled back into hard Brexit line or replaced.

 

That the remaining real Torys are up in arms is understandable - and simply true

 

Johnson will not resign, if it ever seems he has, its because there is a bigger gun to his head that all the wrath of God that will fall on him from so many places once he isnt PM

 

He will fight to keep position after a no confidence vote, he will fight if the tories lost every seat in the spring elections. He would try  hang on if if could if he went into a general election and the Tories came out with 2 seats.

Trump is his inspiration.

Only a very large gun to his head

Operation Save Big Dog: Boris Johnson draws up plan for officials to quit over partygate so he can keep job

Exclusive: The blueprint is designed to limit fallout from Sue Gray’s investigation, sources say

breaking-news%20%287%29.png

 

Boris Johnson is drawing up a list of officials to offer resignations over partygate in a bid to salvage his premiership, The Independent has learned.

 

Dubbed “Operation Save Big Dog” by the prime minister himself, the blueprint includes a drive to work out which heads should roll following the publication of senior official Sue Gray’s findings, as well as highlighting the prime minister’s achievements, according to sources.

 

You can read the full story here

Boris Johnson is said to have been aware of ‘wine time Fridays’ held in Downing Street during the coronavirus lockdowns.

Tory MP's will have to decide whether they can continue with Johnson. if it looks like there will be one scandal after another, which seems pretty likely, then I can see enough letters being received by the Chair of the 22 committee to trigger a leadership contest. And Johnson will not stick around to take part in this.

 

With the General Election due within 2 years, sensible MP's will be thinking they need to take action to rebuild trust with voters and that means a new leader.

I think he could cling on until the May local elections, but if those go badly, MPs might vote against him then.

 

For Labour, the longer he's there the better, as their ratings are going up. I'm sure they'd rather fight a GE agaiinst Johnson than any replacement that might have some credibility.

Not wishing to stand up for anyone who might be actually breaching regulations, let alone their own regulations,

 but I hardly think having A beer at the end of an official business visit to a labour MP is in any way comparable to throwing multiple parties during lockdown,

and is little more than a desperate febrile excuse to deflect from Johnson and cronies outrageous, repeated offenses

 

.. anymore than the time I had a beer and supper with my daughter and son in law after looking after my grandson while his parents  were at work in the same period

 

.. Dont you @snowdragon ?

The Keir Starmer issue is not new. Was raised in media after the Hartlepool by-election.

 

It was an evening election event in the local office and they stopped for a break for refreshments.

I didnt want to get to deep into arguing the detailed ins and outs of something patently not in the same game, let alone the same playing field.

and even if it was, it doesn't excuse, and shouldn't be used AS a deflection from Johnsons abuses .. as seems the intent of those Brex-press articles/forum posts even at a brief glance.

Dont get me wrong - I considered voting for Johnson rather than Corbyn, but we have more experience now

.. and i would vote for neither now

 

 

I'm genuinely interested how anyone could consider Johnson a viable option, or that Starmer would be 'as bad'

- so much so (dig intended - but not nastily) that they would post that item you did ..

TJ, I am not at all interested in politics , they can all go jump in the river, each is as bad  as the other, all full of promises to make you vote for them yet once in power they do not care one iota about you.

Johnson is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard, have no time for any off them. 

Them and the Royals want to try living like us and see how it feels, wondering  how to pay bills etc

Although I do somewhat (considerably) agree, that post of yours does perhaps seem to indicate something else at play

Dont see you posting far more valid, let alone far out critiques of Johnson?

Yes others are, and I always try to play devils advocate on my own beliefs *before I present them, but ...

 

Just wondering what was driving it

Just being frank (lol) - something 'incongruous' between the 'despise them all' and 'one sided' presentions

(and yes, my presentations are one sided - but I dont announce they are all as bad as one another - I say one is far worse)

Agree with Sandy, that many people are fed up with all in powerful positions, who appear to be letting the country down at the moment.

 

A growing percentage of the public, are arguably more interested in social media influencers than politicians.  Walk down any hight street in the UK and ask people to name say 5 Government ministers and 5 Labour shadow ministers.  I don't think the scoring would be very high !
