    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 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. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. 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.

    • 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 is rather misleading when the court refers to a bundle in Small Claim Track and obviously more appropriate for the claimant has they will have more to disclose. As the defendant your " Bundle " will consist of a copy of the claim/defence/statement and any disclosures (IE your CCA/CPR requests and any responses and any other document (could be court documents) that you may wish to refer/rely on to support your defence/statement.

 

As for drafting your statement there are plenty of examples that I have already done for other users...its important that it is drafted in the correct format and complies with the CPR/Courts directions.

 

Take a look around and find examples and have a go at drafting....we will check it before your ready to submit.

As already explained previously...bundle normally only applies to Fast Track complicated claims where there are 100s of documents...but if you really want belt and braces.....

Thanks Andy, when describing documents is it enough to put "CCA request" and "CPR request" or do I also need the relevant sections? now that I have things in one folder on the pc and don't have paperwork all over the place I'm finding it easier

 

Once I'm done preparing the paperwork do I need to staple or bind it or can it go straight into an envelope

 

Did I read somewhere here or did I imagine it that I should include a copy of the claimants witness statement?

 

With the copy of my defence should I print off the original I have save as a word doc or the court pdf copy that has reference only watermarks?

 

Could I please check that this is okay before I print it off and hand it in to the court and email it to the claimant

 

I have the witness statement which Andy very kindly helped with, this is largely unaltered the following documents are listed in the index

 

I have this index to the bundle and I have the documents mentioned in the index with each page numbered

If you wish to add exhibits mark the relevant paragraph's with " see Exhibit no xxx"

 

7.The defendant made a formal written request to the Claimant for them to provide a copy of my Consumer Credit Agreement as entitled to do so under sections 78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 on the XXth September 2021 along with the standard fee of £1.00 to which the defendant received a reply dated XXrd September 2021 putting their account on hold whilst they tried to gather the information. (See exhibit 1a CCA request)

 

Just looking at the statement again I cant see no mention of CPR 31.14 ?

It was sent at the same time as the CCA request, unlike the CCA request which the claimant acknowledged and put the account on hold it wasn't until the 12th of April 2022 that the claimant sent a letter which was a combined response to both currently shown in section 8 (now 9), does this sound okay? does 8 (now 9) need tweaking to reflect this

7. The defendant made a formal written CPR 31.14 request to the Claimant on the 17th September 2021.

well why have you got a problem then with understanding what andy says to do? its really really simple to follow.

 

the judge has not got a word for word checklist that a WS must look like and must be in these words or in this order, and even if he did, he would not say haha you got that wrong, and throw the whole case out.

There are still bits I don't properly understand DX, whilst I didn't think the judge would through the whole lot out I did worry that if not in the correct format some of it may be excluded

 

Andy in addition to creating a section before 7 to cover the CPR request I think 8 probably needs tweaking due to the below

 

I sent CCA section 78 & CPR 31.14 requests both dated 17/09/21 to the claimant, I received a response dated 23/09/21 from the claimant acknowledging my CCA & putting my account on hold, I received a combined response to my CCA & CPR requests from the claimant dated 12/04/2022 this contained what they refer to as reconstituted agreement, historic & varied terms and conditions, statements, notice of default, notice of assignment and letter before claim

 

To me it looks as though they have provided 2 reconstituted agreements which I uploaded in the second pdf, could someone please confirm that they have sent two, the two combined are 28 pages, do I need to include all 28 pages of this as an exhibit with my witness statement

 

I want to keep this as simple as possible whilst still providing anything essential so what of the following should be included with my witness statement:

 

Copy of the claim form

 

Copy of my defence

 

Copy of my CCA section 78 request

 

Copy of my CPR 31.14 request

 

Both reconstituted agreements, all 28 pages?

 

Is there anything else I should include?

 

Sorry I know some of this has probably been answered but I have read this thread multiple times and the more times I read it the more confused I get

 

Thanks

Sorry I know some of this has probably been answered but I have read this thread multiple times and the more times I read it the more confused I get

So that's 3 exhibits as above to attach to the statement and numbered Exhibit 1a/2a/3a and marked same after the corresponding paragraph then attach an index sheet with the exhibits listed 1a/2a/3a  and named CCA request/CPR Request/ Reconstituted agreement.

 

Job done.

Should the copy of the claim form and copy of my defence be included with the paperwork I send but not mentioned in the witness statement and listed in the index instead? Or should I leave them out altogether

 

The two reconstituted agreements are different, one says that I have applied through moneysupermarket group (one referenced in witness statement I think) and the terms & conditions are different

 

So with exhibits at the end of the relevant paragraph do I put: A copy of my CCA request exhibit 1A can be seen on page 4, mark the CCA request as page 4 or does the CCA request copy also need to say Exhibit 1A on it

 

Any thoughts on the wording or the alterations to the witness statement in respect to CCA & CPR requests?

 

Thanks

I must admit I have never in my time here on CAG spent so much time explaining how a witness statement and exhibits are put together...have you even looked at any other users examples ?

Sorry Andy I wasn't thinking clearly, thanks for all your help

Since filing my witness statement I have received a hearsay notice from the claimant,

the deadline for the claimant to pay the trial fee has passed but still no word from the court and nothing on mcol, I don't know whether they paid the trial fee or not,

I have tried to contact the court without success, I sent them an email only to get an automated reply saying they aim to reply within 20 working days.

I wont be able to make the hearing if it goes ahead, I need to let the court and claimant know,

is there anything in particular that I need to say?

Thanks

mcol wont show the fee as the claim was long ago allocated to your local court.

Why can you now not attend the hearing?

Ideally you should have attached a Notice to your statement informing the court/claimant sol of none attendance, the notice should state that pursuant to sec 27.9 CPR you will not be available for the hearing.
