    • I am sorry about getting your status mixed up.  I have noticed one thing in your excellent WS. On their claim they are only pursuing you as the keeper-I think it is  in their Point C that  states along the lines of -the driver did not pay , so the keeper is liable. So on your No keeper Liability section  You may prefer  to alter 13 to    . It is trite Law that the driver and the keeper cannot be regarded  as the same person and the claimant has failed to offer any proof who was driving.  BY  only pursuing the keeper  when the PCN does not comply with PoFA must mean that their claim fails. See what the Site team thinks as it should  stop the Judge from looking at who was driving as your statement preempts them from even thinking about it.
    • What would suffice as proof? I just emailed them back my date of birth. Should I send a copy of driving licence? 
    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Northampton   MCOL Northampton N1 ? Manual Claim CCMCC (Salford) ?

    • 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.

Ask if they will pay you 2 months pay to leave now. They save a month, you're free.

I went better and asked them to pay me 1 month and any leave due.  This was at the beginning of the week and nothing back.

 

I have found out this evening that they have replaced the secretary who left today (leaving secretary told me) apparently all staff know except me 🤬.

 

I will be chasing up partner again tomorrow but is there anything else I can do to force the issue, it doesn't seem right or professional!!!

 

Thanks again guys

Don't rule out possibility that the line manager that caused the original clash, has been telling others about your unprofessional behaviours etc. So you are now seen in a different light.

 

If this is the case they may just decide to pay you the month plus any leave owed and tell you that you can service notice period at home.

 

I have come across some odd characters in work places who will tell porkies to achieve what they want and you may be unfortunate to have come into contact with someone like this.

We could do with some help from you.

You are spot on unclebulgaria67.  I got an email form director this morning to say they were happy to agree  to reduce my notice period and I am on garden leave for next 3 weeks 🙂.  

 

Within hour of that email my laptop was shut off and all equipment collected from my home.  Felt like it was me who had done something wrong but I understand this is common practice.

Just one last thing before I leave you guys alone.  I mentioned this morning to HR lady when I was handing over passwords that I may spend a week or so with my sister who is abroad to get some head space.  She text me earlier saying she was jealous blah blah and had I booked a flight.  ( i havent) 

 

I then get my letter confirming dates etc for garden leave with a paragraph stressing that if I book a holiday I am in breach of the terms of my contract of employment ! My contract has no " gardening leave" clause and the handbook makes no reference to gardening leave. 

 

Are they being petty or is this an implied term when you are on garden leave.  Would have loved to go away for few weeks if flight prices were not so horrendous 😫 and don't want to rock boat when I got outcome I am happy with 

 

Thank you again

On garden leave you should be available to come in and answer any queries so no holiday is standard.

  • 4 weeks later...

So, just a quicky.  Garden leave has gone smoothly and I start new job next week.

 

  However, on Friday evening I received a couple of very abrupt text messages from the partner who runs the department I used to work in regarding a file which I started off but then transferred to another fee earner 11 months ago. 

 

I have had no dealings with this file since however client has made a complaint and partner is asking me to provide details of things I have no knowledge of.  After 11 months she is actually asking where the file is and where certain documents are !!  (the case has been completed so the fee earner dealing has clearly been able to progress the case) 

 

I understand I have to be helpful as I am still employed but I want to be careful how I respond as I have no information or knowledge 😕

No.  I just wanted to be careful with what I said.  Was going to say that without adding anything except that I was surprised it has taken 10 months for fee earner to question where file was.  Maybe that part is not a good idea and just keep it simple !

I agree with @honeybee13

 

In situations like this best to keep expressions of surprise or emotions out of your reply and stick politely to the facts.

 

Something along these lines maybe? "I passed the whole file over to XXX when they took over the case from me in mm/yyyy and I'm afraid I don't know where it is now. I do not have any of the documents you mention.  Sorry I am unable to help".  Adapt it for whatever your client/file handover procedure was.

 

There may be further developments on this though if the client's complaint covers periods when you were handling the case.  You may be asked for what you remeber about certain events or what documents in the file mean.

Thanks.  Yes i have gone back and more or less said what you advised.  TBH I am really surprised the case is still ongoing after all this time as it was a straight forward case but I will see if they come back to me.
