    • Hi all! I've now had a "final notification letter" through from ECP. I assume I should continue to ignore this, but is there likely any action I need to take? Do you need to see a copy of the letter? Thanks
    • Please will you upload the defence in a PDF format document
    • Afternoon All - after 3 weeks of silence, this morning I received an email from HMCTS advising that P2G have rejected my claim. Decide whether to proceed Parcel2Go.com has rejected your claim. You need to decide whether to proceed with the claim. You need to respond before 4pm on 25 June 2024. Your claim won’t continue if you don’t respond by then. This is their ‘defence’ Their defence Why they disagree with the claim When choosing a service on the Defendants website, the Claimant chose to book their order with Evri and selected to take out £20 parcel protection which comes with the service. On the first page of the booking process, the Claimant entered the value of £265 for the contents and was offered parcel protection for loss or damages against their goods for £13.99 + VAT. The Claimant selected no, which then produced a pop up which explained 'We strongly recommend that you protect the full value of your item(s).' however, the Claimant still did not take this protection out and instead continued with the booking process. At the end of the booking process, the Claimant was offered this again which was refused and the Claimant continued with the booking by accepting the terms and conditions which re-iterates the information provided in the booking process. The parcel was sent, however, seems to be delayed in transit. The parcel finally started to track again, however, when delivered the parcel was empty with no contents. As such, the claim was re-opened and attempted to be settled for the £20 protection taken out in the booking process. This was refused by the Claimant as they felt they should be paid the full amount of the value entered when booking. Unfortunately, due to the refusal of the parcel protection in the booking process the Defendant is not liable to settle the claim to the value and only to the parcel protection taken out. The Defendant shall rely on the Terms and Conditions of carriage in particular section 9. The Defendant understands that the contents have not be handled with due care and attention, which is not being disputed, however, they are disputing the amount they are liable to. They have requested mediation, I’m sure not least to drag the case out even longer, but I can see no benefit to me in this and so shall reject it. As ever, I’d welcome your thoughts guys. g59   
    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.

    • 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.

Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)


Recommended Posts

This video is amusing, but not really funny, as it must be a pretty awful situation for anyone to take on a leadership role and then realise they don't have required personality, experience or skills. To be a PM now requires someone to be pretty exceptional, with experience of running a large complex organisation, as well as the personality to communicate effectively what they want to achieve.

So, do we think that the tories will sludger on with Hunt as the defacto premier and Truss a figurehead kept out of the limelight (and silent) as much as possible - just like they did Johnson?

Does seem their best bet rather than another deadweight no mandate Oh flip up leadership battle?

Truss isn't being very silent, an article appeared in the Sun late-ish yesterday. It's not clear to me if she's going in the same direction as Hunt. She's still talking in cult-speak - anti-growth coalition is still there.

 

'To deliver for the British people, we need to take on the anti-growth coalition threatening to hold us back.

Leading the charge are Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the SNP who don’t understand aspiration.

 

They just don’t get the British people. That is why they have no plan or vision for our country.'

Whats the alternatives?

 

Sunak and Mordaunt

Braverman and baderthanbadenough

Back to Johnson

 

Thats the issue - that the once tory party is in multiple faction uncivil war

Makes truss and Hunt seem a better option .. which in itself is a damning condemnation of the situation

 

Hunt has nothing to lose (Truss' fault) and everything to gain - going from a has-been to a grandee.

 

The entire set of populists need to be gone - they are hanging in trying to put time and voter forgetfulness between tory choices and policies and the voters

Probably work if they can get away with it.

 

The actual situation is so dire though - they have pretty much got to cut services (inc NHS and care) and raise taxes to pay for all the duff PPE and contracts - and ensure the fossil fuel energy company profits - if they can

I think this vlog from Peter Oborne sums up what I think may be true about Truss.  i.e., Truss/Kwarteng took deliberate actions for the benefit of Hedge fund managers and very wealthy people.

After being found guilty of a barrage of breaches, offenses and failures which caused pollution in Cambridgeshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire between May and September 2019.

- Anglain Water fined £1.2M

 

- just about what just the boss got in salary and bonuses 5 years ago

and barely  2% of total water company boss remuneration (loot) packages alone over the last 5 years

 

They should be in jail.

The Environment Agency has said Anglian Water admitted causing pollution at inland freshwaters on several occasions.

Just shows the media try to brainwash their readers and when it does not work, they change their viewpoint.

 

Once it looks like Labour are certain to win the next election, some of these newspapers will switch sides or simply not offer Tories any ongoing support.

I very much doubt that

It seems far more likely they will continue trying to blame the populist legacy on the new administration.

 

I mean, they've even tried to blame their own Brexit failures on others despite having a majority in parliament.

Heard quite a few comments from many Tories including George Osbourne saying that what we are starting to see, are the negative impacts of Brexit as predicted by the remain campaign. UK is now in a different position, as the financial markets now see a country that is without the support of the EU. 

 

When UK was part of the EU, although not part of the Eurozone, there was a strength in numbers protection, as the UK enjoyed a level of trade with EU countries. Now outside of the EU, the UK has struggled to achieve the trade deals outside of Europe, that will replace any lost trade.

 

UK has managed to get to a position, where they will struggle to keep the world financial markets happy and the consequences could be much worse than we are experiencing now.

I'm now waiting for the shills to start whining that reversing the budget has made things worse - based on figures to be released

- despite those figures already being that bad before the budget, and the budget actually making the figures worse.

What I meant, is that Tories are starting to comment on the impact of Brexit much more and of the problems it is causing. 

 

The name calling "remoaners" is now being used by a smaller number of fanatics and more people are now thinking their leave votes were a mistake.

 

Both Tories and Labour have a policy of making Brexit work, when the electorate may have changed their minds on what they believe is the best way forward for the UK.

While a few Tories seem to be recognising that Brexit hasn't done what we were promised, there's a section of the party or people just leaving it that still thinks every that's going wrong is the EU's fault. Even though we've left.

 

The thinking is that EU/Remainers are still in charge. So the story goes that Hunt was in Belgium when Truss contacted him, not on holiday as stated, but seeing the EU. And he's their puppet.

Strange that Starmer seems to be worried about losing the right wing Brexiter vote rather than the center and left remainer vote eh?

.. or is he more afraid of the Corbynista 'wingers not voting for him .. as if they would any more than the other 'winger Brexiters.

 

Mind you, the libdem resurgence seeming to be a damp squib according to polls might give him a little credence in that view.

With so many Tory MP's likely to be upset with what is going on, there must be a good chance of a general election within the next 6 months.   If a Tory PM (Truss or replacement) no longer has support of a majority of MP's and starts to lose important votes in Parliament, then a general election is likely to be called.

“some decency or honor“

ROFL

Now lets have a look at a few lefties 

who actually should show some decency and honour 

Miriam Margolyes and

The equally foul mouthed Angela Raynor

The leftie nurse who said that there was no need to resuscitate tories

The repugnant James OBrien who said that the government manipulated people to queue for the Queens lying in state 

Let’s not forget the tartan socialist who “detests Tories”

What about a mention for the people who thought it was a good idea to pour human excrement over the memorial to Col Sir Tom Moore

Or Rupa Huq MP perhaps 

The list goes on and on 

 

All very good at virtue signalling but scratch the surface and what do you find?
