    • 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.

Bridgen has written to the head of the Met police asking for a meeting to discuss murder, corporate manslaughter and other alleged misdemeanors. He wants him to meet a bunch of his anti-vaxxer friends.

I'm trying to find an image of the letter than I can post as a pdf.

More on Michelle Donelan's apology and payment.

NEW: it seems that *taxpayers* covered the cost of Michelle Donelan's false accusations. Her department says a "nominal" sum was paid, "subject to all the usual cross-govet processes, & aims to reduce overall costs to the taxpayer that could result from protracted legal action."

This seems wrong to me. As someone else tweeted, is it in her job description to libel academics?

Lozza hasn't taken this well, has he?

I see Dan Wootton has left GB News now, after losing his Mail column a few months ago. The Sun are still investigating his behaviour when he was with them.

He's starting an independent channel online without regulation by what he calls the Ofcommunists. Odd because a lot of people think they've been rather lenient with GBeebies.

It's no wonder Labour haven't talked about all of their policies because it's highly likely the Tories will just steal them and then claim the credit.If your party's main policy seems to be culture wars and division, I suppose you don't have a lot of time for the practical stuff.

Personally I thought Hunt should have been told off for calling the deputy leader of the Labour party Angela, against parliamentary etiquette.

As for second home owners, Rayner underpaid by around £1500 according to one estimate. Someone else was referred to the parliamentary standards committee.

I can't post a link because of the firewall but the Times had an article yesterday that said the government plans use the NHS app to monitor step counts on people's smart phones, to 'help' them lead healthier lives and to get more people back into work.
