    • You can be sure that pardoning himself, stopping the other prosecutions and vengeance will be his first priorities if he wins. i dont think he will win, but no surety on that
    • The other cases aren't going to happen before November though, are they? Reporters are saying he can't pardon himself for a state conviction. He would have to lean on the governor of New York state, as I understand it.
    • I am requesting your assistance to how I should go about a serious breach of my privacy that occurred during my stay at one of IHG’s hotel on Ma 2023. Having previously had items taken from my hotel room elsewhere I take the added precaution of using a security camera app on my device whenever I stay in a hotel room. The recordings are date and time stamped and it cannot be adjusted by the end user.   On this particular occasion I discovered evidence from my personal security camera recordings of a spy camera had been placed underneath my door, and can be seen moving along the base of the door for approximately 15 seconds.   The spy camera is in fact marketed as an inspection device of drains primarily but is known to be used in observing spaces difficult to enter. It is a usb endoscopic camera that has a length flexible cable that is semi rigid and can negotiate any obstruction by bending. The operator can be up to 3-4 metres away.   Infuriated as I had previously stayed with them in 2022 for 3 months at £260 per night that they would seek to question my honesty and invade my privacy. I immediately called reception and asked why they would do such a thing and if they had any concerns they were welcome to inspect my room and go through my personal belongings and ask me anything they wanted to. I was sleeping for the best part of my stay and was alone throughout.   I sent the recordings to the receptionist within the hour of finding them and I asked to speak to the manager of the hotel who I was told wasn’t present. I tried to have face to face meetings with him but he instead wrote to me denying the recordings were made at their hotel stating that they didn’t observe anyone in the corridor at the time of the recordings and that they don’t have a metal bar at the interface of the tile and carpet which corresponds to the overlying door. I rejected that statement on the grounds the video doesn’t show a bar but a reflection of light on the tile and you wouldn’t see a person outside my door because the cable is black and runs along the floor. If you don’t look for this you won’t see it. The matter was passed up to the area manager and he also denied the allegation. This is where the matter ends as far as IHG are concerned. Leading a busy work and family life I let the matter go but I found myself back at the same hotel a year later. I booked for  2 nights and was given a room facing the lobby door that led to the lifts. Unfortunately, from the hours of 3am I was woken up by the noise of the door opening and closing but also noticed shadows of a person standing in front of my door. At first I took no notice and put this down to a guest waiting for someone but the person or persons returned several times, standing outside my door for up to several minutes. I called the hotel reception and asked if there was an issue  on my floor and they said they would come up to check. They never said they would check the CCTV and as the incidents continued to happen up to 8am I called them 6 times. Given my past experience I didn’t think they took security as serious a# her establishments and made them observe the Cctv and let me know. The explanation I was given was that they could see residents there but they were heading down to breakfast. The time that I had noticed these feet by door was from 3am and breakfast started at 6.30am. It also didn’t explain why they would stand by my door for anything longer than 10seconds and if they were waiting for someone how likely is it that this scenario is played out 6 times when there was only 12 rooms per floor. Later that morning when I went down for breakfast the manager said he would move me to a room at the end of the corridor and asked me what my plans were for the day, essentially when would I be in the hotel. I stated that for the day I was out. He then said that all his staff were uncomfortable about me being a guest and said that I was not welcome there anymore. I had paid for the two nights but when it came to the end of the day I didn’t feel that I would be able to rest at the hotel given the hostility so I returned the next day to collect my remaining belongings, namely items of clothing, an iPhone charging cable and plug, and toiletries. Checkout was at 2pm and I was at the hotel at 3pm. All my belongings were gone and they couldn’t locate the items.  I plan to report the incident of the spy camera to the police, as well as the theft, and write to the hotel emphasising that this breach of privacy is unacceptable and the hotel's failure to properly investigate and address the issue is deeply concerning. The fact that I requested security checks to ensure my safety in the early hours was reasonable, yet their response to ban from the premises was excessive and even possibly discriminatory as I had revealed to them that I had been a victim of a hate crime given my sexuality. . I am seeking compensation for the infringement of my privacy, the lack of proper investigation, and the being humiliated and made to feel like an undesirable. I will request a full refund of my two-night stay totaling £390. Additionally, I will request compensation for the cost of my previous stay when the infringement occurred, which was £220. I am also considering damages for the infringement of my privacy but at a loss as to what this would equate to. I will close the letter giving them a 14 day timeframe to respond.    Is there anything you feel i need to consider here? Many thanks   
    • oF course, this is all just the start. trump is dragging it out as much as possible hoping to pardon himself, but the barrier the yanks had about admitting that a pres could be such a piece of err work has been broken and there is many more to come. His current criminal charges are extremely unlikely to result in jail time or anything other than fines  - but with some of the other charges - jail is pretty much mandatory - especially for one not only not on a first offense - but with others stacked up

    • 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.

AFAIK

Apply for execution of judgement 

apply for a warrant.

This is all from MCOL:

 

 

"Claim History

Your claim was issued on 19/12/2022

You submitted a judgment against Close Brothers on 10/01/2023 at 14:22:16

Your judgment against Close Brothers was issued on 11/01/2023 at 19:09:04"

 

 

Warrant - Guidance

Step 1 of 8

 

Each step is completed by clicking 'Next' at the bottom of the page, which automatically confirms and saves the information you have entered. Any error messages displayed at the top of a page must be corrected before moving on to the next step.

Before you can complete your warrant request:

you must have a valid judgment against the defendant(s), either in default or by admission

and

the defendant(s) must be in default of the judgment order, ie failed to pay the amount ordered or be in arrears with an instalment order

The minimum amount you can issue a warrant for is £50, or one monthly instalment, whichever is the greater amount.

The maximum amount you can issue a warrant for is £5000 (including costs), unless you are enforcing an agreement made under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 in which case you may issue a warrant for up to the claim amount.

If the Judgment is for over £5000 and payable forthwith or in full by a certain date, you cannot request a warrant unless it relates to the Consumer Credit Act 1974, in which case you may issue a warrant for up to the claim amount.

If the judgment is payable by instalments of less than £5000 you can issue a warrant provided the defendant has defaulted on the instalments. The amount of the warrant must be at least one instalment but can be anything up to £5000.00 unless it relates to the Consumer Credit Act 1974, in which case you may issue a warrant for up to the claim amount.

The fee to issue a warrant is £83. The warrant will be sent for execution to the court covering the address you gave for the defendant.

section 11 from above.

 

SECTION 11 – CONSEQUENCES OF THE DEFENDANT FAILING TO RESPOND ON TIME

Consequences of the defendant failing to respond to the court on time: judgment in default of responding

11.1(1) If the defendant does not, on time, contact the court, submit a time extension form (if appropriate) and submit to the court a completed response form or a paper response form, the claimant may request that the court make a judgment in default unless subparagraph (2A) applies.

11.1(2) The claimant may request a judgment in default by completing and submitting form OCON205A (“judgment in default form”) online using the OCMC website. When requesting judgment, the claimant may also specify their repayment plan (as defined).

(2A) If there is a moratorium in place under the Debt Respite Scheme (Breathing Space Moratorium and Mental Health Crisis Moratorium) (England and Wales) Regulations 2020, so that a claimant needs the court’s permission to apply for a default judgment, the claimant must make an application to the court in accordance with Civil Procedure Rules Part 23. If the court receives such an application, it must send the claim out of Online Civil Money Claims.

(3) If the court receives a request for judgment in default, it must “enter judgment” (as defined), unless paragraph 11.1A applies (When default judgment cannot be made).

(4) If the claimant has specified a repayment plan in the request for judgment, the judgment must state that repayment is to be made in accordance with that repayment plan, unless, at the time the judgment is made, a repayment date specified in the repayment plan has passed.

(5) If a repayment date specified in the repayment plan has passed before the judgment is made, the judgment must still be made in accordance with that repayment plan, but –

(a) if the repayment plan states that the whole of the amount owed is to be paid by a date that has passed, the judgment must state that repayment must be made immediately;

(b) if the repayment plan states that the amount owed is to be paid by instalments and the date of the first instalment has passed, the judgment must state that the first instalment must be made by a date that is one calendar month after the date of the judgment.

(6) If the claimant has not specified a repayment plan in the request for judgment, the judgment must state that the whole amount owed must be repaid in immediately.

(7) The judgment will be made for the amount of –

(a) the claim;

(b) any interest that the claimant is entitled to and has claimed on the claim form; and

(c) court fees,

minus any payments of the amount owed on the claim form that the defendant has already paid.

(If a claimant wants to claim any costs other than court fees, for example the costs of paying for expert evidence, the claimant would have to make an application under Civil Procedure Rules Part 23. Under Section 17 of this Practice Direction, the claimant would have to contact the court about this, and any Part 23 application would then be considered by a judge. The claim may be sent out of OCMC under to paragraph 17.1(2)).

You only have to transfer it out if you are using County Court Bailiffs ...which I surmise your not.
