    • Oh I see! thats confusing, for some reason the terms and conditions that Evri posted in that threads witness statement are slightly different than the t&cs on packlinks website. Their one says enter into a contract with the transport agency, but the website one says enter into a contract with paclink. via website: (c) Each User will enter into a contract with Packlink for the delivery of its Goods through the chosen Transport Agency. via evri witness statement in that thread: (c) Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency I read your post at #251, so I should use the second one (and changing the screenshot in the court bundle), since I am saying I have a contract with Evri? Is that correct EDIT: Oh I understand the rest of your conversation. you're saying if I was to do this i would have to fully adjust my ws to use the consumer rights act instead of rights of third parties. In that case should I just edit the terms and stick with the third parties plan?. And potentially if needed just bring up the CRA in the hearing, as you guys did in that thread  
    • First, those are the wrong terms,  read posts 240-250 of the thread ive linked to Second donough v stevenson should be more expanded. You should make refernece to the three fold duty of care test as well. Use below as guidance: The Defendant failed its duty of care to the Claimant. As found in Donoghue v Stevenson negligence is distinct and separate to any breach of contract. Furthermore, as held in the same case there need not be a contract between the Claimant and the Defendant for a duty to be established, which in the case of the Claimant on this occasion is the Defendant’s duty of care to the Claimant’s parcel whilst it is in their possession. By losing the Claimant’s parcel the Defendant has acted negligently and breached this duty of care. As such the Claimant avers that even if it is found that the Defendant not be liable in other ways, by means of breach of contract, should the court find there is no contract between Claimant and Defendant, the Claimant would still have rise to a claim on the grounds of the Defendant’s negligence and breach of duty of care to his parcel whilst it was in the Defendant’s possession, as there need not be a contract to give rise to a claim for breach of duty of care.  The court’s attention is further drawn to Caparo Industries plc v Dickman (1990), 2 AC 605 in which a three fold test was used to determine if a duty of care existed. The test required that: (i) Harm must be a reasonably foreseeable result of the defendant’s conduct; (ii) A relationship of proximity must exist and (iii) It must be fair, just and reasonable to impose liability.  
    • Thank you. here's the changes I made 1) removed indexed statement of truth 2) added donough v Stevenson in paragraph 40, just under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 paragraph about reasonable care and skill. i'm assuming this is a good place for it? 3) reworded paragraph 16 (now paragraph 12), and moved the t&cs paragraphs below it then. unless I understood you wrong it seems to fit well. or did you want me to remove the t&cs paragraphs entirely? attached is the updated draft, and thanks again for the help.

    • 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.

Huge well known company refused service as I requested written comms instead of phone call due to a disability.

 

They advised their normal process is to call this went to head office level complaints and they kept calling me long after I asked them to stop.

 

I've started a claim and going it alone, can anyone help me with some case law a lot of what I'm finding is under employment law rather than a service provider.

 

I'm not deaf but my disabilities make it hard for me to process verbal information and I made them aware of this in detail but they stuck to their guns that a phone call would be "required" if I wanted them to repair my car.

 

They communicated via email and text for almost a month insisting that they could only proceed with repairs if I would take a call.

 

For context the price I was originally quoted tripled and there was a lot of things that didn't seem right to me so I asked for Comms to be in writing as it had escalated beyond the realms of hi your cars ready that'll be X price please so I knew I wouldn't be able to understand, process and retain verbally.

Welcome to the Forum Hayley.

 

I think you will have to provide a lot more detail exactly what the problem is and why you are suing them.

Sorry I'm trying to give enough detail but also not give too much away as there's an ongoing claim.

 

In summary I took my car in for MOT they have a quote of £300 but said they needed to checke something else and a few days later and the quote is nearly £1000.

 

They didn't report any of these "new" problems on the gov.uk website as failures and some things they'd originally not mentioned as even advisories were all of a sudden major defects.

 

I wrote to head office asking them to explain did they originally miss these major defects or have these defects happened whilst they've had the car e.g have they broken something. 

 

I also asked if they could tell me why these new things are major defects in need of repair to pass the MOT but they weren't prepared to report these as MOT failures on the Gov.uk site.

 

I asked for all Comms in writing.

 

Area manager tries to call me and I explained my disability by text explaining how it makes processing verbal info difficult for me.

 

He ignored this and asked to arrange a call anyway and said he'd emailed back and fourth with head office about it but he can't email me because their usual process is calling.

 

The branch kept trying to call me and I made it clear to head office this was unwelcome and making me uncomfortable as I felt like they were trying to catch me off guard and they'd completely disregarded my request for a reasonable adjustment.

 

Even after I told head office that the calls were unwanted and harassing they kept calling.

 

Eventually after trying to get it resolved back and fourth by email and text for a month they said if I want them to fix my car a call would be required.

 

I've raised claims of failure to provide reasonable adjustments and harassment in relation to disability.

 

This is obviously the shortened version a lot went on here but that's a summary

Please consider naming the garage in question.

 

You have nothing to lose from this but they have everything to lose.

 

Members of the forum also deserve to know what ****** garages refuse to communicate in writing and call despite you telling them not to. (I am not disabled, and cannot fully appreciate how awful this must be for you but I HATE with a passion any of those companies. Telephone calls are an absolute nuisance, come at the worst of times, ring during work meetings, wake you up in the morning, don't leave a record etc etc.)

 The only thing not naming them achieves is to protect them. Do you feel responsible for protecting them? There is ZERO adverse action they can take based on you reporting facts on this forum.

  • AndyOrch changed the title to MOT Failure to provide breakdown of additional costs

Hi

 

Well you explained your disability to this company and your reason that you require communication in written format only (I assume email would have been ok).

 

You made a reasonable request due to your disability and the Area Manager/Company Head Office should have accepted your request.
.
Irrespective of that Companies Policies it does not negate there responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010

 

Please Name this Company
