    • 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.

Unfortunately me being directed here may well be too late as I have already filed a defence, which seems to go against advice given

Any assistance would be massively appreciated

Defence

Firstly, I wish to state that I have received no correspondence whatsoever on this matter and I am deeply shocked and stressed to receive a court document in this way.

I have never been requested to repay any amount to Adidas, if I had done so I would have provided them with the information below which they can check on their own account.

On discussion with my bank and checking all my bank and card statements I have not received any such refund as described from Adidas.

On contacting Adidas for my membership details they sent me evidence of the following transactions on my account:

30th July 2021 I placed an order AUKxxxxx to the value of £441.80 for 11 items.

6 items were returned using Royal Mail label provided by Adidas with tracking DAxxxxx. 

5th August 2021 I received a refund of £190.70 on receipt of returned goods 

3 items were later returned using Royal Mail label provided by Adidas with Tracking DAxxxxx. 25th August 2021 I received a refund of £202.10 on receipt of returned goods

20th September 2021 I placed an order AUxxxxx to the value of £371.12 for 9 items, 7 items were returned using Royal Mail label provided by Adidas with tracking DAxxxxx. 24th September 2021 I received a refund of £335.37 on receipt of
returned goods

In summary, I placed 2 orders to the value of £812.92

Returned items on 3 occasions using Royal Mail labels provided by Adidas with tracking numbers above.

I received refunds on receipt of goods to the value of £728.17.

Therefore the information that is contained in this application is incorrect and I respectfully request copies of all details
submitted to the Court by the Solicitor in this claim and that this claim be rejected

I wouldn't worry too much about your defence not conforming to our standard defence your claim is different to say a credit card or loan type of claim there really isn't a right or wrong response...you have put them to strict proof to disclose otherwise, you have proof of what was credited what was returned.

 

It's now for the claimant to prove otherwise and will be very difficult that goods were not returned more of a case of not received which will involve third parties which is not your problem.

 

Await allocation now if they wish to proceed and if so, we can sharpen your defence into an effective witness statement.

 

Andy.

Hi again

Just a question about when the 33 days would be taken from ?

Filed defence on 31st January so 33 days would have been 5th March

Received letter from court acknowledging defence on 3rd Feb, presuming Adidas got at same time 33 days would be tomorrow

Letter actually said they had 28 days which would have been 3rd March

 

Cheers
