    • I have received an email in the last 10 minutes 4) The Claimant's witness is currently out of the office on annual leave and this was not relayed to DWF Law until after the event which has caused a further unfortunate delay. 5) The Court has directed parties to file and serve any evidence upon which they intend to rely not later than 14- days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 6 June 2024. Regrettably, the Claimant will have insufficient time to finalise their witness evidence and supporting exhibits as directed. We therefore respectfully apply to extend the time for filing/serving evidence so that the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely by filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 13 June 2024  It also includes a "Notice of Hearing" stating that the application hearing will take place on 13th June at 10.00am.  Confused as to whether I need to attend this ?
    • I've received this notice to keeper. I work for the NHS and was delayed due to patient care. I park here regular and and have never had any issues. I've looked at the evidence on the portal and other than showing that i entered at 12.59.33 and departed at 17:14:14 it doesn't state how long i overstayed for. I paid for 4 hours parking over the phone which i wont have done till i got parked but as its over the phone i have no receipt or record but it is not possible for me to have been in excess of 15mins from the photos alone but I'm unsure having read other threads whether grace periods are 10 or 15 minutes. I havent appealed yet but and was about to but in appealing i'm showing i'm the driver which i gather is something you state we must never do. I don't like confrontation but £60 seems extortionate. Hope you can help. 🤞 1 Date of the infringement 30th May 2024 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 30th May 2024 [scan up BOTH SIDES as ONE PDF- follow the upload guide] please LEAVE IN LOCATION AND ALL DATES/TIMES/£'s 3 Date received 5th June 2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?

    • It never seems to amaze me how the chuckleheads think that No Stopping can ever offer a contract when it is prohibitory. In any case you did not accept the contract by entering the land, you entered the land to get to the airport for goodness sake. In most car parks there is a Consideration period that allows motorists to decide whether they want to stay in the car park . Here on a road, there is no consideration period and whether the motorist finds the terms agreeable or not even assuming that they are able to understand that they are being hoodwinked into believing they are being offered a  contract they cannot turn back. They have a plane to catch and even if they did turn back because they didn't accept the  No Stopping term of   the so called contract they would still have had to stop to turn around. Plus there is a question of Frustration of Contract. You had to stop at a pedestrian crossing .    
    • Just a couple paragraphs their WS that it might be useful to refer to specifically in the OP's WS... Para 6 A contract was formed with "the driver" of the vehicle. Para 8 "The driver" accepted the contract. (The "driver" is not named, or identified anywhere in the WS). Para 7 WHY would there ever be a "no stopping" restriction in a car park? (In Para 10, they specify that it is a "car park"). Para 11 "The Defendant" became liable." Again, they have not shown that the Defendant was "the driver", simply the keeper. Para 20 "It is a matter of agreement"? Not really sure what they're trying to say here...
    • Thank you for relying so quickly! That is what I had concluded was the reality of the situation.. I'm still waiting for the call within my time slot.. I will try to fill this thread with more info, find original letters and show the docs of the pack I was sent, a pack with no real covering letter to show what it was in response to or from whom..

    • 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.

Do people have favourite recipes for when summer salad ingredients aren't available?

 

One of mine is what I was introduced to as Winter Salad years ago, a no-cook one. Adjust the quantity of ingredients to suit the number of people.

 

Thinly sliced white or red cabbage or any cabbage that's available

Grated carrot

Raisins or sultanas

Diced dessert apple

 

If liked and if available

Dates, chopped

Small pieces of clementine segments

 

Serve with your favourite dressing.

 

Please add your recipes if you have favourites.

I don't have any great recipes, do just want to record my utter amazement at supermarkets putting restrictions in place.  If they need to limit the amount taken it means people have been buying large amounts of highly perishable goods.  Why?  You can hoard toilet rolls, I get that but salad veg doesn't keep.  What is wrong with people?

I call this the coffee plebiscite special. Feeds a family of 4.

 

Take one turnip, chop it, boil it. Eat it.

If you cant afford heating, Take one Turnip, chop it and eat it raw

The rationing is due to low availability in the UK, not because someones bought all the UK stock and bought 3 fridges and a chilled container  or 10 to keep them in.

 

Think of your peppers and tomatoes as limited editions of a Ferrari

- the people who can afford it and want it will have it shipped in specially from abroad (presumably if they have the right customs declarations)

- abroad there is loads of fruit and veg ... if not special edition Ferrari's ... .

 

You can replace Ferrari's with limited edition perfume if that suites your metaphor better.

So why put restrictions in place if nobody is buying more than a reasonable amount.  It isn't as though you're restricted to one lettuce - it's two or three depending on the supermarket which means they must have experienced people buying more than that.

Whats 'a reasonable amount'

 

Example

10,000 peppers v 20,000 shoppers for peppers

- rationing prevents the first 10 just grabbing all thats available and perhaps trying to sell them on fruit and veg ebay or their own market stall at 3x the price - as happened with toilet rolls

- even then theres still not enough - but it is unquestionably 'fairer to the supermarkets customers

its perhaps worth considering that the Brexit hard right 'argument' of the UK not needing farming - depended on cheap and simple imports of food and labour from the EU

 

and they then proceeded to shaft both sides of the argument

and experiments have shown that UK consumers are extremely cant or are extremely reluctant to pay more for farmer friendly milk

- not that the 'experiments' were applied well.

 

eg

Farmers milk Implemented as Pay more over the 'normal' price than the farmers got - so supermarkets profited from it

- rather than the customer pays a bit more and the supermarket pays some more on top out of the profits
