    • There are so many factors, and local elections are often far more about local issues and people, but the one previously general rule in a general election are that the hard core Tories vote Tory and hard core Labour voters vote labour   Gaza seems to have dulled both the muslim and Jewish labour votes more than the Tories - and I can see why - but do the muslim voters really think that the Tories will do ANYTHING other than talk and then do whatever the Americans say - and thats support Israel whatever they do first and foremost in real terms? Reform has unquestionably affected the Tory local vote - so should affect the GE vote a bit more, but has largely been factored in - reform isnt new in any way - its all Brexitish although there seem to be far more ex 'conservative' core reform/ukip/brexitish voters than ex 'labour' core voters - about 6-8% of the national vote in a GE seems to me. A little up on prior brexitish/faragits scores But the large swathes of center ground voters who decide who wins the election seem to have utterly deserted the Tories in their millions - although they have gone to labour, libdems and greens - and many real conservatives are in limbo despite Sunak being naturally more a thatcherite than most - his party currently seems far less so. Johnson promised much, and many were taken in, just as people (inc me) made that mistake with Farage in the early days - but we now know that they are self serving liars who can't be trusted with anything - although I still think it likely The Liar will be back - but most likely after the GE (60/40) Starmer is lacking in charisma and presence, but others in his cabinet should shine. But Corbynistas could still cause trouble - another group that seem happy to drag everything down if they think it suites   Johnson perhaps could reunite some of the Tory party - but he seems to have numerous criminal and political convistions sitting in the background should he try Lying about giving preference to dogs in the Afghan evacuations - and lying about it Unlawfully proroguing parliament embezzlement re funds and spending (eg flat referb) .. repeatedly Taking jobs before he should after being booted - should lose his PM pension and rights over that IMO the list goes on ad nauseam
    • Hi I am negotiating with my ex (commercial) landlord's solicitor for a debt I owe for rent. This has been going on for a little while and I expect they may go ahead with the court action they threaten. I wanted to ask however, In the event this action goes ahead, I think will have a response pack sent to me from the court, along with the claim. Google tells me that a section of this response pack is a 'Admit the claim and ask for time to pay'. Would this time to pay, if accepted also mean a CCJ registered against me? Thanks

    • Had identical situation with chairs I bought from eBay. I was directed to Shiply by seller. Contracted Fauzer via  Shiply platform. Basically  Shiply  engages fraudsters to deliver your goods and makes a profit too. Still no chairs in sight. Who is responsible for this fraud? 
    • Thanks @AndyOrch No permission was given to leave the property. I accpeptliability. I was just hoping that I could limit the damage / court action by negotiating a lower settlement with the landlord.

    • 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.

Request for guidance please. 

House purchase aborted  after12 months, Conveyancing Solicitor sends bill for 85% of fixed fee under 1k, I complain about bill amount as Conveyancer did not get the information I requested from sellers Solicitor  which caused the buying process to drag on 8 months longer than it should had I got the information I wanted, in this period I paid higher short term rent, my claim against him to counter his claim.

Solicitor takes 4 months to respond to my complaint, where he not really address my complaint just re bills me, I further complain and 3 months later I get email response from principal solicitor while I am travelling around Thailand, dismissing me quite aggressively and giving me 7 days to pay in full or he starts enforcement.

I respond and ask does he mean court proceedings and is he declining alternative dispute resolution as I also asked for that previously , the response is I have already answered your complaint, which does not really answer my question.

I then send email and give my Thai address for service and state I am not in the UK, I do not own property in the UK just sofa surfing there so cannot give a safe address for service and worried solicitor may rack up costs by applying for permission to serve out of Jurisdiction or send claim where I no longer live regardless. But my worst concern as he quite aggressive is he gets an order with a penal notice while I am abroad, and goes for committal proceedings for prison.

Any guidance on how I should handle this much appreciated

not sure where you are getting half this info from.

penal notice...committal to prison??

in the UK debt is not a crime.

i think this solicitor is having you on about things he can and cannot do.

you are abroad he knows you are abroad, cant raise any court claims end of and to what point..:crazy::noidea:

you have no UK assets ....in simple terms there in NOTHING he can do!!

ignore him

Welcome to the forum.

He should still comply with Pre Action Protocol before litigation and a Letter of claim...you have informed him you are no longer residing in the UK. Worst scenario he serves a claim on your last known address....default judgment but unable to execute it.

 

Not sure where you got the following idea from...

Its a civil matter not criminal.

Hi thanks for your response, the penal notice concern is if he gets a ccj and requests an order for questioning in court under oath,  to find out where my money is and I do not turn up as I am abroad, it can be contempt of court, not sure how practical or if he would go so far for £850, or if he bluffing .

Perhaps I over think it.

You do over think it.

That would be multiple bridges that’d need to be crossed

1) They get a CCJ

2) they get an order for questioning in court (which would be difficult if he’s already applied for service out of jurisdiction: and do they have an address for service?)

3) Contempt of court would be for “deliberately not turning up”, not “out of the country and didn’t know was expected to turn up”.

 

In terms of your initial query : have you had a final response to your complaint? I suspect so if the solicitor is talking about issuing a claim.

Does it mention your right to go to the Legal Ombudsman (LO) ?

I’d complain to the LO. Let the solicitor know you are escalating this to the LO and suggest they await the outcome of that before issuing their claim against you.

(Then if they do issue before the LO has reached their decision you ask the court to stay the case pending the LO’s decision which is binding on the solicitor).
