    • OK thank you very much. I will prepare my WS as you advise.  I will indeed be preparing the WS over the weekend. I will also post UKPC's on Wednesday by 2nd class mail. As they have until the 17th to pay the court fee, is it possible they might discontinue at that stage too? Also I wanted to ask, in what form should the site manager's statement come? And the site owner if i can contact them? I will get photos of the signage to share with you also. Thank you.
    • Theres speculation on whether the magazine was Womens Weekly or Boys own 😀   ... probably a classic first edition of boys own - based on it costing $130k :lol  
    • You have five days yet to respect the WS deadline which is next Wednesday.  As others have said,  you can e-mail the court their copy.  That gives you the whole weekend to get the WS prepared.  Personally I'd post UKPC's theirs by 2nd class post (all they are worth) on Wednesday too, the court won't look badly on a short delay from a Litigant-in-Person. Another point.  In your WS you say their signs are rubbish.  That's a great point if their signs really are rubbish.  It's a dreadful point if their signs are fine.  So have you got photos of their signs?
    • You need to start drafting your WS.  I would suggest as sections - Sequence of Events - a brief description of how you came to get the invoice. Permission from Landowner - self-explanatory.  You will have to include this as it is in your defence.  However, be aware that your argument is very weak and indeed harms your case.  A person with no connection to the car park said you could park there - that is no different from saying that someone you met in the local pub said you could park there.  Anyway, get the site manager's WS.  Obviously this weak point could morph into a winner if you could get a WS from the landowner. Prohibition - you have this virtually word for word in the other WS. No locus standi - UKPC are not the landlord, they only administer the car park, they have no right to sue you (however the fact you never asked by CPR to see their contract with the landowner makes this a very weak point too). Double Recovery - again in the other WS.
    • And don't be worrying too much about being a day or two late with your WS. As a litigant in person, you'll be given a little leeway. Take time to post up your WS here  for the team to take a look. It'll give time to get your site manager's statement as an exhibit. Also, I understand you haven't got their WS yet? It could give you time to see theirs first if they send it. Do they have your email address? If so they could play dirty and send it the night before the hearing!

    • 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.

My Father died in January 2023 and I have been busy dealing with his funeral and trying to find all the information the lawyers require to get probate.

He owned a car which has been parked in his private driveway since his death. It has not been on a public road. I checked and the the car s till Mot'd, but the car tax expired on 30 June. I do not know about the insurance.

I appreciate that I was naïve in the workings of the dvla and thought that so long as I did not drive his car on the public road I was not breaking any law and could transfer the registration once I had dealt with all of the other stuff. 

I sent the V5C and a letter to the sensitive case team at DVLA last week in order to transfer the registered keeper to my name. I will tax and insure the vehicle.

I visited my Fathers property on 15 July as I check regularly for any mail. There was a letter from DVLA fining him for no insurance. Apparently there was no insurance on the car on 30/6/23.

Obviously as my Father is dead he could not do anything about it.

The letter says a fine of £100 is payable by 11 August but reduced to £50 if paid by 4 August. 

Letter also says it should be insured immediately, a SORN applied to the car or tax it.

Should I send a letter disputing this fine or simply pay the £50 before 4 August????

I would be very grateful for any advice as this is getting me down.

Dead people can't pay fines, send a copy of the death certificate (photocopy should do, not an official one that costs money), tell them your Dad will happily see them in court if they bring a Medium.
