    • Interesting question regarding what Government accounts opposition parties have access to, before an General Election. From what I understand, Government department accounts that are published are always lagging behind and would not include some amounts which are classified as 'commercially sensitive'.  Therefore opposition parties and Parliamentrary select committees would not have access to accounts which contain real time up to date information. If a new Government have found £20 billion of spending liabilities they did not know about, this could be true, as £20 billion is not that much when you look at total Government expenditure. Government department are making decisions on spending all of the time and it could be the previous Government were planning tax changes and/or spending cuts to balance the books.  Jeremy Hunt has recently said that if the Tories had stayed in Government and held an Autumn budget, it would have been very difficult to cut taxes as some had wanted.

    • ok your WS is wrong. Paragraph 16 and 17 says  you did not contract with evri but this is not true - see below  Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (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 post 251 of occy thread - £844 lost    you should also add a paragraph on donough v Stevenson talking about the fact that even without contract there is still duty of care to goods and by failing to deliver this duty has been breached.   Make those changes and post it back up here and I'll check over things again

    • 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.

Hi

I'm not sure how to use this site but here goes,

I'm trying to find some information on tickets being issued in macdonalds,

I received one for the alleged offense of staying 10 minutes too long.

what happened is I arranged to meet a colleague there to discuss business back in May( I am field based so use these sites to meet up with colleagues) I also drive a company car, I waited 10 minutes for my colleague to arrive, we then went to get a coffee from an adjacent restaurant with is part of the same site,

I still have the till receipt with time stamp on it, y

esterday I received the notice from the leasing company informing me of this alleged offense.

The notice had my name on so I assume that Met Parking Services have been in touch with the DVLA, the address was the leasing company to whom the car belongs to.

I have been in touch with Macdonalds head office who didn't appear to know very, I have also written to the DVLA to find out if it was them they gave them my name.

My company do not pay parking tickets of any description, they are sent to the leasing company

they locate the driver and the details are then sent to the driver,

the leasing company do not pass personal details of drivers to any company private or otherwise,

now it is £100 for 10 minutes

£10 per minute,

surely this is extortion.

Please can anyone advise me as to what to do now.

Thanks

Do not respond to them in any way whatsoever it is almost certain that they will not take it any further. They will try it on and try and frighten you into paying though, once they have the address from the DVLA You will get two letters from PPC, two from DCA(next desk) then two from supposed solicitor (next but one desk).

 

 

You haven’t committed any traffic offence. Any dispute with a private parking firm is contractual only.

 

 

They can’t ‘fine’ you in legal terms. They can only go to court, under contract law, to reclaim any money they have LOST as a result of you parking on their land (they don't own the land) – and they can only do that if there is a valid contract( fat chance) in place first.

Thanks for the replys

So to get this clear I am to do nothing about the notice except ignore it?

I have seen some of the templates letters on here and wondered if I should send one of those.

There seems to be conflicting answers on here so I am a bit confused.

 

Thanks

It used to be advised that you could send template letters, but it became apparent that no type of "appeal" or any letter you send had any effect.

 

Totally ignore them now is generally the best advice.

Thanks everyone I will get back onto the leasing company and advise accordingly.

 

I also noticed that the DVLA are only suppose to supply details of the registered keeper, what I don't understand is how or why have met parking services obtained my name, if the DVLA are at fault where do I go to take the matter further.

I am waiting for a reply from the letter I wrote to the DVLA asking them if it was them that gave my name out, not sure how quickly they will reply if at all.

 

Thanks

woodys157, are you possession of your V5 or does the leasing company retain it.

 

Some leasing companies retain them and issue a letter of authorisation for the car. In such cases, it is likely the car is registered in your name, but the address is the lease companies. The reason lease companies like to retain the V5 is the simple fact that the owner is not stated on the document and it would be simple for you to sell the car on, before anybody realised.

 

The DVLA will have given out your details under a V888x3 request for reasonable cause, but should supply you with a copy of that request. I don't recall if they charge you for this or not, but it would be £2.50 if they did.
