    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all. Signed I am the Defendant - I believe that the facts stated in this form are true XXXXXXXXXXX 01/05/2024   Defendant's date of birth XXXXXXXXXX   Address to which notices about this claim can be sent to you

    • 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.

Appealing was a mistake. You've likely outed yourself as the driver to CEL and they'll naturally reject even the strongest of appeals. Then again, who hasn't made some mistakes when dealing with legal matters for the first time. CEL have already messed up on their claimform by claiming for legal representatives fees when they have no legal representative.

Do you have a copy of the PCN that you can scan both sides and get it uploaded to us?

I'd also double check any correspondence you've had from CEL to see if the last one before this (from about a month ago) was a letter of claim.

Tagging @FTMDave who is an expert in these matters :)

We could do with some help from you.

OK, a few things.

1.  Are you sure they didn't send you a Letter of Claim a month or so before the claimform?

2.  We need to see your appeal to find out if you outed yourself as the driver.

3.  We need to see the original invoice to see if CEL abided by the legal time frames for sending their invoices out.

4.  Why did you park for nearly nine hours in the car park?

Please deal with these points.

If you've thrown paperwork away then tell us, and a SAR can be arranged.

OK, a few things.

1.  Are you sure they didn't send you a Letter of Claim a month or so before the claimform? I just threw all correspondence from them away.

2.  We need to see your appeal to find out if you outed yourself as the driver. Again I don't have a copy of an appeal, I have checked all sent emails but cannot find one

3.  We need to see the original invoice to see if CEL abided by the legal time frames for sending their invoices out.

4.  Why did you park for nearly nine hours in the car par?

I was picking up my cousin and her family as she was working as a cook there a the time.

We were heading on holiday to Scotland the following day.

I had been in the same car park many times before.

I entered the pub through the back door went to the bar, ordered a drink and a meal.

At no point did any bar staff alert me that I needed to add my registration number or did I see any signs advising me to do so.

I then took a seat outside in a small seated area so I could chat to my cousin during to wait for her to finish work.

We were joined by the management of the Pub and barstaff during my time waiting 

If you've thrown paperwork away then tell us, and a SAR can be arranged. I have

I also must have outed myself as the driver as I sent copies of receipts showing I was a customer in the bar

There is no-one on this site who hasn't made mistakes when in a legal dispute.  I've made loads.  It's inevitable if you've not been in the situation before.

However, it's important to learn the lesson and get it right next time.

It was not a good idea to ignore a Letter of Claim.  In the minds of the parking companies, if someone ignores a Letter of Claim they might ignore a claim form too and gift them an easy default victory. 

Throwing away the paperwork was a bad idea.  You've now got to defend a case without really knowing what you're being accused of.  You can be damn sure that CEL will put as many obstacles in your way as possible while you play catch up.

What would have been a good idea would have been to get on to the pub and ask them to intervene.  We have had lots of cases where the organ grinder got tickets cancelled.

Anyway, spilt milk and all that.

1.  Wait and see if CEL reply to the CPR. If not, around the time you file your defence, you can SAR them.

2.  Given your good relations with the pub, even at this late stage get on to them and ask for their help.  It can't harm you.

3.  Is the pub local to you?  You mention the rubbish signage.  It would be a good idea to go and take photos of the signage (or lack of).

We could do with some help from you.

The pub has rave reviews on Google Maps about the helpfulness of the landlord and the staff.  Turns out Pete is the landlord.  It has to be worth a try contacting the pub.  It's a huge pity that wasn't done in July 2022,
