    • I googled "prescribed disability" to see where it is defined for the purposes of S.92. I found HMRC's definition, which included deafness. I don't  think anyone is saying deaf people cant drive, though! digging deeper,  Is it that “prescribed disability” (for the purposes of S.88 and S.92) is defined at: The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999 WWW.LEGISLATION.GOV.UK These Regulations consolidate with amendments the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1996...   ….. and sleep apnoea / increased daytime sleepiness is NOT included there directly as a condition but only becomes prescribed under “liability to sudden attacks of disabling giddiness or fainting” (but falling asleep isn't fainting!), so it isn’t defined there as a “prescribed disability”  Yet, under S.92(2)(b) RTA 1988 “ any other disability likely to cause the driving of a vehicle by him in pursuance of a licence to be a source of danger to the public" So (IMHO) sleep apnea / daytime sleepiness MIGHT be a prescribed disability, but only if it causes likelihood of "driving being a source of danger to the public" : which is where meeting / not meeting the medical standard of fitness to drive comes into play?  
    • You can counter a Judges's question on why you didn't respond by pointing out that any company that charges you with stopping at a zebra crossing is likely to be of a criminal mentality and so unlikely to cancel the PCN plus you didn't want to give away any knowledge you had at that time that could allow them to counteract your claim if it went to Court. There are many ways in which you can see off their stupid claim-you will see them in other threads  where our members have been caught by Met at other airports as well as Bristol.  Time and again they take motorists to Court for "NO Stopping" apparently completely forgetting that the have lost doing that because no stopping is prohibitory and cannot form a contract. Yet they keep on issuing PCNs because so many people just pay up . Crazy . You can see what chuckleheads they are when you read their Claim form which is pursuing you as the driver or the keeper. they don't seem to understand that on airport land because of the Bye laws, the keeper is never liable.

    • 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.

Thanks birchave and pompeydaz!

 

I would DEFINITELY recommend a phone call. I phoned just before my Prelim(!) was about to expire and I got an offer letter the day after it expired. I phoned the very next day and hey presto, all sorted!

 

Good luck to everyone on here, not that you need it! Just remember that you WILL win, so if they're offering crap, just reject it and tell them you'll see them in court. I was polite at all times as well, don't know if that helped at all!

 

Right, onto the credit cards! Tee hee!

Hey, tell you what, its nice being here and being congratulated! I'm a member of a car forum and there's a massive debate going on there about how we're all scroungers who complain all the time and are rubbish at managing money! Its about 50/50, but the way some people talk down to you about being in debt is awful.

 

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!

Cheers guys!!

 

Hidden, the number was 0121 234 1068 (that number is etched on my brain now!!). Name was Kim Hollyoak (always loved Hollyoaks!! Ha ha!). I'll tell you what as well...I only got as far as Prelim! I was impatient so phoned up, got an offer two days later, settled day after that!

 

Magic!!! Give her a bell. All you have to do is say that you know you will get it back tell her you're about to go to court, remind her that you'll stand to get another 8% PLUS costs. I'm sure she'll sort you! Say Mr Hart sent you! :D :D :D

Any joy yet, Hidden?

 

I've got a question to put out to everyone...the lady I spoke to (Kim Hollyoak) said that I'd receive the offer amount (£1300) and then a subsequent payment for the remainder after. I've received the £1300 already and the rest is expected in by 22nd March.

 

Does anyone else think I shouldn't just be waiting on her word? I mean, the letter said to do nothing if I was happy with that amount. What if they say that I never called them and I never receive the balance?

 

I'm a little concerned now...

Did you receive offer they made (think you struck a deal at 2,500) in writing, this is what usually happens and with letter they enclose an acceptance form which you sign and send back, they do not pay out money until they receive this form back. Am a little unsure as to why they have split this amount - have you more information on this?

well she just settled to pay me minus £30 of what i was asking for , i am happy with that cause saves me more hastle of claiming to court , she said that i have nothing to sign ? which i have read in certain threads that they have had to sign an acceptance form , she just said that the money would be in my account in the next 14 days if not before because they are pretty quick at the moment , we will see , am not to worried over what you said above cause nowadays most phone calls like this are recorded

It was split because the original offer was £1350 which I refused. She said that the first amount had already been ok'd and was on its way into my account. It actually went in Friday. She said I would receive a second deposit for the balance, which they have until 22nd March to pay.

 

Hidden, I reckon you're right, but imagine if they did turn round and said "in the letter it clearly states that if the customer agrees he should do nothing and we assume the £1350 has been accepted as full and final settlement. We never heard from MR2Phil so consider this matter closed" etc...

 

Eek!

You could always give her a ring and just mention you wondered why you had not received an acceptance form. When you made the agreement with her did she give the 22 March as date for second deposit.
