    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. 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 only contracted 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. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • Please provide advice on the following situation: I rented out my property to four students for 16 months until March 2024. Initially, the property was in very good condition, but now it needs extensive renovation. This includes redoing the bathroom, replacing the kitchen, removing wallpaper, and redecorating due to significant mould growth. The tenants also left their furniture on the grass, which is owned by the local authority. As a landlord, I've met all legal requirements. It seems the damage was caused by poor ventilation—windows were always closed, and heating wasn't used. There was also a bathroom leak fixed by reapplying silicone. I tried to claim insurance, but it was denied, citing tenant behaviour as the cause by looking at the photos, which isn't covered. The deposit barely covers the repair costs, or else I'll have to pursue money claims, which I've never done before and am unsure about its legal complications or costs. Any thoughts on this?

    • 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.

Youre always entirely welcome Sparkie. The thing is, we all have the capability of doing this ourselves, all the way, step by step, but half the battle is actually having the self belief that you can do it............... and sparkie, Im sure you know by now, YOU CAN, YOU KNOW YOU CAN. Sometimes we all just need a little reassurance though,. Fendy xxx

Hi Sparky,

 

I quote:

 

 

Quote:

Section G - Other Information

Quote:

In the space below, set out any other information you consider will help the judge to manage or clarify the claim, including any other information you consider should be supplied by the other party.

Give details of any other information that you consider will help the judge to manage the claim, referring as necessary to any documents you might have attached. Bear in mind however that at this stage you need not attach all other documents which you wish the court to consider at the hearing. This is something you will later be asked to provide.

 

You should state here that you believe the case will last no longer than 1 hour.

 

You may wish to add reasons why the case is more suitable for Small Claims Track if your claim value exceeds £5,000 or provide reasoning why the other side should provide evidence of their costs!

 

We recommend that include a request for the Judge to order a form of 'basic' disclosure from the bank. Many courts have now started to issue these, so the request is likely to have been seen by your Judge before.

 

A small note explaining its intended use would help. Do not make this too lengthy, just explain that it has been attached for consideration and you believe it will bring a speedy end to Litigation. State that it was devised by the Mercantile Courts for a similar case.

 

A suggested template for Draft Directions, which we advise that you include with your AQ...

Draft Order for Directions

 

 

 

The Claimant shall within 14 days of service of this order send to the Defendant and to the Court:

  • a) A schedule setting out each charge repayment of which is sought, showing the date, amount, and reason given (if any) for that charge being made;

  • b) Copies of any statement or other document relied upon as showing that each and every charge has been made;

  • c) A statement of evidence of all matters relied upon as tending to show that the charges are irrecoverable as penalties or otherwise;

  • d) Copies of decided cases and other legal materials to be relied upon.

If the Claimant fails to comply with this order, the claim will be struck out without further order.

 

 

 

2. The Defendant shall within 14 days thereafter file and serve a response to the Claimant's schedule, stating in respect of each item claimed;

  • a) Pursuant to what contractual provision such charge was made, producing a copy of the contractual document relied upon;

  • b) Whether such charge is accepted to be a penalty, and if not why not;

  • c) If such charge is alleged to be a pre-estimate of the Defendant's loss incurred by the Claimant's actions (whether or not such action is treated as a breach of contract between the parties), all facts and matters intended to be relied upon as showing that such was a proper estimate of such loss, and all evidence to be adduced at trial as to what the true cost of dealing with the matter was;

  • d) If such charge is not alleged to be a pre-estimate of the Defendant's loss incurred by the Claimant's actions then facts and matters intended to be relied upon showing the basis upon which the charge was calculated and all evidence to be adduced at trial as to show that the charge was fair and reasonable.

  • e) Any witness statements.

  • f) Copies of decided cases and other legal materials to be relied upon.

If the Defendant fails to comply with this order, the Defence will be struck out without further order.

Sparky, I would simply put how long you expect hearing to take and simply attach another copy of your spreadsheet in support of your claim. I wouldnt get to fancy. If in doubt, KISS. Keep it Simple Stupid. And I dont mean you are stupid, simply the saying, thats all. If in doubt, leave it out. Simply copy of your spready should suffice for this bit. Fendy xxx

Thanks Fendy, have been very brief. Just said i attach draft order for consideration etc and i expect it to last no longer than one hour. Hope this is all that is needed at this stage Cheers XSparkie

Honestly, youre worrying too much. Thats sufficient. Its fine. If the judge believes anything else would be required, then he would ask for it, before striking it out if you got anything wrong. Honest. Fendy xxx

 

Just send in what youve done, and if for any reason its not enough the court would let you know first before striking it out. So dont worry. Fendy xxxxxx

 

You could add you will be submitting a copy of the terms and conditions of your account too in support of your claim to show the breaches. But that shouldnt be required until latter stages at court bundle. So you could leave it for now and submit that in with your court bundle when and if its required. All the best..............

Thank you, thank you! I guess i am still at the being intimidated stage :( . Off to deliver to court now. Have a great day, mind u with the amount youve done already it should be bedtime for you :D . Sparkie X

I dont think youre being intimidated sparky, I think youre just nervous, like a lot of us are about wondering if you have sent the right thing, and filled in the right info and form etc. Its normal to worry about it, But dont. Or try not to. If at any point along the way the judge was thinking you had done some part of your claim wrong, or had missed of vital information they wouldnt just strike out. They would give the opportunity to amend/fix whatever you had missed off or done wrong, in order to get it put right to keep the claim ongoing. They dont strike out without first giving you notice. So stay calm, and if for any reason anything has been missed the courts will let you know so you can submit it later. Dont worry. Honestly. It will all be fine................ good luck for Wednesday hun too. Will be thinking of you. You are brave, you are strong, remember that, deep down, you can do anything..................... YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE IT YOURSELF. Fendy xxxx

Hi guys and gals.

 

Phew wot a day! Just got home from work to find letter from cobblers with copy of their AQ. All well nd good but in the more info bit it says:

 

"Case management directions cannot be proposed until the Claimant serves a reply to the Request for Further Information which was due on 11th May 2007. In light of this, the Defendent may amend its Defence or apply to strike out"

 

I am shaking like a leaf now. I received the request on 27th April (well letter dated that) and i replied saying the standard reply ie not prepared to submit unless the court orders me to do so etc etc. This i sent recorded (signature printed) on 30th April !!

 

What has gone wrong and wot do i do now? OMG!!!! Panic is not the word! Thanks Sparkie X

Sparky calm down. Have you had anything from the court requesting further information as per Cobblers request ? If not, then nothing to panic about. If it was required then the courts would have asked for further information. You havent done anything wrong. Fendy xxx

Hi guys, long time no speak! How is everyone? I'm missing you all. I gather now from sources that banter is no longer allowed on here :( . So on w business :wink: . Got a full offer letter on Friday after work from cobbetts, picked up chq yesterday, so pleased to get my grubby little paws on that i can tell ya!! Couple of questions if anyone can help?

 

Was due to go to court tomorrow at 2pm, they have requested that i accept offer and write to court to cancel proceedings, do i have to go to the court to cancel or can i just ring up?

 

The chq has pay to me but says "into my account number", anyone know if there is anyway round this as i am not prepared to put it into the joint account?

 

Also, in the letter from cobbetts it says that i'm not allowed to tell anyone and that in accepting settlement i have to accept their charges from now on, i dont want to do this, otherwise they might not continute to provide me with my existing banking facilities. Can i do a letter saying not (is there a template) or can i just photocopy their letter and score out that bit and sign it?

 

Any advice gratefully received asap, as usual i have very limited time on this computer and also trying to do this without prying eyes :wink: .

 

Thanks so much Sparky XX

Sparkie!!! Long time no speak hun! Brilliant news about the offer - well done you for sticking at them.................... YOU'VE WON!!!! Ring the court first thing tomorrow morning - back it up with an email (c.c. cobblers) if poss, or failing that a letter confirming the case is now closed.

 

Don't worry about the cheque with the account number - they do this all the time the eejits. Just pay in into whichever account you want it in - it's your money, you decide where you want it. And let's face it, the last place you want it going is the joint account!!!

 

Have a look in the templates to see if there's a letter you can adapt saying you accept the offer unconditionally - i.e., thanks for me cheque, but get lost if you think I'm accepting whatever rubbish you throw at me in the future (but in a nice way - not an hedgey way!!!!)

 

I'm sooooooooooooooo pleased for you honey, you deserve every penny of this win - it's deffo a fresh start for you and the kids now. Make sure you all get a lovely treat out of that cash! Lots of love, hedgey xxxxxxxxxxxx

Acceptance based on your terms (post 73):

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bcard-woolwich-successes/48032-jakena-barclays-4.html?highlight=acceptance#post718754

 

Strickly speaking as you do not have cleared funds, then you should consider turning up tomorrow and request judgement or an adjournment. Although it is unlikely the cheque will not clear.

 

It is up to you really, but if you do not intend turning up tomorrow then a telephone call to the court is fine.
