    • The Contract itself The airport is actually owned by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan. There should be an authority from them for Bristol airport group  to sign on their behalf. Without it the contract is invalid. The contract has so many  clauses redacted that it is questionable as to its fairness with regard to the Defendants ability to receive a fair trial. In the case of WH Holding Ltd, West Ham United Football Club Ltd -v- E20 Stadium LLP [2018],  In reaching its decision, the Court gave a clear warning to parties involved in litigation: ‘given the difficulties and suspicions to which extensive redaction inevitably gives rise, parties who decide to adopt such an appropriate in disclosure must take enhanced care to ensure that such redactions are accurately made, and must be prepared to suffer costs consequences if they are not’. The contract is also invalid as the signatories are required to have their signatures co-signed by independent witnesses. There is obviously a question of the date of the signatures not being signed until 16 days after the start of the contract. There is a question too about the photographs. They are supposed to be contemporaneous not taken several months before when the signage may have been different or have moved or damaged since then. The Defendant respectfully asks the Court therefore to treat the contract as invalid or void. With no contract there can be no breach. Indeed even were the contract regarded as valid there would be no breach It is hard to understand why this case was brought to Court as there appears to be no reasonable cause to apply to the DVLA.............

    • 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 All,

 

So glad I found this site! I'm just starting out on my claim (sent prelim letter for £4917 yesterday) and quite prepared to wait it out as long as it takes. Being the kind of person who has absolutely no luck whatsoever I am also fully expecting to become the sacrificial goat they decide to fight back against :o but hey for over 4K of MY money back it will be worth whatever it takes!

 

Just one small query, if anyone could help? I unknowingly calculated part of my total claim amount to include the advantage gold fee along with the unarranged borrowing charge (between 30 and 40 quid, depending on the fee amount at the time) and now, having just read that the Advant Gold monthly fee should have been deducted, I'm not sure what to do? Should I just leave the amount as it stands, and presume they'll spot this and deduct the fees anyway or submit a new claim minus the AG fees? :?

 

Thanks, and I'll keep you all updated as I go.

 

Oh and good luck to everyone else out there fighting the good fight! :D :D

Hi Arien,

I sent my Prelim letter two weeks ago and also have had no reply, so my LBA went in the post today. Missgiggles is also in the same boat with the same timeframes.

Looks like we might be waiting together. I wouldn't worry too much.

Hope to see cheques flooding in sometime in the next 14 days.

Cheers

Yes silly me - the account has been closed in my case. (I coud give them an alternate account number into which they can deposit my refund, but haven't to date).

Also, checked and Missgiggles got her offer through on Saturday, so good for her! (though I think she might be rejecting it to get the full amount)

Thanks Nattie and Hepburn. And yes Nattie I'm sending my LBA to Borehamwood, by registered post today.

 

Nattie, sorry, what do you mean by no cheques forthcoming prior to court? I thought some people received refunds before getting to court? Or do you just mean payment by cheque?? (Sorry, it's early and I'm half asleep :) )

 

Hepburn hopefully we'll get some kind of response shortly. Seems strange how everyone has different reactions from Natwest, doesn't appear to have any particular system to it?

Guest NATTIE

People do get refunds, direct to their account if it is open prior to court or cheques if it is settled prior to court and the account is closed. Once it goes to suing the bank then it is a cheque for settlement on all occasions

Just received full refund offer (after LBA) for over £4K! :D

 

Interesting though - I had heard nothing from them after Prelim, and still nothing on day 14 after LBA, but thought I'd ring Customer Services that morning before proceeding with MCOL in the afternoon, just to see if they had anything to say. When I rang I was told that my offer letter was amongst a batch that would be sent out within 21 days, but that they had no way of knowing exactly when it would arrive as the letters were being staggered.

 

So if I hadn't rung I'd have wasted my time completing MCOL and been £100 out of pocket too. Perhaps it might be a good idea for those of you waiting for replies to try the same thing? Worth a try at least...

 

Anyway, good luck to you all and hope you have same result! :) :)

Hi Arien, congratulations on your win!!! Nice bit of news in time for the bank holiday!! Keep on top of them though, as some people are waiting ages for the money to appear in their accounts. Enjoy the cash, hedgey xx :grin:

Thanks everyone! :D :D and great news Hepburn!

 

Delighted it wasn't dragged out too long but still waiting for the offer later, which should have been here by Saturday :( . Will ring them again later this morning to see what's going on. Presuming bank holiday post is the problem but will ring everyday until I see the money in my account.

 

Hope you all had a lovely long weekend!:) :)

Arien,

Congratulations,another fine win.

Why don't you write to them asking for your £100 MCOL fee back. Yor are entitled to claim this back of them.

A person is only as big as the dream they dare to live.

 

 

Good things come to he who waits

 

 

Its your money taken unlawfully from your account and you have a legal right to claim it back.
