      Summons to court for a S87 (1) offence

      By BazzaS · Posted

      (See the link to DVLA’s INF188/6 document I posted above, page 4 as cited) “I have a new medical condition that I have told the DVLA about on my recent application. Can I drive? As soon as the DVLA receives your correct and complete application for a new licence and as long as you meet all the Section 88 criteria, you may drive. It is important that you are satisfied that the medical condition you have declared on your application does not stop you from driving. If you are unsure, check with your doctor or healthcare professional before you make a decision. You can also look up your condition in the ‘Assessing fitness to drive’ guide, which you can find at www.gov.uk/dvla/fitnesstodrive to see whether you meet the medical standards for driving. As this guide is intended for healthcare professionals, it can be complicated. Your doctor or healthcare professional should be able to help you if necessary." It seems that DVLA think that S.88 does apply for applications disclosing a new medical condition after all. Why might this be so, and what of “qualifying application" and "relevant disability"? S. 92(1) imposes on the driver a requirement to disclose a relevant disability. S.92(3) requires the Secretary of State to refuse such an application disclosing a relevant disability ….. EXCEPT S.92(4) requires the Secretary of State to grant such an application if the relevant disability is “adequately controlled”. Hence my belief S.88 can apply for medical conditions (if the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive) as the application remains a qualifying application IF the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive, until DVLA (on behalf of the Secretary of State) say it doesn’t, provided the driver believes they meet the (medical) standard. Additionally, at (or before) June 2013 (as noted in my previous post) the medical standard for fitness to drive for conditions involving excessive daytime sleepiness was changed from “completely controlled” to "adequately controlled".

      Group Nexus ANPR PCN Claimform - Cannon Lane Retail Park, Tonbridge, TN9

      By FTMDave · Posted

      I see that at the start of your thread you said they hadn't sent a Letter of Claim.  And in fact in all the uploaded material there is no LoC.  This is great news.  Even were you to lose - you won't - the judge would chop off a chunk of the money for their non-respect of PAPLOC. However, I'm a bit confused as you've named the file name as a SAR.  Are you sure about this?  Did you send any other letters apart from the one dx advised which was a CPR request (not a SAR) to DCBL (not Group Nexus).  I'm not being pernickety, this will be important for your Witness Statement further down the line.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

I want to make sure I do this right so not to spoil my chances of claiming back £1691 of bank charges.

 

I have all my statements for last 6 years & sent the DPA off on 24th April. I received letter today offering £112 on one acocount & £109 on the other as full & final settlement. Taking it a step further is a bit daunting, but I'm not going to accept this & am just about to fill in the LBA template to send next.

 

Do I complete the excel spreadsheet which calculates interest & send this with the LBA?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice! :confused:

It is not essential that you use the registered address these days (it used to be!) if you are issuning proceedings

 

As long as you use a bona fide business/trading address that should be fine. I would add in brackets (place of business) after the address if you are not using the registered office address. :)

I'd just put Halifax plc.

 

If it's going to the branch then you might want to mark it for the branch manager's attention.

 

Apologies if this contradicts the FAQ's.

I've been corresponding with 2 different people at the branch. I am going to the sheriff court tomorrow to file my claim but wasn't sure wether to put 'Branch Manager, RBS address etc...' or to put her specific name and address of branch in the box on form 1 for the summons.

I really don't know the procedure in Scotland hon. In England and Wales I would issue proceedings identifying Halifax plc as the Defendant. I might mark it "For The Attention Of..." branch manager or Customer Relations or whatever.

 

It might be the case in Scotland that you do need to identify an individual (to receive the summons on behalf of the company) even when suing a public limited company. :confused:

 

A phone call to the sheriff's court issues section will probably clarify the rules in Scotland. They can't give specific legal advice but they can explain procedure.

I filed my moneyclaim on line yesterday but think I've missed a bit off! Can anyone offer advice please.

 

I pasted below into Particulars of claim

I have a contract with the defendant bank which is conducted on their standard terms and conditions. I am claiming the return of money taken by the defendant in the way of charges over the last 6 years plus the interest they have levied on those charges. The bank's charges are a disproportionate penalty and therefore unenforceable as they are contrary to common law. Further, as a disproportionate penalty they are invalid under the Unfair (Contracts) Terms Act 1977 s.4 and under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999. Para.8 and sch.2(1)(e). In the event that the charges are not a penalty then they are unreasonable within the meaning of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 s.15.

I have asked the bank to justify their charges but they have declined to do so.

 

After I completed it, paid my money a relised a pop up box had come up, details below. I have not included this message in my clain, although the £2177 claim inc court fee & 8% interest. Will it matter? do I need to do anything?

 

Since you have indicated that you to claim interest on the money the defendant owes you, you must include the following text in the particulars of your claim:

 

The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the county court act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from (date when the money became owed to you) to (the date you are issuing the claim) of £ (put the amount) and also interst at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of (enter the daily rate of interest)

I called Halifax on 16th as the 14 days since I issued the LBA,where up.

 

I explained I wanted to check which was the best address to use as was completing my moneyclaim form on-line. The girl I spoke to asked that I give them chance to take a look at my claim & call me back within an hour. They did & she up'd the original offer of £221 to £640. I asked for this in writing but said I would carry on with my claim £1691 - (plus interest £366 & court costs £120)

 

I filed my claim lunchtime yesterday & it has been issued....o 'eck...what shall I wear to court!

24/4 Preliminary letter sent-recorded --£1691 claim

28/4 Verbal Offer of £221 rec'd

29/4 Written offer rec'd of £221

2/5 LBA sent declining offer - recorded

16/5 Verbal offer of £640 rec'd

17/5 Completed moneyclaim online

18/5 Status - Claim issued

O blimmey,:mad: not the reply I wanted but still appreciated! :) Thank you! :D

As the interest is £360 :o then it's worth it.

 

As the interest is earned at different dates over 6 years, would I be best to alter the interest paragrah to say the

 

"Amount of interest incurred at various dates, please refer to appendix 1"

 

l'll then have to find out if I can attach on line or email/fax/post to court.

 

Do you think this is acceptable? :?

Might be easier just to write to the bank and say that you neglected to include the wording for a claim for interest on your claim form and that it was your intention to do so. Ask them if they will consent to you submitting an amended particulars of claim or agree that the claim served will be deemed to include the relevant wording. If they do you do not need to apply to the court for permission.

 

If they refuse just send a copy of your letter asking for their consent and their reply refusing to the court manager and ask for them to be filed on the court file. Then if it goes to a hearing the judge will see that you made a simple error and the bank refused to overlook it. I'm sure you will be allowed to claim interest if it ever gets before a district judge (particularly because, if I read your post right, the actual sum claimed includes interest) and you will not have had to spend £35 :)

 

Leeeway is given to litigants in person District judges are almost without exception polite and nice common sense people who are interested in the main issues and not peripheral little errors- so why not take the inch you are given?

[i filed my moneyclaim on line 18/5 & it was acknowledged yesterday but I missed details of interest as below - I have called the Halifax & asked if they will accept an amendment but they wont, so have to pay £35 to amend via moneyclaim online. Today is payday so I can now go ahead but am unsure of the wording as I have completed the excel spreadsheet provided to work out 8% interest which is on 2 accounts over various dates may 2000 todate.

 

Please can someone advise & also does anyone know how this will affect my claim. I have included the value of interest (£366) in the claim just not the description

I would advise that you contact the County Court as you cannot amend the claim on line - you will need to send a form to the court.

 

It is usually £35 to amend a claim - however, it may be that since this is only a matter of adding some words it may be possible to just send it as additional information. You do need to speak to the court on this.
