    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • 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.

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.

    • 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 again.

Just one thing puzzling me. Should I have received either an Allocation Questionaire or at least notice that the AQ is being dispensed with the copy of the Defence I've received?

Cheers

Glensorie.

You should hear from the court in a couple of days Glensorie - I think mine came through about 4-5 days after I'd received the defence from cobbetts. Let us know what directions the court are giving when you hear from them (e.g., AQ or AQ dispensed with). :)

Here you go mate - have a look at these links just in case:

Is your court dispensing with the Allocation Questionnaire?

 

Post back though when you find out what the court wants! :)

Hi all again.

No news yet but just a quick question. I've just re-read the defence sent to me by Nat West and am a bit unsure whether or not I should be concerned about point 4 or whether I have to reply to it or not.

 

( 4 In relation to the allegation that the contractual provisions pursuant to which the charges have been applied are unenforceable by virtue of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 ("the Regulations") and/or the common law, THE CLAIMANT IS REQUIRED TO IDENTIFY:

 

4.1 (a) the regulations of The Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 ("the Regulations"); and (b) the principles of common law relied upon by the Claimant in alleging that the contractual provision(s) referred to are unenforceable; and

 

4.2 the contractual provision(s) that the Claimant alleges are invalid by reference to the Regulations.

Until such time as these regulations/provisions are identified the Defendant cannot plead to the allegation referred to in paragraph 4 above. The Defendant therefore reserves its right to plead further to the allegation once (and if) the Claimant identifies the relevant contractual information. )

 

Guess I've got too much time on my hands to think about anything else.

 

Cheers

Glensorie.

Hi all.

Well! I've got an interesting letter from the court which sounds promising:-

 

DISTRICT JUDGE GAUNT has considered the statements of case and allocation questionnaires filed and allocated the claim to the small claims track.

Before the claim is listed for hearing, the judge has ordered that a preliminary hearing should take place :

to consider whether the claim can be disposed of because the defendant has no real prospect of success at a final hearing.

The preliminary hearing will take place at 10:00 on the 21 September 2007 at Tameside County Court, Henry Square, Po Box 166, Ashton Under Lyne, Lancashire, OL6 7TP.

Allocation Questionnaires be dispensed with.

 

 

I know I'll have to give the court a ring to see if I'll still have to pay the £100 Allocation fee.

Do I now press on with the advice in http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general/80091-your-court-dispensing-allocation.html and keep the pressure on Nat West or what do you suggest?

Cheers

Glensorie.

Wow! Sensible judge methinks!

 

Have a read through this thread here GOT A COURT DATE? A guide to the later stages as this will help you to prepare everything that you'll need for the hearing.

 

I'm not sure whether it's worth pushing ahead with the draft order for directions at the moment - sounds like the judge has got his/her head well and truly screwed on anyway! And the above thread advises you take a copy of the draft directions with you anyway. I'll check this out further though.

 

Wouldn't mind an order like the one you've got for myself!!!! ;)

Hi all again especially Hedgey (Congratulations again by the way).

Just re-read your enormous thread and noticed you sent the court the Draft order for Directions. See:- http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/show-post/post-1033263.html

 

Do you think it's worth giving it a go or should I just hang fire and see what happens in the next few weeks? Seems a long way off before my preliminary hearing just sitting around doing nothing. If there is anything I could do to speed up the process or swing the Judge's decision then I would jump at the chance.

 

Cheers

Glensorie.

I'm not too sure - the Judge seems quite sensible to be honest anyway, looks like (reading between the lines) that he/she may be considering striking out their defence anyway.

 

However, on the other hand, if you requested that their defence be struck out as an abuse of process and attached the Draft Order for Directions, you could also be giving the Judge a bit more ammunition.

 

I'll stick my neck out and say (contrary to what I said at post 34!) that it actually could be worth sending the above.

Hi all.

Have been doing quite a lot of thinking recently about what to do re. Draft Order For Directions. I think I have decided to leave it for the time being and take it with me to the Preliminary hearing as per the 'Prelim/Directions Hearing' section in http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/guidance-notes/64911-got-court-date-guide.html I could do with a definitive answer as to whether I have made the correct choice, in other words I need someone to tell me what to do.

I'm sorry Hedgey you seemed a bit uncertain on whether I should send it beforehand or not considering the wording of the 'Allocation to Small Claims Track' letter I received, see post #33.

Too much time on my hands to think thats my problem.

Thanks in advance

Glensorie.

Hi Glensorie,

Nice to see another Duki resident batting for the little guy! I'm up on Yew Tree lane. I have also rec'd a hearing date for 21st Sept. I didn't respond to the order and got the hearing response anyway. I see that your hearing is at 10.00... mine is at 2pm, maybe you could let me know how it went. My thread is linked here... http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/natwest-bank/96430-iainlinsdell-natwest.html

Hi Iain.

Already spotted and linked to your thread matey.

I'm Just off Oxford Road just behind the Norman pub don't know if you are aquainted with it.

I'll definitely let you know how I go on, us Duki lads have to stick together.

Not heard any mention of anybody else having dealings with Tameside CC, just wondering if they are carrying on with current claims or Staying them.

Suppose we will have to wait and see.

Got another claim going through vs Barclays, Preliminary hearing on 5th Oct with the same Judge Gaunt. Onwards and upwards eh!

Good luck Iain.

Hi Glensorie,

 

Take everything to the prelim as suggested in the 'got a court date' thread including the draft order for directions. And don't forget to take the 'stay' template (completed with your own details) to give to the Judge should Cobbetts apply for a 'stay' on your case. At least you'll be prepared to oppose their application! ;)
