    • Thank-you dx, What you have written is certainly helpful to my understanding. The only thing I would say, what I found to be most worrying and led me to start this discussion is, I believe the judge did not merely admonish the defendant in the case in question, but used that point to dismiss the case in the claimants favour. To me, and I don't have your experience or knowledge, that is somewhat troubling. Again, the caveat being that we don't know exactly what went on but I think we can infer the reason for the judgement. Thank-you for your feedback. EDIT: I guess that the case I refer to is only one case and it may never happen again and the strategy not to appeal is still the best strategy even in this event, but I really did find the outcome of that case, not only extremely annoying but also worrying. Let's hope other judges are not quite so narrow minded and don't get fixated on one particular issue as FTMDave alluded to.

    • the claimant in their WS can refer to whatever previous CC judgements they like, as we do in our WS's, but CC judgements do not set a legal precedence. however, they do often refer to judgements like Bevis, those cases do created a precedence as they were court of appeal rulings. as for if the defendant, prior to the raising of a claim, dobbed themselves in as the driver in writing during any appeal to the PPC, i don't think we've seen one case whereby the claimant referred to such in their WS.. ?? but they certainly typically include said appeal letters in their exhibits. i certainly dont think it's a good idea to 'remind' them of such at the defence stage, even if the defendant did admit such in a written appeal. i would further go as far to say, that could be even more damaging to the whole case than a judge admonishing a defendant for not appealing to the PPC in the 1st place. it sort of blows the defendant out the water before the judge reads anything else. dx

    • 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 there,

 

I have already won the case last year. But unfortunately I had forgotton to cancel one direct debit. So, as a rule, they charged me for not having sufficient funds to cover direct debit.

 

And here we go, they charged me later , than once again. (in total 100 pounds) I am realy furious. I sent my Prelimenary letter on March 14, 2007 - no reply (as far as I live in Lithuania since 2006).

 

So I am sending LBA tomorrow.

 

But I want to make sure and find one thread or advise (I have seen last year :-| ) to insure that ALL THE EXPENSES incurred due to the process are reimbursed by Natwest after the hearing.

 

Does anyone remember a person he was charged 100, but claimed 500:) ? and won!!!

I would check with the bank because things have moved on since last year and claims are being settled before court. You may find that the claim has been validated and a letter will be on its way to you

Thank you for your advise Nattie, but if you say that my claim could have been validated, I would have already received the money into my account by now. I do check my account online every other day and the account is without money. So I will anyway send them LBA tomorrow.

 

when you say 'claims are being settled before court' you mean everything finishes before going into court procedures?

not correct. This is merely the term used. This is Customer Relations Unit putting a note on the account stating that they will be sending out an offer albeit outside of the 14 day timescale and usually the full amount, however it has been known for it to take as long as a piece of string.

Well, technically you should receive something within 21 days or a decision being made but not everyone seems to get the response on time. So after LBA and towards end of the period you have specified, give natwest a call, not just customer relations and see if a note exists on your account as to the amount of the offer coming your way. However remember IF the bank fails to follow timescale sue em or sue em anyway within your own timescale.

Dear Nattie,

 

I did not receive nor response neither my dough.

 

I am ready to get the show on the road and sue NW.

 

Though I live in Lithuania now, I still will do it, but I will need your guys help and assistance.

 

Remind me of the address to fill in and later to send by post (to be attached to the claim) the CLAIM TO THE county court or do you advise me to do it thru friend in UK?

 

Thanx

 

Gus

I am about to fill in MCOL. I have got everything sorted out , just to fill in the payment details.

 

I will eventually finish MCOL on Monday.

 

So I will let you know about the outcome, and after it I will send the court a letter requesting for a refund of time and patience wasted :D

 

Because that is the second case to be won and want to give NW a real lesson and ask for 1000 pounds compensation for damn nerves ;)

One week ago I received a settlement offer from rbs lawer trainee anne smth.

 

They offered full claim 150 pounds -which I accepted. They asked in the letter to keep everything in secret - dream on baby - I am going to file a claim now for the time waisted!

 

Because this is the second time I had to pull the bull on its horns:)

 

So I am gonna claim for 500 puonds - do you think its reasonable?:D
