    • Nick Wallis has written up the first day of Angela van den Bogerd's evidence to the inquiry. I thought she was awful. She's decided to go with being not bright enough to spot what was happening over Fujitsu altering entries on the Horizon system, rather than covering up important facts. She's there today as well.

    • 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  
    • Hi LFI, Your knowledge in this area is greater than I could possibly hope to have and as such I appreciate your feedback. I'm not sure that I agree the reason why a barrister would say that, only to get new customers, I'm sure he must have had professional experience in this area that qualifies him to make that point. 🙂 In your point 1 you mention: 1] there is a real danger that some part of the appeal will point out that the person appealing [the keeper ] is also the driver. I understand the point you are making but I was referring to when the keeper is also the driver and admits it later and only in this circumstance, but I understand what you are saying. I take on board the issues you raise in point 2. Is it possible that a PPC (claimant) could refer back to the case above as proof that the motorist should have appealed, like they refer back to other cases? Thanks once again for the feedback.

    • 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.

Apparently letter has been received by Natwest ( checked royal mail website ) .

Do you guys print out an online confirmation of the letter being received ?

You can do that on the Royal mail site but you have to wait up to 5 days ...?

 

I imagine the recorded slip is enough ?

Allright!! My lBA still was sent recorded mail on the 8th of May...still no reply from Natwest..it is now the 25th well over the alloted time given for a response..so i am preparing my claim on the Moneyclaim web site.

Has anyone got any idea whether the banks are more prepared to make a defense since the latest (district) court ruling? Has anyone met more than ususal "resistance" from the banks?!

Thanks for that Micky you were right....the question sort of was regarding the latest district ruling..whether banks were now more likely to put up a defence?

 

Anyway, another question here....I have now saved the claim online..and this is the particulars can anyone tell me if this is ok to go? :)

 

 

The Claimant has an account 16214307 with

the Defendant,opened in 1996.

2. Between 14/02/2001 and 08/03/2006 the

Defendant debited numerous charges from the

Claimant’s account.

3.Defendant is aware of all details as a

list of charges has already been supplied.

Another copy will be sent.

4. The charges are an unfair penalty under

the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts

Regulations 1999, because they are a

disproportionately high sum in compensation

compared to the cost of the purported

breach.

5. Under the law of penalties, the charges

are an unlawful ‘extravagant’ penalty.

6.The claimant claims interest under section

69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate

of 8% a year from 14/02/2001 to 25/05/2007

of £ 3070;- and also interest at the same

rate up to the date of judgment or earlier

payment at a daily rate of 0.021%.7.The

Claimant asks the court to enter judgment in

their favour for £3,070 plus interest,

totaling £3,721.79.

 

I'm not totally sure about the interest bit.....

As soon as Nat West submit their defense then MCOL will move your claim to your local court.

reading your MCOL text again (after giving it the nod at the time :rolleyes:) it looks like you put your main charges in where the amount of interest you were claiming should possibly go? Then the interest appears at the end?

 

I'm not familiar with the MCOL template as I went with N1, I doubt it matters as it's clear what's being claimed, perhaps one of the people that know stuff will confirm that

Well this is now Saturday, and still nothing at all.Hmmm.Begining to feel a bit nervous about this! This means that their answer HAS to be there by Monday! Can they respond straight to the court and then send me a letter ? It all seems a bit last minute but I guess at the moment they must be totally swamped.

But one thing is clear, if there is still nothing by monday I will ask for a judgment online!

they're 'allowed' to get it in late

 

there's stuff somewhere about asking for judgement too early. ie before they get their defence in late, sorry to be vague, I think it was best o wait a few days after the deadline, I think

 

best of luck fella, relax and wait and see

Don't do anything until Tuesday. The courts will allow them an extra day because the 18th is a Monday. Let us know if they haven't posted their defense by Tuesday.Good luck.

OK so it wasn't Monday either...What i want to know is has anyone else had this experience with Nasty West?! It seems that everyone is receiving defences etc. but not me?

 

Obviously if there is nothing in the post tomorrow then, I guess I will ask the judge to pass judgment but still it seems weird ?
