    • 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. We are taking HSBC to court and are at the following stage: Acknowledgement of Service of Claim was filed on the 21 Mar and HSBC were given 28 days to file a defence. HSBC's solicitor said on 22 March that they intend to defend all of the claim. We have heard nothing since; should we have heard anything? Also, I keep reading about different forms going to the court like the 'Allocation questionaire' but we haven't been asked to produce one so how does that stage work? Just don't; want to cock it up when we have gone this far and theres £2800 at stake. Thanks for your help.

ps. I'm also after the Halifax but they have ignored the data protection act 40 day limit despite reminders. I am writing to the Information Commissoner to complain; is there anything else I can do as I can't continue the money recovery process until I know how much they have charged me? This is an old, account which was closed a couple of years ago. I sent proof of change of address with the request under the DPA and it also went registered post. I know its for the Halifax but this is a fairly generic point for anyone failing to comply with the data protection act. Many thanks once again.

 

Trying to 'keep the faith'

Hi makalu,,, as claim was issued on 22nd march.. you then have 28 days... did you file your claim with mcol?? as the 28 days is more or less up by now... I would think you'll receive a notice of transfer in the next few days....this will tell you which court your case will be heard and whether or not an aq is required... In my case receiving the transfer after 28 days took around another 7.... all very slow but probably because the courts are inundated with us guys putting in our cliams for unfair charges.

When you recieve your transfer I suggest reading all the links regarding aq's! Keep the faith!!!

From my calcs (which at the moment I'm seriously doubting myself) today is day 29 or 30 so you'll probably find that DG have filed a defence in the last couple of days. Have you gone through MCOL or are you using your local County Court? Either way get in touch with them in the first instance to find out if DG have entered a defence.

 

If you're doing it through MCOL then at this stage it will most likely get transferred to your local CC. You'll then get a "Notice Of Transfer Of Proceedings" which will include a full copy of DG's defence...I'm thinking of framing mine as it makes me giggle every time I read it.

 

NORMALLY after the Notice of Transfer the local CC would then issue an AQ which is basically for the courts to decide which track to send the claim to, ie fast tack, multi track or small claims. Yours, looking at the amount would be small claims.

 

HOWEVER, what has been happening more recently is that the local CC's have been missing out the AQ and gone straight to issuing a court date. DO NOT PANIC!!!! It's thought that this is being done in an effort to try and clear down the logjam of claims that have hit the courts. The Judges know that DG have yet to enter a courtroom and have always settled before getting to the actual court date so it's highly likely that this is just their way of speeding things up a bit as well.

 

Hope that helps and if anyone would like to correct me, please do :)

DCA's - they have the same power as an infinite number of untrained chimps working on a script for Hamlet, but the chimps would probably at least get it right :D

Many thanks Janeykate, at least we know we haven't missed anything out! We did file through mcol. While I'm waiting I'd best get on with LloydsTSB, Halifax, Woolwich............................................

Many thanks also Rayne; we used MCOL so will find out if a defence has been lodged. I gather DG saying they would straight away is standard procedure for them then?

Pretty much yes. They have pretty much always filed a defence but have as yet to enter a courtroom. Simply another scare tactic.

best wishes to you too makalu...... it all can get a little confusing especially as now it seems aq's are being dispensed with (in some cases) ....hsbc/dg are playing the game of stringing us out for as long as possible...knowing they'll have to pay up in the end....the only thing that keeps me sane is coming on this website and watching how other peeps are doing... we're all in the same boat, and we will get whats due albeit after a pretty long wait!!

Welcome Makalu,

The only additional advice i can offer you is not to try taking all these banks on at once. The court fees soon mount up and you will confuse one case with another. There is no time limit so do one or maybe two at a time, eventually you will get it all back.
