    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

SOUTHEND ON SEA.....

I have just been advised that a number of test cases are being heard at Southend on sea, court on 5th April 2007.

Apparently the court has had enough of the banks settling prior to court action...

I am going to find out when these are happening and try and go to see the outcome.......

I will find out and post with as much info as possible....

If the banks lose in court....does that mean a precident was set?????

 

As Natwest haven't filed a defence through cobbetts in my case.....and tomorrow is their last day to do this....

Courts shut at 12 tomorrow due to Easter.....so I am going to drop the request for judgement in when they close.....so it will be waiting for the court on tuesday when they re-open after easter.....

So could be bailiffs going into Natwest to get my money......Local newspapers will be informed.....lol

Oh goody, that be the judge i saw then i exepct, he wasnt happy with several asepcts of the banks behaviour that day.

 

As to a test case, the banks are likley to settle prior to the hearing or give in when they attend at least this is what has happened histroically.

Are these test cases in the Small Claims or fast track??

 

I wouldn't get to excited about Cobbets.. They will file a defence at the last minute, and even if they don't applying for judgement may not do you any favours. The chances are they will apply for the case to be set aside, which will drag it all that little bit longer...

 

Just don't be to hasty..

I would do as Josa says and hang fire till next tuesday at least. Cobblers have until this next tuesday to get their defence in, on my case, and havent as yet, although I do expect they will at last second. But its not always best to jump straight in and go for judgement. Read up on the cases where its best to wait a few days to show youve allowed them even longer, etc. etc. it tends to look better in your favour rather than go for judgement on day 1 when you can. Last thing you want is for a further delay and set aside or stay.................. give em 3/4 more days extra before rushing for judgement........ Only my opinion, but thats what Im gonna do.

as josamolly mentioned there is a high probability that cobbetts will file a defence (cobbetts faxed there defence in my case on the last day) so calm down and wait to see what happens,u have plenty of time to write letters to the court & cobbetts so hang fire for now as mistakes can cost you time & money

 

be patient & be wise my friend

 

u will get your money but they may well drag the time out

 

hope this helps

What gives you the impression these are test cases?

 

I doubt that very much. For a start they aren't even in the Mercantile Court.

I called the court about my case today and the person in charge there told me they have a number of "test cases" being heard in private chambers tomorrow. I was told that the magistrates had got sick of the bank settling and were interested in actually hearing the cases to make judgements....

I was told they were being impartial but they felt the banks are abusing the system....

I am only going by what they told me today....lol

I was also told that I can find out the rulings from tuesday, due to the easter holiday....

But wasn't allowed to attend due to the sensitive details being discussed!!

Or the claimants account details....lol

You never know....they might actually turn up.....(Me thinks Not!)

They will do sooner or later.....
