    • 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.

hey up purple silk i think based on what has gone on before you dont need a court bundle cause in essence this is just a directions hearing(?)

.... but then again its best to be prepared fully especailly in light of the berwick case there is an excellent thread here to help http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/hsbc-bank/97447-court-bundles-dummies.html

From what I know of the previous hearings a Court Bundle is not necessary. Donbracho is right when he says it is a directions hearing.

Purplesilk, if you get as far as going to the hearing, besides what you have listed don't forget to take with you all copies of corrrespondence that you have had with the bank both pre and post claim submission. I would also have thought it useful to take the relevant extract from the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contract Regulations 1999, i.e. copy the pages containing Regulation 5(5) and Schedule 2 item 1(e) from that document and a list of the relevant penalty cases , eg Dunlop. It is those documents which form the basis of your case. Also any terms and conditions (T&Cs) from your bank appropriate to the time of the charges.

 

Can anybody who has actually attended a Leeds Mercantile hearing give the definitive as to what documents to take to the hearing please.

Now I'm panicking. I can't get the 28th off from work. Do I contact the court and ask for another date? Oh this is all doing my head in now!!!!

 

I have emailed Paul Quinn asking if settlement out of court would be an option so hopefully he will say yes!

I think our Judge is going to be brill if we get that far...he seems to be one of the ones pushing the banks...see this quote from the BBC...

 

 

It would be helpful if there was a decision taken at High Court level to clarify the situation Nationwide end_quote_rb.gif

 

 

Judge Roger Kaye QC

 

 

Last month, Leeds Mercantile Court listed 77 cases in one day, all of which were settled out of court.

Afterwards, Judge Roger Kaye QC said "it would be helpful if there was a decision taken at High Court level to clarify the situation nationwide".

In Bristol County Court a successful claimant was recently awarded £84.41 in costs as the judge ruled Lloyds TSB wasted the court's time because it had had no intention of defending the claim.

In January, a Judge at Lincoln County Court threatened to strike out some banks' defences for abusing the legal process for the same reason.

At the time Judge Paul Collins, speaking on behalf of county court judges in London, said: "It would be very desirable to have a test case to see whether the arguments being put forward by the banks are sustainable or not," he said.

The latest warning from Judge Mackie left the banks with what sounded like a final warning.

"There may be a need for a more radical approach if the number of cases continues to grow," he said.

7 days to go and still nothing from YB

 

This hearing sound like it could be a record breaker, I wonder if the press will show! In any case I think we should all go on the razzle after the hearing around Leeds...I know some great boozers!!!

 

Certainly owe J Barton a drink or 3 for the help and advice.

With all this talk of settlements I'm wondering if it would be frowned upon to not accept any offers. I really want to hold out for the full amount because the bank have dragged this out so long and I have spent ages on it. If I held out would the Judge feel I was been unfair??

Neonron,

 

A case management conference (or directions hearing) is not the trial. It is a discussion/conference to decide the way forward. The judge may give directions to either party to facilitate the way forward, eg you have asked for disclosure at items 5 and 8 on the CMI sheet. The Judge could direct the bank to give you that information.

Hopefully the bank will either settle your claim before the 28th June or on the day.

 

Sorry I can't help you regarding looking thru your case papers. I shouldn't worry too much. If you don't get a settlement before the 28th there will be lots of others at Court in the same position as you, so providing yours is not the first case of the day, you can pick useful info up as the day progresses.

 

Can anybody in the Wakefield area help Neonron please (see his posts)?

Beverleyt,

 

Just seen your post of a few days ago (Ive been away). It is imperative that you contact the Court if you can't be at the hearing. With a possible settlement pending, it's up to you how long you leave it before notifying the Court that you won't be able to attend, but don't leave too late. You will probably have seen from the 26th April hearing that a claimant did not turn up at Court and had not notified the Court. The case was struck out and the Judge ordered the claimant to pay the defendant's costs!!
