    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf

    • 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.

Found the terms and conditions now (1992, 2002 and 2006 all seem reasonably relevant to my case) - so ignore previous post please.

 

One final question though - will this appearance in court actually involve me standing up in front of a judge and taking an oath - and then arguing against a qualified solicitor ?

 

nervously yours,

If it gets to court you are most likely to be in a room sitting round a big table - judge at the 'head', you on one side, Cobbetts on the other. If Cobbetts turn up is is likely to be the office junior.

No joy folks - the District Judge ordered that my application to lift the stay fail.

 

The solicitor NatWest sent along dropped a "Skeleton Argument for the Defendant" into my hands 5 minutes before the hearing (nice - not !). I argued against two of the 11 points but to no avail.

 

This document does include a couple of useful snippets though... one is the OFT case will consist of "a two week trial in the Commercial Court commencing 14 January 2008" The DJ altered the wording of my stay to reflect that settlement should be made within 28 days of the outcome of this test case. So there we have the dates...

 

The second point worth mentioning is that in defence of the injunctions sought in the application to lift the stay their document states: "...the alternative injunctions sought by the Claimant would alter the status quo. It is simply not feasible for the Bank to give an undertaking to turn off its unauthorised overdraft charges system in respect of one account..." - is it me or is that it in black and white, that their charges are computerised ?

 

Anyway, I tried and lost - let's keep our fingers and toes crossed for the end of January !

 

All the best and thanks so much for all your help.

 

If anybody needs to see this skeleton argument, I could scan and post it here - it doesn't say Without Prejudice.

Greetings Everyone !

 

Today seems like a pretty good day - I just heard the test case news.

 

As Cobbetts acknowledged service and filed their defence on the 24th July 2007 - (my case was subsequently stayed) - what is likely to happen now ?

 

The way I see it, is that if I had started all of this a month earlier, I would have finished just before the test case started (poor timing on my part, as I waited over a month whilst I got Lloyds to pay up in full [!]) - so I hope that someone here can offer an opinion as to the likely direction from here on in...

 

Also, what about interest ? - is that still running ? from the date of the stay until now ?

 

I hope this doesn't drag on for too much longer...

 

All the best everyone,

 

Jon

IMHO not a lot will happen. It is likely that the banks will appeal and the stays may well remain until that is settled. however, the interest meter is ticking (and will continue to do so :))

really ! - does that interest just keep on ticking up ? Mine's £2.05 per day. Obviously I'm not going to complain about that though !

 

So, I guess it's time to sit back and wait for the directions from the District Judge to drop on the doormat then.

 

I think a small glass of something to celebrate this first small high court 'victory' is in order though :D
