    • I googled "prescribed disability" to see where it is defined for the purposes of S.92. I found HMRC's definition, which included deafness. I don't  think anyone is saying deaf people cant drive, though! digging deeper,  Is it that “prescribed disability” (for the purposes of S.88 and S.92) is defined at: The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999 WWW.LEGISLATION.GOV.UK These Regulations consolidate with amendments the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1996...   ….. and sleep apnoea / increased daytime sleepiness is NOT included there directly as a condition but only becomes prescribed under “liability to sudden attacks of disabling giddiness or fainting” (but falling asleep isn't fainting!), so it isn’t defined there as a “prescribed disability”  Yet, under S.92(2)(b) RTA 1988 “ any other disability likely to cause the driving of a vehicle by him in pursuance of a licence to be a source of danger to the public" So (IMHO) sleep apnea / daytime sleepiness MIGHT be a prescribed disability, but only if it causes likelihood of "driving being a source of danger to the public" : which is where meeting / not meeting the medical standard of fitness to drive comes into play?  
    • You can counter a Judges's question on why you didn't respond by pointing out that any company that charges you with stopping at a zebra crossing is likely to be of a criminal mentality and so unlikely to cancel the PCN plus you didn't want to give away any knowledge you had at that time that could allow them to counteract your claim if it went to Court. There are many ways in which you can see off their stupid claim-you will see them in other threads  where our members have been caught by Met at other airports as well as Bristol.  Time and again they take motorists to Court for "NO Stopping" apparently completely forgetting that the have lost doing that because no stopping is prohibitory and cannot form a contract. Yet they keep on issuing PCNs because so many people just pay up . Crazy . You can see what chuckleheads they are when you read their Claim form which is pursuing you as the driver or the keeper. they don't seem to understand that on airport land because of the Bye laws, the keeper is never liable.

    • 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.

I didn't think you could add s69 interest to a claim based on a regulated agreement

 

usually when i see the interest claim to date of judgement the interest rate is has been as high as 18% so i was very surprised, to put it mildly, that it was only about 8% in this case

Think you're right there - I'm sure PT stated that in one of his posts

 

 

tinkerbell, yes. PT has mentioned this on quite a few threads. They are NOT allowed to add s69 interest to a claim based on a regulated agreement:-D

well i found this ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

The Law Commission

(LAW COM No 287)

PRE-JUDGMENT INTEREST ON

DEBTS AND DAMAGES

Item 4 of the Eighth Programme of Law Reform:

Compound Interest

Laid before Parliament by the Lord High Chancellor pursuant to section 3(2) of the Law Commissions Act 1965

 

......................

 

 

Interest under a contract or trade usage

2.19 Commercial lenders usually include provisions for compound interest in their contracts. In fact, so common is this arrangement that the courts have accepted that bankers are entitled to compound interest even in the absence of a specific contractual term, on the basis of an implied trade usage.17 Thus a borrower with a

bank loan or mortgage, credit card or store card debts will usually be required to pay compound interest up until the date of judgment.18 However, many other claimants are not protected by contractual terms in this way.

17 In National Bank of Greece SA v Pinios Shipping Co (No 1) [1990] 1 AC 637, the House of

Lords held that, as implied by the usage of bankers, the bank was entitled to capitalise

interest, and it was conceded that the bank was entitled to do so with quarterly rests.

 

18 Normally, compound interest would not be allowed on post-judgment debts. However in

Director General of Fair Trading v First National Bank Plc [2002] 1 AC 481, the House of

Lords upheld an express contractual provision that allowed compound, variable interest

rates on post-judgment debts. They rejected the OFT’s argument that such a term was unfair within the definition of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1994

(SI 1994 No 3159).

Hi All

 

Good to see it seems a result and reading your comments a satisfactory one at least under the circumstance.

Many thanks to those that have HELPED, my total gratitude on your gratuitous time.

 

F.C. #124 Permalink........the answer to that is NO. It will not prejudice my other creditors, in fact it has strenghted my position. The agreement was originally made by the CCCA under there DMP.

It does actually give this creditor a priority status over your other creditors.

Re Link 124

 

Analysing how long it will take to pay off under the tomlin order

 

£9,499.20 at £14.27 PER MONTH = 666 PAYMENTS = 12.8 YEARS

 

 

666 monthly payments = 55.5 YEARS !!!!

 

you know "wot" you are right !!!!!

 

it just goes to show how much thought the person who originally did the maths put into the calculation .

 

obviously they were hoping one would slip up in not paying during the next 55 years

 

obviously "time is NOT of the essence here!"
