    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

Btw, please don't believe all the meejah pundits and Govt. spokespeople now saying that this is a direct result of 'climate change' - this is the aftereffects of El Nino, and was predicted by weather experts a few months ago (funnily enough, using the same meejah outlets that are now proclaiming that the End Is Nigh). In essence, this is the ripple effect of a really big hurricane/typoon's temper tantrum on the other side of the world. Little Boy sneezes and England catches a cold sort of thing. Shouldn't last much longer in meteorological terms. :)

lol - I'm not saying that us doity parasites (human beans) aren't screwing the world over by pumping all our synthetic chemicals into the air and dumping all our toxic landfills underground - it's just that we have been due an Ice Age for about 4,000 years now, and as Earth's climate is cyclical (as are all things), this 'strange' (to us) weather is nothing unusual for a living rock that is billions of billions of years young. We're not doing her a favour, you understand; but it's typically arrogant of us parasites to assume that our actions are so hugely influencing that we can forever impair our whole planet's climate system...

 

Course, 'we' are to blame for the flooding of human habitations - after all, we built houses on flood plains and concreted/tarmac'd almost every scrap of land for miles around...can't blame Earth for spreading her waters out in the area they're accustomed to spreading out... :D

:mad: With u there, had a lovely field over the back of us which good old local council and Mr Whimpey (no back handers of course) put about 40 plus boxes on. got rid of all the blackberries and pheasants and foxes etc. Couldn't care less about objections. Built on an area known as Springfields!! should not that ring alarm bells with prospective owners. Well probably not seeing as most are housing association or commuters from London etc. who wouldn't care about our suburban lifestyle. If one more complains about my chickens or bonfires. Thankfully no floods at our end yet tho plenty in surrounding - Trent and all that.

Hey everyone, I walked the whole of the West Highland Way in Scotland last week and the weather was great except for one morning when it tipped it down. That must be a record:D

 

Got back home Sunday and the brakes on my car had all but seized up with the volume of rain in the NE ... :eek:

We had a little patch of 'waste land' just over the road until a few months ago. It was in between houses and was obviously where an old house had been partially demolished and left to rot; it was abundant with fresh, green life, a paradise for little creatures and multitudes of insects. It was bordered with a very thick, high hedge of beautiful dark green holly (autumn-winter, sprinkled with the brightest red berries I've seen in a long time), which kept out the yobs and their litter, and it always used to brighten up my walk as I went past it, thinking of all the beasties that made it their home in the middle of the gross urban sprawl...

 

A building company moved in and cleared it two months ago. It's going to be four apartments with garages.

 

And yes, it is happening all over the UK/Eire. The Thornborough Henges and the Hills of Tara are more serious examples of modern life ravenously swallowing our green patches as fast as the tarmac can be quarried (Thornborough) and the motorways laid (Tara). Concrete depresses people. City air is bad for the lungs. Being close to roads all the time, with cars rushing here and there, increases stress. I don't know about some of you on here, but as soon as I get the money for it (don't care how long it takes), I'm moving to a log cabin in the middle of at least an acre of land, and I'm shooting anyone who so much as looks at my property whilst carrying a briefcase, mobile phone or PDA....

Been thinking of that for a long time too - even a static would do. Love my animals , 12 chucks, 6 cats, 2 dogs, 5 rabbits, 5 guineas, 2 terrapins , fish etc. always wanted a cow and a pig. Good life here we come! An island would be better all that water between everyone an that.

Well, I've been meaning to look up a suitable island for when the Zombie Apocalypse destroys most of humankind. It's got to be fertile (so possibly a partially-sunken, extinct volcano), defensible, with one harboured entry point and a concealed or virtually impenetrable emergency escape route to the sea, and forested, for building and working materials. The Pacific Ocean can be quite deserted...think I'll start there... :D

Only if you're prepared to dig your own privy every month and breed enough chickens for the occasional meat dish now and then ;) Depending on the size of the island, we'd need about ten healthy intelligent adults (five male, five female) to ensure safety and survival; at least one would have to have medical training, and any other with engineering/carpentry/agricultural skills would be a bonus... anyone else? :D

Privy not a problem, been to rallies and all that, dunny's not savoury, field much better. Do mechanics count tho don't know how they would weld horse drawn ploughs without the electric. Must get a fit bloke to pedal the wheel to make that work. Interesting passtime! Meat no problem - snails, hedgehogs, squirrels, pigeons and crows apparently good grub. And them as well if you can hack it. some interesting fodder out there if you need to.

Mechanic'd do at a pinch, but we'd still need someone with at least a basic idea of trig, physics, engineering.

 

How would they weld a plough without electricity? Do I really have to answer that one, or have you had a good think and become ashamed of yourself in the meantime? ;)
