    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.
    • thats down to mcol making that option available for you to select, you cant force it. typically if there are known processing delays at northants bulk it will be atleast 14 days later if not more.
    • Thanks   Noting the day to apply for default judgement if necessary
    • nope, as the display model was not the colour the customer wanted. but your question is totally immaterial anyway as custom built doesn't come into it. dx
    • as long as aos is done by day 19 from the date on the claimform they get a total of 33 days to file a defence. (whereby the date top right on the claimform is ONE in the 33 day count) dx

    • 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.

Blackpool County court informed me on phone that Halifax acknowleged my N1 31 July but that there was a stay. when I called at court in person helpful lady there said she did not know what is happening. And I should wait until I heard from court. she sounded like this was a blanket stay and not just my case, and was not much help when I pressed for more information. she did say when I aked if I was to ask Court to set aside stay that some judges might be inclined toward me. Suppose I just have to wait for Info from court. or can I ask for judgment on 8 August (the date halifax had to file defence?)

I spoke to the court yesterday.

Spoke to a really helpful court manager who told me that most of the banks are not sending in their bundles even though it is still business as usual.

 

Nothing has changed as far as the courts are concerned.

 

He also said: it was our duty to follow up and chase the banks for the bundles.

He stressed the importance of letting the court know of any additional letters/ calls that you might have to make in chasing up any matters.

 

Said that they were not surprised that the banks were not sending their bundles as they all seemed to go for a settlement 2 or 3 days before the hearing.

I am probably asking a simple question here, so bear with me... I am hoping to file with the court next week with one of my claims. I live very near one court and not too far away from another, so presumably I have the choice of filing with either (I will phone them first though and check that all is still running smoothly with them) BUt if one of them is accepting "stays" it is probably not a good idea to file via MCOL just in case? Have I got this wrong? bear with me please!

I won against MBNA, Nat West , Barclays, Barclaycard and PPI payments from Barclaycard

Abbey National still to go.... what will I do with my spare time?

In my opinion, i would file with your local court direct as filing with MCOL will only add more time to the process and as it will eventually end up in one of your local courts anyway i would just go direct. In my case it added on about an extra month to the time that it took the judge to even look at my case. I's up to you of course but that's my experience, don't know if everyone feels the same.........????

Hi there Bonnie, I've got four claims at Guildford at the moment, and have just been issued with the 'new' directions against Barclays. Fair to say its business as normal.

 

 

Cheers for that UKCROW!!!!! At least i can relax a little now (or until the 13th to find out if Abbey have submitted if they're gonna defend or not)!!:-?

 

Everything crossed!!!

As for overdraft charges - you nly get charged because your account hasn't enough in to cover it - hence into an overdraft

 

I rang Salford County Court and my hearing in the second week of Sep is going ahead. I was planning to negotiate with Abbey as in my court directions ...'the parties are encouraged to contact each other with a view to trying to settle the case or narrow the issues'

 

A stay could have been applied for within seven days of the service of the order and it wasn't so not sure whether to point this out to Abbey and ask for a settlement.

 

Be interesting to see what they say.

I called-up Wellingborough CC a few days ago.

 

They are proceeding as normal. But they have one hellava backlog so I won't be hearing from them for sometime.

 

 

Just goes to show how observent I am. I knew there was a court of some kind next to the cop shop but didn't realise it was a CC, I thought it was some local carrat crunchers court for the farmers to sort out there disputes in!!!!!!!!:D :D :D Oh well, Could have saved me petrol and parking costs, traveling All the way to Northampton!
