    • 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. Signed I am the Defendant - I believe that the facts stated in this form are true XXXXXXXXXXX 01/05/2024   Defendant's date of birth XXXXXXXXXX   Address to which notices about this claim can be sent to you

    • 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.

hiya

ive got a case iin liverpool county court tomorrow at 2pm. I received a letter off dg solicitors last week telling me they were applying for a stay and basically saying its not worth me going and they'll keep my complaint on file and let me know what happens after the test case.

 

I then rang the court and was told all hearing would be going ahead.

 

Not sure whether dg thought i would just not turn up?

 

Ive just realised aswell i havent received a schedule/bundle from dg solicitors?

I sent a small bundle in to dg and the court 21 days ago but didnt receive anything from the defence. I asked court who said he couldnt see anything off them on file. Will this go in my favour?

HSBC's request for a stay on my claim at the final hearing last week was refused on hardship grounds. However, the judge gave them the opportunity to have the stay granted if they undertook not to debit any more charges or interest from my account at its present state of indebtedness until my case was resolved ie after the OFT case is sorted. They asked to be given a week to think about it - it didn't seem to be a situation they had faced previously. That week is up tomorrow morning at 10am.

HSBC vs 7QZ49975(claim number)

 

Absolute waste of time!!!Why could they have not told me on the phone?Instead I had to take a day off work only to be told all cases were being stayed at Liverpool court. We asked if we could object to the stay. the judge stated that unless we could prove our individual case was different to everybody elses it would be pointless. I approached the judge after the hearing informing her I had heard nothing from the bank or DG Solicitors at all in the way of defence information and that they had not kept to their side of things - She took my letter and added it to my 'file' for future reference. The 'representative' was either completely stupid or purposely intent on giving false information about my claim in court ie An out of date schedule of charges and repeatedly changed the subject or diverted away from it when I asked why I had not been sent defence details prior to the case.

When I asked how long this will all take her answer was : The test case will happen early 2008, probably up to March. The Banks will appeal to the test case outcome where it will then be passed on to the House Of Lords. If this happens expect to wait until late next year.

I am gutted. I began this claim in february. 6 months on, loads of paperwork, nudge letters, no offers, £220 in court costs and nothing! The irony here is that I also handled a few other claims for friends & family and they have all been paid out!

ok ok can understand how you feel J my own case was stayed less than 24 hours before the hearing....... righ all you have to do is fill out an N244 and submit it asking for a hearing............ to have the stay set aside. this gives you time for us to help you prepare your arguements..............

 

I applied for mine on the 9th august my hearing was the 7th............. letter came in yesterday dated 15th hearing is set for Oct..........

 

Trust me I knwo the feelings.. but it is not yet a lost cause..........

 

Adding a letter to a fiel is totally different to filing a N244......... they have only 2 options if you do this and that is to removce the stay without the hearing or have a hearing.............

 

ALL IS NOT LOST ADN THIS IS THE COURTS WAY OF DETERING PPL FORM THE N244 ROUTE............

rockin all over the world
