    • 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.

They have already got the stay. This is a hearing to have it set aside.

Do the directions say that they have to set it up Penfold?

 

 

Yes, " The Defendant's Legal Representative is ordered to arrange the telephone hearing."

Question is, if they don't set it up - what happens? Does the judge find for the claimant or just leave the stay in anyway?

 

 

I guess I could ask for strike out based on not complying with court order/ direction?

Can someone please explain why is a telephone hearing so expensive? Surely in this day and age a three way call is not that bad?

 

Thanks,

Sorry I don't know Penfold - maybe because it's got to be a dedicated line specially set up - but I know the banks paid up rather than do it....

 

Ps Thanks to whoever gave me a rep tic ?

Freaky, I just don't know! I just got the impression that when the judge ordered one in my case (twice), they came back immediately with an offer. 1x Barclays, 1x HSBC

 

It may be the hassle of setting one up, bearing in mind what solicitors charge for an hourly rate :rolleyes: or it may be the cost- but I don't think I've ever heard a price mentioned :?

 

Have we got any telephone engineers or sales people on the forum who could tell us?

I have heard a few times that is is the expense that puts them off from setting these things up but I don't think it would compair to paying a barrister to attend court.

 

Lets hope there are some BT engineers out there who can tell us.

 

 

My thoughts too.

Well, these options seem to be as cheap as chips, so not sure where the cost comes in? BT is apparently 80% more than the first one, but even that's not bank-breaking - Oops! sorry, no pun intended! :D

 

Be interesting to see what information the court give Penfold .........

Court has merely reitterated that Defendant will speak to the call conference operator to organise. That's it...sit and wait, but I have told Judge do not know proceedure and told DG to ring me too so no excuse for either of them. Trying to cover all bases...

I wouldn't wait for them to tell you the arrangements, Penfold they'd like nothing better than a hearing without you there...... I think I'd e-mail(with receipt request) or fax them for details of what they're setting up and when - that way if they don't answer you've got proof that you asked..... :)

LOL True fully expecting them to play the game. In a way I would not mind, because i will be on them before the date, but make the court aware of the letters etc. (all will be recorded too)

of course, but who knows what and how they will do things now with more and more people are applying to set aside the stays. We will have to monitor what the Judges do and say. I guess next month we will have a better picture after a few people get their hearings...

Sorry, you're right, Penfold - my son is one of them.......:)

 

I guess I'm just an old cynic LOL! - comes of dealing with banks for the last year and reading the posts of people who they've ruined, lied to and misled, whilst plundering their accounts with unlawful charges. :D

No problems!

 

I truely believe I have an angle that may just get somewhere, but I would rather fail on my own than let anyone else try and fail...

 

If it works well that will be great and the walls may fall down again...

Loving your attitude Penfold!!! The more people that start thinking outside the box the better! The banks will not win on this issue in the long run as long as people don't give up!

 

 

Thanks for the reputation then mate...lol

 

Anyway it really takes the mickey all this. I hope and trust that the judicial system will realise that the public is not interested in waiting several years for a result...We are entitled to a quick and fair trial, why have these guys been allowed to payout shed loads, never go to court and yet now have a right to just postpone the inevitable?

 

Come on guys...Fight the good fight,
