We realise that you are scared. Everybody is. But you will be more scared if you also don't tell the truth. At least if you simply come clean, that is one big hurdle that you have overcome. After that just be open and as honest as possible and whatever the consequences are they will be better than if you were caught in a lie – even if they are only slightly better -
Alright. I will just be straight and truthful. It happened first time I'm just little scared. Just waiting for the letter now. -

Well the Private Code of parking has come out just in time to shut down the rogues advising their members that they can charge the additional £70. Also it looks as if with the Consideration time with the Government scheme that there will be an extra five minutes or so included in the parking period. Unlike the rogues plan where they allow five minutes Consideration time which is not counted as parking, but if you do not leave it IS counted as parking. Absolutely pathetic-and greedy and confusing. -

You have to hand it to the parking companies, they have done a pretty good job of blind siding the media into reporting this as "new laws" or "new rules" as if their Code were from an official body or from the government or had some formal legal status. It doesn't, it's just the PPCs' own opinion of what a Code of Practice should say, issued jointly by their trade associations BPA and IPC. It is not endorsed or supported by government (and doesn't claim to be). Nevertheless it will still indirectly have some legal effect because the DVLA rules on giving vehicle/keeper information to PPCs requires [my bold] that they "must be a member of a DVLA Accredited Trade Association (ATA) and operate in compliance with the association’s code of practice". As noted already in the thread they put in several provisions that favour themselves. I see they make this assertion, but cite no legal authority for it [my bold]: "NOTE: The driver is often the same person as the keeper and/or the hirer. Where a keeper or hirer fails or refuses to provide the name and serviceable address of the driver when requested to, it may be assumed they are the driver, based on that failure or refusal. " The withdrawn government Code made no such statement but we've already seen the assertion made in a number of court claims brought by PPCs and now it's in their Code we can expect to see more. It would be good to see one where the judge rejects it. All this has come about of course because of the failure of the government to move forward with a statutory Code of Practice (to replace the Code they withdrew in 2022). The PPCs have stepped into the gap left by government inaction and perhaps hope that the government will take the easy route and simply adopt theirs? But it still remains the law that the government MUST produce its own statutory Code. s1 Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019. Oddly I just discovered that the Act was brought into force on 24th May 2024, one of the last things the outgoing government did! The Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019 (Commencement) Regulations 2024 (legislation.gov.uk) But no sign of a new draft statutory Code of Practice. I wonder what priority the new government will give it?

Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld
ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,
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-

Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available
BankFodder posted a post in a topic,
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.
