    • 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.

Is there anywhere apart from the Daily Sceptic that believes this? It would be more credible if the team actually included a medic.

So the government want the army to stand in for the health service when the strikes happen. I can't imagine there are enough of them available.

 

Meanwhile, the Home Office are shipping migrants all over the country, even though some of them are infected with diphtheria from Manston, to pass it to the rest of the population. Have they learned nothing from when Covid-positive patients were sent to care homes?

There's a huge amount of news coming out about Covid management now. The Times says the government paid twice as much for Michelle Mone's masks as they could have through other companies. The exact same masks by the same manufacturer - half the price elsewhere.

 

Door Matt's account of how he saved the country from the virus has been described as 'delusional'. Jolyon Maugham has suggested it should go for a Booker prize for fiction and wonders if the personal diary quotes are made up for the book. They don't seem to tally with other accounts of what happened.

Michelle Mone has taken leave of absence from the Lords to 'clear her name' of unfair allegations. A Labour humble address is likely to force HMG to give papers on Medpro dealings to the Public Accounts Committee.

 

She's attended the  Lords five times in seven years, I think it is and last voted in late April, shortly before the raid by the NCA.

 

Potentially it seems she could lose her title or have to leave the Lords.

More on Mone from the Beeb.

 

What's this about? Her request could be rejected by the Lords authorities - but if it is approved she does not have to register any changes to her financial interests.

Baroness Mone is accused of benefitting from a company she recommended for a Covid contract.

There's more. I wonder if the answers in the Commons today about lobbying by Michelle Mone and the possibility of a long wait for details has persuaded investigative journos to publish more and keep searching.

So it’s all good in France then🤣
 

The sceptics, and there are many in France, believe that the government is purposely making a noise about Covid to distract from the other crises afflicting the country: the rocketing food and fuel prices and the increasing likelihood that there will be prolonged blackouts from January onwards.  

 

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/unlike-britain-france-is-far-from-finished-with-covid/
 

 

 

What's funny, TOR?

 

Having read that article, one has to wonder if France is the best place for Gavin Mortimer to live.

 

It isn't how it feels where I am, away from Paris. There's the odd public service advert about wearing a mask in certain circumstances but no more than that. The two newspapers I read didn't have anything on Covid today.

 

It's an interesting perspective in the article but it sounds more like an excuse to bash the foreigners.

I agree, UB, personal choice. I had a booster jab yesterday.

 

I think the situation is more nuanced for people like health service personnel and carers though.

 

The information that TOR posted might be better received, and at least considered, if it didn't come from someone who lied in court and was reprimanded by a high court judge and claimed that all Brits would be able to have Irish passports after Brexit.
