Also at any point do I send my detailed POC to court , just so they have track of what is being sent. I've noticed Certificate of service form states "Please attach copies of the documents you have not already filed with the court."
As far as the detailed version of POC this is what I've come up with combining everything together. Although Des did previously mention a lot of these details will be used at later stage (witness statement) I think its quite concise for the detailed version. I'd like to know your thoughts.
BETWEEN:
XX (Claimant)
vs
XX (Defendant)
Ref: XX
1.The Claimant seeks damages arising out of a contract entered into between the Claimant and the Defendant on 20 May 2018 in which the Claimant agreed to purchase a vehicle for the price of £2600.
2.It was a term of the contract that the Defendant agreed to carry out any repairs if the vehicle did not pass its next MOT test. Furthermore, the contract was a consumer one and sections 9 to 11 (inclusive) and section 50 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 were incorporated into the contract as implied terms.
3.On 27 May 2018, the vehicle was inspected prior to its MOT identifying several faults that would cause the vehicle to fail an MOT test.
The Claimant returned the vehicle to the Defendant to carry out the necessary repairs and the Defendant presented the Claimant with a MOT certificate certifying the vehicle as roadworthy.
4.Despite the Defendant producing a valid MOT certificate certifying the vehicle as being roadworthy, a further inspection confirmed that the repairs were not carried out by the Defendant in breach of contract and resulting in loss and damage to the Claimant.
5.Furthermore, Claimant was made aware vehicle with such defects is not deemed roadworthy, and illegal. Inspection have listed faults as follows:
- Rear shock absorbers (both)
- Rear bump stops (both)
- Nearside front (cut) Offside front and offside rear need require immediate attention
- Front tyres different sizes (Illegal)
- Wipers Smearing (dangerous)
- (video and report available)
6.Defendant has assured Claimant, vehicle is free of defects and roadworthy. Defendant has misdescribed the vehicle and mislead the Claimant.
7.The goods were misdescribed by Defendant, not fit for purpose, nor of satisfactory quality, contrary to the Consumer Rights Act 2015 section.
8.The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires dealers to supply goods of satisfactory quality. However, the vehicle is clearly not fit for purpose and not of satisfactory quality. Defendant is therefore in breach of contract.
9.Despite numerous written requests on 19 June 2018 which Defendant acknowledged, the Defendant has ignored the notices of rejection and remains indebted to the Claimant.
Accordingly, the Claimant claims the sum of £2600.
Court costs of £105.
Additional costs of £XX.
Interest in accordance with section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at such rate and for such period as the court thinks fit.
Statement of Truth: I confirm that the contents of this statement are true to the best of my knowledge and belief.
EDIT: maybe worth to make it more clear that the vehicle was rejected within 30 days somewhere?
