Pt

Are there any positives to come out of all this?

Re: yup Pt2537 is here now too

With all due respect to the more established dogs here (tongue in cheek), the problem about taking a case to Court is that counsel opinion can differ even on the same clear cut wording of statute or a previous precedent.

We are all entitled to our opinions on whether a case would be successful or not, but it is the Judge's opinion that matters.

Some of you might have thought Slater was a waste of time, others that it was worth pursuing but the point is that, as you are so divided, so too is legal opinion. If the case had no merits, then counsel would have pointed that out right in the beginning. This case obviously had merits because no self respecting counsel would advise to go to Court for a case if they knew the possibility of success was remote and again, the insurance company would not insure against a loss if there was a remote possibility of success. To put it simply, the Judge would have heard authorities, reason and logic, and policy arguments with the most important being authorities. I am speculating here but if the authorities for Slater were not present or were actually differentiated by Egg, then it would come down to reason and logic, and policy as the points to argue for Slater. To not get bogged down in the details of how a Judge would come to a decision and to keep it short, if the Judge is not convinced by the reason and logic arguments, which is reliant on witness statements and cross examination a lot more than an authorities argument would, then the case could in all probability fail.

The thing that Slater did was to clarify statute even further which is good and some might argue against these types of cases going to Court, but then, how would everyone know what they can or cannot do. The cases may go against the consumer but it informs the consumer what can and can't be done so that is not at all a bad thing. So there is never a case without merit, but there is always a case which clarifies the law book further.

I'm more worried by the feeling that the courts are now favouring creditors. The publicity surrounding the CCA and the mass of advertisements from claims management companies may be leading to the courts taking a firm line against debtors.

Hi
I hope not because that really is a complete dead end.

Peter

Are you saying the multiple agreement argument was a bad one?

[leclerc]

Re: yup Pt2537 is here now too

Hi

Pointless theorising really.
I dont know if this is a factor or just me getting above myself but if it makes a difference i promise not to comment or refer to the judgement either here or on any forum if it is posted this weekend for say at least a month.
People need to see this

Peter

Here but a minor misread on my part re the caveat.

Re: yup Pt2537 is here now too

Peter, were you commenting directly on the judgement after your previous post of stating that you would not do so until Tuesday.
If the answer is yes then you need to slap yourself and if it was not in relation to the judgement then you need to be more clearer in your post on another forum if CAG classed as "another forum" as per your own specific post yesterday.
Let's at least nail down one part of the silly argument which is based on written words and actions.

I believe there were a number of challenges put forward by PT and co one of which was the multiple agreement argument. I take it this failed too?

Complete hogwash, this is why he is refusing to post the judgement, he has had this in his posetion for three weeks if someone had not recieved a letter from

Egg mentioning that the judgment had been made no one would know about it yet.

Cant understand why people are so gullible

IMO, the above post was totally unecessary.

Hi Missed the bit about the post being unecessary.
perhaps if you looked at the posts preceding it in contexet.

I seem to get a lot of my posts transported from other sites and posted out of context.
Not that i appolgise for the contents of the post as far as i can see it is 100% accurate unless you can point out otherwise

As ever, you prevaricate!

Central Trust Plc v Spurway [2005] CCLR 1

And before you come back and remind us that the above related to s77; we know.

Anyhow, I will post no more about the matter until Tuesday.
As per Leclerc's advice regarding le soleil!

Prevaricate what

I gave you a atatement of fact

and THe case you mentioned was nothing to do with section 77 it was a fixed sum agreement if that is what you mean.

Yes for general information the figurre that appeared to be prescribed term total credit was technically incorrect.

Hence the breach

NO such thing in a credit card

Re: yup Pt2537 is here now too

Hi this is a matter of inderstanding the regs nothing to do with the judjement.

No AC you understand incorrectly.
As far as enforcebility of the agreement is concerned all the matters is complience with the minimum requirements outlined in schedule six,

Section 127(3) does not care about whether or not who understands what that is a schedule 1 matter. at most a section 65 breach

Any way going back to the egg thing Mrs Slaters understanding is irrelavant the mater is ,is the agreement properly executed or not

Re: yup Pt2537 is here now too

As far as I am aware, one of the main issues, as per 'sturway' was;
would a lay person fully understand the term(s): Limit, Limits or Approved Limit, as opposed to the term, Credit Limit?

She either understood or, she did not understand.

I am presuming of course, that Ms. Slater was not fully conversant with the Consumer Credit Act and Regs., at the time of application, as most of us were not.

Why on earth, would she change her mind?

Or, is there more to this than meets the eye?

So that means Tuesday so take your arguments everyone else and shove them where the sun does not shine.
On Tuesday, bring them back out when the sun hopefully will be shining and you can read the judgement in full.
I won't be commenting on the judgement simply because I have the faintest idea but can we stop the nonsense until we have read the full judgement on Tuesday. If you want to bicker or speculate then please do so via PM cos quite frankly it's boring(perhaps helping others might be more useful ).

Re: yup Pt2537 is here now too

Hi
Must admit to being a bit confused by this.


How would a witness statement influence a technical case like this, i understood she was being represented, surely the judge wold not expect her to explain the technicalities involved in the action for unenforceability of the agreement.

Please be so kind to point out to me where in my post I made excuses for PT or invented a conspiracy theory.

When you can't it would be polite to say so.

Also your post from yesterday evening on this thread was a waste of time........

Hi
You still havent answered the question just muddied the water with this vandetta nonsense.

Yes it wa a waste of time i thought perhaps it may have helped get the Judgement availabe for the rest of you,worth a try.

At least now i will be free to disect it and point out the many areas where i was absolutely correct
