Here's hoping it comes down in Richards favour as I am sure it will benefit us so much and we will be one of the first to benefit from it in our Appeal in June.
So Lady Luck be in Supreme Court today and on Richards shoulder.

Just reading through Richard's MSE thread from 2008 which predictably received plenty of hostile responses. I sincerely hope they have to eat their words later on this morning. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...d.php?t=885979

Re: Richard Durkin v HFC / PC World supreme court hearing 28th January 2014

I was just looking back through at this bit:

"[65] That concession was very properly made. The provisions of the 1974 Act admit the possibility of a creditor such as the second respondents supplying information relating to a debtor, such as the appellant, to a credit reference agency licensed under the Act. The credit agreement between the appellant and the second respondents in the present case explicitly provided that the appellant agreed that the second respondents could supply information relating to the credit agreement and to his conduct of the loan he received in terms of that agreement to credit reference agencies. The provisions of section 159 of the 1974 Act enabled the appellant to give notice of correction to credit reference agencies, which he did. In such circumstances, standing the appellant's conscious decision not to make any payments under the credit agreement to the second respondents and the conclusion we have reached on the issue of whether the appellant was entitled to rescind his credit agreement with the second respondents, by relying on the provisions of section 75(1), we consider that the second respondents were entitled to treat the appellant as being in default of the credit agreement. In these circumstances it follows that the Sheriff was not entitled to hold that the second respondents had made false representations relating to the appellant; that the second respondents had breached a duty of care they owed to him; and that the appellant was entitled to the award of damages he made."


Common sense really didnt enter into this one, did it?

How can he possibly be said to still owe them payments when it's admitted he returned the item it was taken for?

Good grief, what a sheer bl**dy mess

Around 10.30am then I guess.

More like 9.50 something given that hand downs take roughly between 5 & 8 minutes http://www.youtube.com/user/UKSupremeCourt

They are there to establish the facts in law and I doubt that any impact has a bearing on their decision. Historically the Judges ruling on this particular case have made some good factual decisions.

Re: Richard Durkin v HFC / PC World supreme court hearing 28th January 2014

Thats the part that worries me - that the possible impact may influence their decision

Re: Richard Durkin v HFC / PC World supreme court hearing 28th January 2014

Around 10.30am then I guess. Should be very interesting and hopefully they will also comment on the impact of CRA markers too, batten down the hatches I think this may cause an influx if positive judgment.
