Court rulings on repairs just after Warranty finished
"David Littlewood" wrote in message ... In article , john east writes Am I the first person in the country to go to the county court to say my laptop (or what ever it is) has not lasted reasonably long enough and so fails on the 'Durability' aspect? I'm a bit surprised that no one has answered my original post question about what my likely chances of success are to get some help with the cost of repair at the County Court. Perhaps those 'in the know' feel they should not be speaking out in a public forum. Thanks for any further advice. timedream95( ....... )gmail.com Whatever your chances of success, you do realise that making a small claim in the County Court is a very cheap process and one in which the defendant cannot claim his costs from you even if you lose? Your best course may be to make a claim, without expert evidence (because IIRC you can't claim your costs either), and rely on common sense to make your case. There is a very good chance that the defendant will find that the cost of sending someone to defend the case is more than the cost of making good your loss. IIRC, you can make the claim in the County Court of your area of residence, which is convenient for you and probably not for them (but do check in the helpful notes on the Court Service website, it is some time since I did this). You should also consider not cross-posting to 6 groups, it tends to make some people grumpy. I have sent this to just the NG I read. David -- David Littlewood ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ David thanks. that's just the kind of 'insight' that is most helpful. I still cannot see the problem with posting to 6 groups. It is relevant to all these groups in one way or another. Most people know of stuff that breaks down far too soon, so could be helpful. Also the wider the audience (ie the more groups) the more likely some good ideas are likely to spring up. Apart from making the grumpy even more grumpy, can you say what the issue is? |
