Ryland & Fletcher

Rylands V Fletcher gave birth to public liability - it was set up in 1800 something or other and it was a case where Rylands built a (artificial water for the Red Mill- his factory) reservior.

The careless builders did not block up any holes with bricks in the construction which seems a bit ridiculous but its true. So when the water was put in it flooded down old mine shafts and found its way to Fletchers mine and rendered by flooding his every day business worthless.

This established the rule of 'absolute liability' - so no being put to long drawn out and often expensive proof that an event simply happened and it was someones fault simples!!

So recently it was overturned... ahhh... in a Tyre/Fire case where it was said tyre's were not dangerous...

In my case the retained parts under the landlords control flooded me so many times and did not fix for months it rendered the business worthless..

It is important that a case where there is a one off fire in a tyre factory that causes damage to the property next door and served to overturn the Rylands & Fletcher case is not a good example to overturn it and insurance companies must love that judgement..

In my case I think 'absolute liability' in the court of appeal.. without too much argument can honestly out of common sense be Re-established!!! Don't you think? As the little people will always then get messed about by the more powerful saying well prove it when it is obvious that liability is there... Our rights must be being eroded even without our knowledge. But I will bet insurance companies will know!

The main points after a day and back in at 10am today...

The War of the Roses and families...

Main points;

LAndlords rights

Absurd unreasonableness

Justice or not?

This is a war!!

Concedes not section 11 - barristers winging it

Are the insurers getting away with it backing landlords

Is this an indication of human rights and prospect for children's right

Me got to be able to argue my points in law and law to be in any case observed or this case like the transcripts will disappear me with it

Brain in overdrive...

Corruption!!

Time to support this youth leader...

Dead lock.. Times got to change! Opportunity for the taking today!

Mary Moss whose house was raided at dawn by nine police officers to seek the names of public figures from casework she held in trust from young people from care is in court tomorrow to demand 1.9 million in damages from her landlord of her social enterprises New NAYPIC (National Association of Young People In Care)/ Youth Parliament trespassing her premises in 2008 effectively stoping her good work in setting up a youth parliament independent economy. Ms Moss was horrified by allegations of child abuse as a worker for NAYPIC in the 90's so in 2000 set up two independent art galleries www.scarletmaguire.com and www.spaceshift.com to fund her own business www.youthparliament.co.uk she saidthe galleries were a calm cover to make money to expose these people by gathering evidence and eventually taking one class action massive case for all the survivors.

However Ms Moss stumbled on more trouble in fighting her public landlord than she could believe!

Representing herself and yet undefeated as the landlord had powerful lawyers and more friends in high places in court than she could believe!

She has recently uncovered that the Master of the Rolls from 2009-2012 (whose sister in law Baroness Neuberger who was Chairperson of her landlord) was actively involved in her case as was the President of the Queen's Bench Division Sir Antony May!!

Channel 4 news have been given the evidence!

Ms Moss was due in court 1st May 13' after 5 years being held a prisoner of her own case and the wheels of justice turning oddly very slowly, that evidence may suggest why the hearing was suddenly cancelled!

They say she will be seen today (2nd May 13') at 10.45am, a public hearing in court 70.. She wants you all to be there to show that people who stop child abuse should not be stopped!!! See www.legalaidcuts.blogspot.com her blog on the continuing court story!

She says she will set up an independent economy and real Youth Parliament if she wins..

Be there and show that young people can organize for change instead of just rioting for it!! This is the time to show your face in support for 1.9 million pounds in damages, a court room full would show spirit, for the big people to stop messing with the little people.. It may be her only way of stopping more corruption today.. 2nd May 13 at the Strand! London High Court. More reporting of encouraging positive youth good action is needed just now and not just reporting celebrity youth in court for trouble

Best
Mary Moss ;-)

COURT 70 10.45am 2nd May 2013 The Strand

TrespassEd Case... It's also a case of wadding knee deep in sewage and my landlord and insurers getting away with it.. damages including actively preventing me from developing the youth economy that I was happily getting on with in my own businesses this loss of opportunity I am claiming 1.9 million for so they better not stop me especially now.. I am representing myself.. perhaps preparation for the next lot of public action sewage of child abuse cases, if I can win this one but I have been stopped for 3 years even getting into court.. including today 1st May.. so we shall see what tricks they have for me this time.. may merit and law simply prevail this is not the time for illegal judicial influences or leading me a merry dance;-)

Permission to file a respondent's notice

M I Bircham Dyson Bell LLP
respondent ('s solicitor) seek permission to appeal
the order(s)

Grounds for appeal or for upholding the order

X (the respondent)
appeal(s) the order [s/]wish(es) the appeal court to uphold the order on
different or additional grounds
because:-

Permission to appeal - grounds

1. The learned judge misdirected himself as to the extent of the landlord's liability in relation to damage caused to the demised premises by defects in areas retained by the landlord. He ought to have directed himself that on the facts of this case there was no such liability.

Additional or alternative grounds for upholding the order

Possession
1. The landlord was in any event entitled to possession of 104 Cromer Street WC1 on the ground that the landlord served a section 25 notice and no application was made for a new tenancy under Part II of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.

Liability
2. The learned judge did consider the issue of negligence and whether the landlord had taken reasonable care to prevent defects and damage arising from areas retained by the landlord and found that there was no failure to take reasonable care or that no case in that regard had been made out. If the learned judge failed to consider this issue as contended on behalf of the tenants, there were in any event no sufficient particulars and/or evidence to enable him to find that the tenants had proved a failure to take reasonable care.

3. Alternatively, if the learned judge did not consider the issue of negligence and whether the landlord had taken reasonable care to prevent defects and damage arising from areas retained by the landlord, he was right not to do so (and right to hold liability arose after notice and the expiry of a reasonable time to carry out repairs). Alternatively, to the extent he did not so hold, his decision should be upheld on the ground that any liability was subject to a requirement of prior notice and the expiry of a reasonable period following such notice on the facts of this case given, inter alia, the terms of the leases and the fact that the landlord's liability to residential tenants would only arise after notice and the expiry of a reasonable time to carry out repairs.

4. The agreed evidence of both parties' surveyors was that the defects caused by water ingress did not
prevent occupation and use of the premises and the learned judge was in any event right to hold that
the cesser of rent provision contained in clause 6.3 of the leases was not triggered.

5. Even if the cesser of rent provision was triggered the tenants had no cause of action for the return of the rent which they had paid and were not entitled to set off such sums or any part of them against
sums due to the landlord.
ZIA BHALOO QC

Arguments in support of grounds
My skeleton argument is:-will follow within 14 days of receiving the
appellant's skeleton arguments (ha ha that's like the day before the court case yeah right!!)

X (the respondent) will rely on the following arguments at the hearing of the appeal:-

What decision are you asking the appeal court to make?

X(the respondent) XX (is) asking that:-

the order(s) be set aside
the order(s) be varied and the following order(s) substituted :-

Paragraph 2 of the Order should be varied to read:

"The Claimants' claim for damages is dismissed"

Paragraph 5 of the Order should be varied to read:

"Judgment for the Defendant for mesne profits in relation to 106 in the
sum of £25,075.88 plus interest in the sum of £1,381.46 and continuing at
the same rate (daily rate) until payment."

a new trial be ordered (Are they joking 5 years in court and counting NO LETS NOT!! You just want to let us die waiting you are cruel lets just get this over and done with on 1st May for good, why the games is that the only way you can win because you are wrong.. ha games games games)

the appeal court makes the following additional orders :-

the appeal court upholds the order but for the following different or additional reasons

Possession
1. The landlord was in any event entitled to possession of 104 Cromer Street WC1 on the
ground that the landlord served a section 25 notice and no application was made for a
new tenancy under Part II of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.

Liability
2. The learned judge did consider the issue of negligence and whether the landlord had taken
reasonable care to prevent defects and damage arising from areas retained by the
landlord and found that there was no failure to take reasonable care or that no case in
that regard had been made out. If the learned judge failed to consider this issue as
contended on behalf of the tenants, there were in any event no sufficient particulars
and/or evidence to enable him to find that the tenants had proved a failure to take
reasonable care.

3. Alternatively, if the learned judge did not consider the issue of negligence and whether the
landlord had taken reasonable care to prevent defects and damage arising from areas
retained by the landlord, he was right not to do so (and right to hold liability arose after
notice and the expiry of a reasonable time to carry out repairs). Alternatively, to the
extent he did not so hold, his decision should be upheld on the ground that any liability
was subject to a requirement of prior notice and the expiry of a reasonable period
following such notice on the facts of this case given, inter alia, the terms of the leases and
the fact that the landlord's liability to residential tenants would only arise after notice and
the expiry of a reasonable time to carry out repairs

4. The agreed evidence of both parties' surveyors was that the defects caused by water
ingress did not prevent occupation and use of the premises and the learned judge was in
any event right to hold that the cesser of rent provision contained in clause 6.3 of the
leases was not triggered.

5. Even if the cesser of rent provision was triggered the tenants had no cause of action for
the return of the rent which they had paid and were not entitled to set off such sums or
any part of them against sums due to the landlord.

Section 9 Other applications
I wish to make an application for additional orders [3] in this section
in the Part 23 application
form (N244) attached

Part A
I apply (the respondent applies) for an order;(000000000001)00000004X that :-

(OUT OF TIME DO YOU GET THAT WELL UNLESS THEY HAVE FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES THIS IS RIDICULOUS WITH A HUGE LEGAL TEAM AND SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED.. THE CHEEK!!!!)
The Respondent has permission to file this Respondent's Notice out of time and
rely on the grounds set out at this Notice at the appeal
hearing, fixed to take place on 1st or 2nd May 2013
because:-

The Respondent was not in a position to file its Respondent's Notice or seek
permission to appeal within the time specified under Part 52(5)(b) of the Civil
Procedure Rules 1998 following the grant of permission to appeal, for the reasons
explained at this application

Part B
I (the respondent) wish(es) to rely on :
evidence in Part C witness statement (affidavit)

Part C
I (the respondent) wish(es) to rely on the following evidence in support of this application:-
The Appellants filed their Appellants's Notice and application for permission to
appeal in October 2010, within 21 days of the Order made. The Appellants also
applied for transcripts of the judgments appealed to be supplied at the public
expense. There were delays in the transcripts being procured and the Court granted
the Appellants permission to appeal on some grounds on 4 December 2012. The
Respondent's solicitors were served with notification that permission to appeal had
been granted on 5 December 2012.

The Respondent retained Counsel who dealt with the initial trial before His Honour
Judge Cowell in July and September 2010, to represent the Respondent in the appeal.
At the time that the Respondent's Notice and skeleton argument were due to be filed
(19 December 2012), Counsel was out of chambers. The Respondent notified the
Appellants and the Civil Appeals Office at the time to inform them of the
circumstances and to ask for an extension of time to file the Notice and skeleton
argument, in the event that it considered it was necessary to file the notice after
it had consulted with Counsel. The Civil Appeals Office informed the Respondent that
it should seek permission to file a Respondent's Notice when it subsequently filed a
Respondent's Notice. The filing of the Notice was subsequently delayed on Counsel's
return to chambers as she was then out of chambers for some time due to illness.
Given the passage of time since the conclusion of the original trial in September
2010 and the need to review transcripts of judgments made by His Honour Judge Cowell,
following the grant of permission, it was not possible for the Respondent to
formulate the ground of appeal for which permission is now sought and the alternative
grounds of appeal referred to at Section 6 of this notice by 19 December 2012.
Further, following a request in writing via email dated 14 December 2012, the
Respondent's solicitors received a copy of the Appeal Bundle which was before the
Court at the permission hearing from the Appellants' then advocate, Jan Luba QC, on
20 December 2012. (BLAH BLAH BLABBERY BLAH ARE YOU STILL WITH US)

Whilst the First Appellant initially objected to the Respondent's request for further
time to file its Respondent's Notice and skeleton argument in December 2012, she
subsequently sought further time by email on 19 December 2012 for the Appellants to
file and serve the Appellants' skeleton argument, to benefit from the assistance and
advice from the Bar Pro Bono Unit. The Respondent confirmed by email to the
Appellants and the Civil Appeals Office on 19 December 2012 that it had no objection
in principle but suggested that the directions remained sequential.

To date, the Appellants have yet to serve their skeleton argument and we understand
that the Bar Pro Bono Unit is no longer assisting the Appellants in relation to their
appeal. The Respondent has also been informed by email dated 2 April 2013 from the
First Appellant that she has also filed an application seeking to amend the grounds
of appeal before the court.

In those circumstances, the Respondent believes that no prejudice shall result to the
Appellants as a result of the late filing and service of the Respondent's Notice and
the application for permission to appeal, given that the contents of the bundles do
not require additional material to consider the Respondent's grounds.
Finally, the ground on which permission to appeal is sought formed part of the
submissions made to the trial Judge in the court below. Accordingly, the Respondent
avers that the Appellants shall not be prejudiced if permission to appeal is granted
out of time.

In all the circumstances, the Respondent respectfully requests that the Court grant
permission to file the Respondent's Notice out of time.

(OH GOD respectfully!!!)

WELL HERE IS MY REPLY...

TO THE COURTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! (just in case they do have friends in high places)

IN RESPONSE TO A RESPONDENTS NOTICE FILED BY MS McINTYRE FOR THE LANDLORD

Dear Civil Appeals Office,

The respondents were given full latitude to reply to Jan Luba QC’s representation at the permission to appeal hearing. They had a full team of legal representatives to advance any response to the grounds for permission to appeal and with respect they choose not to do so. That means that they are out of time to put in a respondence notice at this stage to appeal the permission to appeal grounds. Further at this time the claimant was represented and we believe that the grounds that were appealed and won stand now. The claimant in person asked at the permission to appeal to add further grounds and permission to do this was granted. The respondents through choice were confident that the permission to appeal hearing would fail given that they choose not to appear.

It is now for the courts to decide if the claimant in person’s further grounds can be simply added as she requested at the hearing once further advice, which she had not received by then, ordered by LJ Ward for her to get by LJ Ward could be considered by her.

Simply put she is appealing against a finding of Caveat Lessee and has provided evidence that she is not relying on a finding of Caveat Lessee for the issues of water ingresses, she is simply saying she was insured against water ingresses and not that she was put to any trouble by the installation of a glass pavement as Jan Luba QC rightly stated. The volunteer at the pro bono advised that it was a ground she must appeal after the advice was received and it had more that 50% chance of success in appealing this ground. She has now done so through a N244 notice, which is with the Deputy Master to be considered.

The other grounds of appeal backed by evidence are findings of fact with irrefutable evidence to show they were incorrect in that the claimant did ask for the structure to be fixed and the claimant says that there was no insurance in place at the time of defects as the landlord had broken the terms of the insurance and the respondent will have a copy of those grounds once the notice has been sent to them through the Civil Appeals Office as is procedure. We will be happy to respond to those individual points as pleaded in the further grounds for permission to appeal if the respondent disputes those individual points, to be helpful to the courts but we will not need to respond to the Grounds already granted as stated above because the respondents choose not to appear when given the chance and notice at the permission to appeal hearing. Therefore those grounds still stand and the respondent is with respect out of time. Except of course to argue those points at the appeal as they now have the same counsel back in place who is capable at that hearing to put the landlords point across at that hearing only and not through this notice before the hearing. With respect it is too late for that, lets get the issues back into court to be Judged by three judges in public.

On the few issues mentioned in this notice, the Section 25 Notice was dealt with at a hearing and it was decided by the judge that those were issues that could only be dealt with at the end of the trial, which has not finished yet.

We will be able to argue these issues in court at the appeal and have for the duration of the trial argued that the Section 25 Notice was served as an improper inducement as part of a harassment claim against the landlord, added to the grounds for appeal.

The liability issue that Counsel now wants to deal with through this notice and not at the appeal, with respect is underhand and as stated is a ground for appeal not to be argued behind the scenes. We have given reason and laws why we feel that absolute liability existed, with respect this cannot be dealt with at this late stage and behind the scenes with this notice and for that reason the notice should be refused as it would put the claimant to much work advancing her case before a long awaited for hearing and would not be judged in public with the help of an amicus to point towards the most current of authorities for these very important points of law.

The respondents notice should be dismissed as time wasting, vicious and a tactic from the respondents to divert from the real issues that we are happy to argue in court, in public and fairly armed. With respect any diversion from the already planned hearing will be seen as a sabotage and a trick to get some issues out of the hearing.

It is further noted that the respondent’s notice is verbose in the extreme and clutches at as many scenario’s as one could put in a notice to be as unhelpful to the courts as possible and should be seen as very bad conduct given the resources available to counsel at a full hearing in a month.

We look forward to hearing about the Amicus and will be filing our full skeleton once the further amended grounds are considered and the Amicus can assist with the legal parts to back our arguments.

Kind Regards

Ms Flores
