A High Court damages award to a hairdresser who banged her knee against the leg of a table while sitting down to dinner may have serious repercussions for hoteliers and restaurateurs.

Ms Justice Mary Faherty heard Annette O’Connor had been directed to a table in the Mullingar Park Hotel restaurant, had waited while the manager withdrew her chair, then sat down and injured her left knee as she pulled her chair in to the table.
