Claim Aghainst Nightclub

robman60

I'm a recent, infrequent socialite in Dublin. I was on a night out recently, and I wanted to get a takeaway and after having paid I was kicked out (for no proper reason). I had already paid and had no reason to get kicked out, and I'm wondering if I'm best to bring the small claims procedure or sue under district court rules. All feedback appreciated. I stress I am not looking for advice, just for what people consider the appropriate response as I was wronged in this scenario.

You’d need proof you had paid, and proof you were unfairly ejected before getting your goods.

I fully expect this will come to nothing and you need to build a bridge.

Nightclubs do food????

Were you drunk and causing a nuisance.

If not request under freedom of information any electronic data they hold on you at a given time on CCTV.

Its up to you then to prove you acted accordingly.

Go home, have a sleep and realise this thread was an awful idea.

You're best sobering up and getting on with it. Are you actually going to stand up in court in a dispute over the price of a batter sausage and chips?? You'd spend more in bus fare getting in and out of the court.

I advise you to grow up and stop being a snowflake.

Get over it.

Done.

Still going to give them a call though as I was waiting for food and not bothering anyone so have no idea what they thought I did.

Sorry were you kicked out of the nightclub or takeaway?

Not that it bloody well matters. Get over it- what are you going to do? Take a small claim for what €7-8.00?

Really? Yes you are annoyed and indignant but **** happens.

Save your energy for something that really matters.

In my head events went like this

Bartender :What you having Pal
Rob : I will have a curry Chip and a breast in a bun please
Bartender :Its a nightclub not super-macs pal
Rob :I am not your pal and I am not accustomed to repeating myself , post haste with my Curry Chip sir [flings some coins across the bar at the bartender].
Bartender: Listen if you don't want a drink you will have to move from the bar.
Rob : What about curry chip post haste are you not understanding
Bartender: Security please show this man to the nearest supermacs .
Rob : I will have my curry chip in this life or the next ! Expect correspondence from my Lawyer .

"I'm a recent, infrequent socialite in Dublin."

*Shudders*

I guess "proper" is subjective. You were removed from a nightclub/takeaway for some reason, you may not agree with that reason, but that's another story. Do you have any sober witnesses? Intoxicated witnesses may not be very helpful.

How much did you spend on your food? It's not right to lose your money, but I would think really hard about how you behaved on the premises. Going to court is probably the last step you should be taking. Have a chat with the a manager first, if that doesn't work out and it's a chain, then contact their HQ. Go through social media, but again, that could all back fire depending on your behavior and what CCTV shows

Partyguinness (PG): Welcome OP. I am a solicitor and partner here with HotShot Lawyers. So what can I do for you today?

OP: Yes, well. I was up from the country last week in the big smoke and went to Coppers. No luck with the ladies as it was a Thursday night and all the nurses won't be out until Monday. But anyway after a load of pints I took the next logical step and went hunting for a bite to eat. Sure you know yourself.

PG: Yes. Indeed we have all been there.

OP: So anyway, I located a fast food establishment and decided to part with my hard earned money and ordered battered sausage meal deal for €7.99. And than out of nowhere I was blind sided by a bouncer who kicked me out for no reason whatsoever and without my MealDeal.

PG: And....

OP: Well I am very annoyed I want to know what my rights are or what I can do. Can I take a claim against the chipper for the embarrassment and the loss of my €7.99.

PG: So did you suffer any injuries? Were you assaulted?

OP: No but I am so flaming mad about the way I was treated.

PG: (thinking about the complete edjit and waste of time this is)

Well certainly Mr OP. There has been a blatant disregard shown for your safety and constitutional rights. I will get straight on it but I would ask for a down payment of €200.00 plus VAT to get the ball rolling.

OP: [Makes card payment]

PG: That's great. We will be in touch. Bye.
________
PG to Secretary: Send him a receipted invoice for €200.00 plus VAT and bury it.

For some reason this springs to mind here.... (Sorry, it's not Youtube so I can't insert it.)

The cost of the small claims court is not recoverable and you can't build it into costs.

It is probably more than than the cost of a takeaway.

Legal discussion here?

robman60

Can a mod just close this please? As if the time of post wasn't clear enough I was not sober when I posted this.

For anyone still curious I was waiting for food, standing beside the wall when I was pulled out as a crowd was developing. I got punched in the stomach by the bouncer and wasn't allowed get my food or tell my friend that I had been kicked out. I was annoyed at the time, I'm over it and wouldn't have posted this sober, needless to say.

Needs Must

Eh, we all recognised it was the posting of someone who was the worse for wear. And it wasn't just the time that gave it away, if you know what I mean.

hullaballoo

Sorry for your troubles OP. If you were assaulted though, I wouldn't be letting that go.

Thread closed as there's not much in the way of legal discussion to be had here.
