Another ridiculous personal injury claim rejected by judge!

A 33-year-old airport worker, who tripped over a centuries-old “jostle stone” after exiting a pub in Dublin’s Temple Bar, has lost a €60,000 personal injuries claim against the pub and the city council and will have to pay the legal costs of both defendants.

How she could claim her jostle stones are invisible is beyond me!

Yowzers! I'd say the photo will overshadow discussion of the case.

She looks amazing in fairness.

It's one photo at that high selfie angle with sunglasses on.
Her other photos are far from flattering. Especially the duck face ones!
But perhaps I'm judging her on the type of person she is, one that can't take more than a few steps without taking a selfie rather than her looks.

I hope Emirates are looking for "passenger service agents". Ryanair wage won't pay those legal expenses.

Ah now, the other photos are hardly unflattering - and in the photo above, it's hardly just the angle and sunglasses that make her look good. But yeah there are strange moments chosen for bikini shots all right!

So this stone she fell over, has been there 100s of years and she tried to sue the pub and council?

It's great the judge threw it out and she has to pay the costs. Any idea what they may be?

Yes it's protected so illegal for the pub to remove it.

stone obviously didnt like her and hid to trip her up

I want to know what were the four drinks she and her friends had (the friends that managed to circumnavigate said stone)
Thank god the judge threw it out and awarded all costs against her but we all know she won't pay a penny

Maybe she should have sued the stone? This is after hours....

Hopefully the pub at least will go after her. Why should they be left out of pocket?

Stone should have sued her for kicking him! He was just standing there where he has lived for hundreds of years! This drunk one flung herself over him! He hasn't been the same since! :mad:

The pub seems to know about stones so will know you can't get blood from one.
Unless she is wealthy they won't be getting much from her.

She still can. Never give up. Leave no stone unturned.

Delighted SOME judges are willing to call people out on this type of BS !!!

Just to play devils advocate on this; are historical/listed items exempt from the law?

Saw this story alright and the photo of the stone.

Only thing I could thing of that could be done is some form of protective guard around it. But if you get drunk and aren't watching where you are going it's your own fault. There's kerbs and cobblestones all over Temple Bar.

The first question her solicitor should have asked her was "Are you serious?"

Ah the face of compo ireland. Here's hoping a hefty legal bill is coming her way.

Rob Keogh certainly seems to like that picture anyway....

Im sure he didn't imagine that his comment would be posted onto boards in the future ha ha.

Because theres been plenty who have tried and been successful in the past.

Well done to the judge, why cant this happen more often (cases being thrown out with costs being paid by the scammer).

CrankyHaus

I'd say she was just unlucky in the Judge she got.

Jacqueline Linnane is a no nonsense type who won't do any special favours for attractive young women.

In contrast most of the old men on the bench would be falling over themselves to help out a damsel in distress like this. Probably worth rolling the dice on appeal.

If only medical science could find the genes for some people's hard necks and apply that to the whole body, there would never be major injuries again.

Boggles

Fair play to the judge, the insurance should allow them to cast judgement on more cases on not be so quick to settle on the steps of the court house.

nthclare

This is the equivalent of catching a great wave in surfing and getting tombstoned.

Poor girl probably was riding the ultimate wave, hit a lumpy spot and wipe out....

afkasurfjunkie

What were her ‘injuries’? As my dad would say ‘she’ll never fall on her face anyway’.

Idbatterim

If she has enough money to drink in temple bar, she doesn’t need any more !

That's the problem, the legal profession are quite happy to take on these ridiculous cases.

And of course the Law Society defend this claiming they don't accept bogus cases (they obviously have a different definition) and try deflect by blaming the insurance companies.

Probably didn't, but based on precedent probably realised that in Ireland you can take a free go with a half assed case and still have a good chance of getting a nice windfall

"Minor in the extreme" as per the story...she was chancing her not really badly bruised arm..

Has long-tonged Rob got any €€€? Maybe a harassment case against him is the way out of this mess for her.

Deep insecurity and sticking it to the man after allowing herself to get knocked up.

Great to see a judge have a bit of cop on and not award her a cent.


Those jostle stones arent exactly invisible. She might look where she's going in future.

And crucially, she has to pay costs. That’s the important part. That will serve as the real deterrent.

Sure she is.

(Oh those kinds of comments from internet studs are gas).

She was a sneaky, self entitled opportunist and thankfully it backfired. She does take bikini selfies with bizarre reason. But that doesn't change that she has an awesome figure and is far from plain.

Her facebook profile is hilarious, just one selfie after another with her tits out.

I was checking for research purposes only ........ for an article I'm doing :cool:

She's going to be a mogel and marry a foot baller.

Mark my words she's going to be a mogel, they're all on tinder too mogels

If she can afford to pay for holidays to Jumierah, she can afford to pay Kehoe's legal costs....
