Serial litigant gets 40k for chip slip

henryporter · 19-05-2017 06:33PM #1

Further to the earlier thread - a nice days earner. A whole annual salary for not watching where she was going. ‪ https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/courts/high-court/woman-who-slipped-on-chip-awarded-40-000-1.3089556?mode=amp&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter‬
I despair at the legal system in this country- solicitors aiding and abetting crooks are just crooks too

andekwarhola · 19-05-2017 06:39PM

I'm astounded that any chip in her immediate vicinity remained uneaten long enough for her to slip on.

Noveight · 19-05-2017 06:40PM

She claims a chip was allowed to remain on the floor of the food court and there was an alleged failure to warn her of the danger posed by the chip

This shíte just writes itself.

"Watch that chip over there Lina, he's shady as fúck"

Insurnace rates for every person in the country are sky rocketing because of silly bints like her who what someone to blame for their own stupidity.

40K is a nice little earner.
And 10K previously for another slip in Lidl.

She'll be dining out on this for awhile more.

bucketybuck · 19-05-2017 06:52PM

I saw the earlier thread and would have bet money that there was no way this bull**** would ever have won in court.

This country deserves everything it gets.

Costs were measured on the Circuit Court scale so the total costs won't be anything next or near that.

In restaurants with hidden table legs.

She's the Queens of compo culture but schure, her face was Kerrs Pink being snapped by the media.

Is it any Golden Wonder though? Just for the Record, I think serial claimers should get mashed in the courts and we shouldnt be classed as having a chip on our shoulder for hating her.

These people are a Blight on the nation.

shame on Justice Cross for falling for such utter nonsense - judges should be accountable for such stupidity

ah he just slipped up on this one.

Senna · 19-05-2017 06:59PM

She only won €10k last time, she probably knew to have a better excuse this time.

Also, for everyone of these cases that makes it to court, there are 10's of not 100's of cases settled out of court. My last employer had a case against him of a drunk woman who decided to walk up a very steep grass bank rather than taking the footpath, she fell, broke a bone and then put in a case that it happened on the dance floor. Load of people seen it and employer told insurance company that their was witnesses, but they still paid out about €15k.

Conor74 how much would the `Solicitors have got in `Legal fees and cost ?.

Could businesses legally refuse her admission on the grounds that they can't guarantee her safety due to her propensity to have expensive accidents?

Discrimination can only be based on gender, age, race etc

40 K is peanuts when you think a women who fell in Limerick gets 1 million euros.

Are Am Eye · 19-05-2017 07:53PM

It says that after the injury she could not clean or hoover in her house.
A fitting end to this story would be if somebody slipped on the rubbish which she could not clean up in her own house due to the ironic injury caused by the very rubbish which caused her own injury.

Donal55 · 19-05-2017 08:00PM

Judge found her a credable litigant??

Unfortunately she's not the silly bint. She made herself an easy 40k. It's the silly bints who award these payouts are causing our insurance to skyrocket.
