    It's currently not an available option.

    However it WAS contained in one of the recent Law Reform reports about 2 years back.
    Whilst it would have an immediate impact upon a significant number of potential cases,It did not seem to gain much traction amongst the Legal fraternity,which surprises me greatly... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Some years ag i was knocked off my motorbike by a motorist [who did not see me] i was out cold don't remember the trip to hospital, lost a good part of my elbow, after nearly 3 years i was awarded 40.000 which for the type of injury i thought was a bit low,[think i had the wrong solicitor] a woman i know fell off a footpath in the main street and got 50.000 no injury just bruising recieved money within 6 months. it's a funny law when it comes to claims, but it has got out of hand .

    Even though the business “won” their case it’ll go down as a claim against them and you can be sure their insurance company will put on a major increase on their premium.

    the judge already has that option. in this case they decided not to exercise it for reasons that are not immediately clear.

    From reading the report it's because the couple aren't appealing the ruling. Great system were you can cost a company several thousand Euro to defend a BS claim and then walk away with no consequences.

    having settled their bill with a €19 voucher and €11 in cash.

    Voucher probably from a previous complaint.

    And therein lies the problem.
