    No, it means that she accepted that her consumption of 10 points contributed to the accident. She accepted that she was negligent also.

    Well if she acknowledged than then she should have packed up her stuff and fecked off home, wasting the courts time


    I stand corrected in may not have been 38K awarded.

    If she was a member of the club she couldn't have sued as she'd be suing herself. Luckily ;);) She wasn't a member

    Are I reading this bit right

    David Dodd, counsel for the club, told the court that Ms Duffy’s legal team had consented to the defence being amended to include a claim of alleged contributory negligence on the grounds of the number of pints consumed on the night.

    The club said "Well you've had 10 pints"
    And she said "Amend my defence to include the pub served me too much?"

    No. The other way around. The defence was amended on consent to include the defence that there was contributory negligence on her part.

    Her claim was for €38,000. In all the vitriol here and the outpouring of grief for those notable charities, insurance companies, with their armies of barristers, Solictors and detectives, does anyone know how much she got in the end?

    Is there anything redeeming about her? Anything at all?

    She agreed she drank 10 pints and the Judge said if it was proved she was a member (she recalls filling in the form) the case would fall, then she settles?

    Doubt she got anything near 38k

    My guess is she was politely told how much the other sides legal fee would be when she lost, and then settled for a big zero.

    Certainly what I hope happened

    No, but I don't believe that in anyway affects my qualification to give a critical analysis on the complexities of negligence in tort law. Compo culture, judges out of touch, garlic.

    What's with all the compo-claims threads lately?

    Can we not find something else to get outraged by?

    Anyone got a loan of ten pints worth, and point my in the direction of a pub carpark with a pothole. I'll pay you back, twice over.







    *disclaimer, I don't need a loan, or help finding potholes.

    Yeah, straight out of the Daily Mail school of journalism. Seemed to work though. A good lot believed that she actually got €38k and started sharpening their pitchforks.

    Clearly the money is better off in her pocket than providing amateur sports facilities for a community.

    What's wrong with you people?

    The insurance company were going to build a sports facility for a community?

    Where? When?

    And how much did she get and what facility was lost?

    Mr Dodd told Judge Linnane that Ms Duffy’s husband was an “absolute stalwart” of the club and his wife, who was also a member, frequently used it for social family occasions such as the birthday party she had arranged for her husband and other family functions.

    I would love to see them go back there now.

    Deserve all the abuse they hopefully get from their neighbours and those in their locality.

    I'm sure the club's premiums will plummet after the payout.

    Let's limit this to a short exchange, by the way. You seem to have lots of threads in which to go all interminable attack dog.
