If an investigation and subsequent Court case looks like it might cost 15,000 euro (or more, cause the sky's the limit in Court), an Insurance company will happily settle for 10,000.
Even if there is clear evidence that the person claiming is negligent to a degree (like admitting their children were not wearing seatbelts, then making the claim because the child was "shaken") they will just pay out.

Another aspect that is ignored...the barrister for the claimant will be on the other side of the room tomorrow and the claimants barrister will be defending.

True.
Do you remember the Supermacs "slip" case where the claimant was recorded on cctv splashing water on the floor, and taking a few practice skids before "slipping and injuring" himself?
The Barrister defending Supermacs warned the claimants Barrister about the clear evidence just before the case was heard.

Read that alright. The first or second reply makes it sound like they are not going to get the money back.

I'd be livid. Mine ask if they can buy anything always. They know the rules. Also it's linked to a credit card with a limit of 1000 euro

Ita normal afaik in court cases that all such evidence held by the defence must be presented to the prosecution before the case is tried and vice versa?

Know of a mixed farm with two new tractors, new telehandler and a new digger in the yard in the last 4 years. Mix of dairy, beef and tillage. The story is 4 bachelors brothers and an unmarried sister all living at home all on the old age pension. €1200 a week in pensions arriving.

That’s the way it works at that level.
They all work through each other on different cases so there is no real case of “barrister Vs barrister”, they want cases resolved easy and quickly as possible. They don’t want to be sticking it to each other in court because next case they could be working together, so they see themselves as beyond that and work together.

The prosecution must disclose all its evidence to the defence before the trial, according to all the TV shows anyway.

My Father has let me off at the topping this year on the new Zetor. While I feel like this is some sort of way of showing he trusts me & the beginning of letting me start running the farm a bit more. I also think it's the most cunning way ever to get out of the boring job of topping :pac:

Had 20ish Americans over at the weekend too, most of the younger crowd were infatuated with the cows so I became cow tour guide & we went off wandering the fields while the boring adults were speaking! Was great to see most of the cows passed not a bit of heed on them

They did all the south last week before coming to us. Rented a bus & got him to drive them around down there! Enjoyed it immensely especially as the weather was perfect. Some had been here before & did the north so think that's why they went the opposite direction this time.

Most are Philadelphia, a few of the wives (My Great-Uncle had 5 sons in Philly) are from different states, I know one was definitely Texas. So suburban living, not city dwellers but close proximity.

A few yanks visited a farm i worked on back hone before for one night, they were in there 20s and they had never seen the stars clearly before from living in NYC there whole kives until then.
I took it for granted myself until i left Sydney for a spell recently to where we were often out in awe of the milky way at 4am on a saturday night, even in Adelaide a smaller city it felt like the country side in ways less light pollution and noise pollution and working late into the evenimgs and actually seeing a sunset and the moon rise with a blueish sky behind the palm trees. Altough these past few ventures out of sydney didnt work out were fairly costly financially and time wise i have no regrets really ive driven a fair stretch of the country and landed back to sydney just to meet lads heading home because they couldnt face leaving the big bucks for three months to get another year and in the end all theyve really seen is county bondi and very little of it outside the tea gardens at that.

didnt rightly read thru it yet but see you have to stay in that whole herd recording , bit of a waste of time i think

Parishlad

Dosed the cows and calves last night. Happy to get it done and out of the way. Got grass seed sown on a couple of acres around the home place on Monday. A neighbour came and rolled it for me last night. Drop of rain falling today will hopefully help get it going. Have a load of topping to do and some fertiliser to put out before the end of the week. Off work next week so i want to be able to relax and enjoy the time with the family.

2 fellas I liked listening to, Brendan Grace was a great laugh and Noel Whelan had a great way of talking and discussing, used to enjoy listening to him

Both died young as well, particularly Noel Whelan who was only 50 it seems

Just concluded my deal with the National Roads Authority yesterday after 15 years, I got paid alright in 2006 but the deal was based on getting four acres back '' if they didn't need it for the road' it was never fenced off so I have been using it ever since.
Yet they were insisting that I buy it back....no way so finally got the deeds of the four acres today
