A woman who fell and suffered a serious leg injury while shopping in Arnott's department store at Henry Street, Dublin, has been awarded £90,500 damages and costs by the High Court.
Mrs Catherine Molloy (78), of Stanaway Road, Kimmage, Dublin, sued Arnotts plc following the fall on April 19th 1995. She suffered a major dislocation of her left femur. Mrs Molloy said that at the information desk her foot caught in something and she tripped.
Mr Justice Barr said he had no doubt an honest, truthful account of the accident had been given. He was also satisfied there was no sustainable evidence of contributory negligence.
