Claims are genuinely a joke in this country.

Toddler awarded? More like mother got her money for Christmas presents sorted

Was there negligence by brown Thomas that caused this, like something dangerous, or did a toddler, who generally are known to be a bit unsteady, fall over of his own accord and hit the sleigh ?
I get hes got a scar and that sucks, but if there was something that BT actually did incorrectly that exacerbated this, I’d like to know….

regardless of the amount, the fact that minor scarring is considered a reason for compensation is a joke to begin with.

There should have be a waiver everyone needs to sign before seeing Santa so that your child is your responsibility, A Santa Clause.

And this is why we cannot have nice things. Because as soon as someone starts making an event, oh like say Christmas Market, they have to pay a billion in insurance fees, and so mostly they just don’t do it.

47k in damages surely has to mean that the kid sustained some seriois injuries? If it was just a bruise and a scratch it wouldn’t be awarder this much, right?

“Reid sued Arnotts through his mother Lyndsey Johnson who told Judge Michael Walsh in an affidavit that she was a solicitor in Synnott Lawline Solicitors”
Fucks sake.

I thought the injury board have guidelines to follow. I checked quickly and for a “moderate back injury” you’d be in the same value bracket as this. While all the child got was a scar? Under which bracket did this injury fall under

This is genuinely why there is nothing nice for children in this country anymore. Too many greedy cunts constantly at the ready to use their child as a payout. Who would want to take on the liability of any kind of activity when this is what’s waiting for them?

Absolute travesty. Mother looking to a quick bit of cash due to her own inability to look after her child. Gobshites like that are why we cant have nice things.
