A woman has been awarded €75,000 in High Court damages after she slipped and broke her ankle when crossing a grassy embankment to leave a shopping centre car park.

Louise Byrne, aged 48, of Mulhuddart, Dublin, sued Ardenheath Company and Ardenheath Management Company, owners and operators of the Mountview Shopping Centre, Blanchardstown, Dublin.

The accident happened on December 20, 2012, after Ms Byrne, an information officer, had parked her car and was crossing the embankment which she claimed was slippery and dangerous.
