Salsa pupil’s injury case dismissed

A SALSA dancing class ended in a daze for one of the dancers who claimed she was injured when her dance instructor caught her on the hop and jerked her suddenly backwards.

Siobhán Hoskins of Bluebell, Bartlemy, Co Cork, brought a case to Cork Circuit Court yesterday suing the Vineyard Café Bar on Market Lane off Patrick Street, Cork, where the dance class was held.

Judge James O’Donoghue said the plaintiff was injured, she was not someone who exaggerated her evidence and while he sympathised with her, he had to dismiss the case as he ruled that Ms Hoskins had not proved any case for negligence against the owner of the premises.
