Judge: Compo case was ‘a set-up from start to finish’

“This is a set-up from start to finish,” a judge said as he dismissed a compensation case taken by six people arising out of alleged injuries from a car crash in Macroom in 2009.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin awarded costs against them at Cork Circuit Court. “There was allegedly any number of people in the two vehicles and none of them knows how the accident happened or why it happened, and that various people were bleeding in the cars,” he said.

Assessor Liam Cotter examined the damage and said it was inconsistent with the cars having collided.
