‘Cripple’ accused of ‘sham case’ withdraws injuries claim

A court claimant suing for injuries from a workplace accident and a car crash who was videoed moving freely after presenting as “a cripple” to a doctor, withdrew his case on the fifth day of the action at the High Court.

The plaintiff had been accused of mounting a sham case.

Before any evidence was given yesterday, Mr Justice Éamon de Valera arrived in the Cork court to be told that Tomasz Ewertowski’s case was over.
