Man settles action over fall on day of Santa Ponza trip

The High Court case against Cork City Council taken by a 59-year-old Cork man who was about to leave home for a holiday in Santa Ponza was settled out of court yesterday on undisclosed terms.

Tom Creed, senior counsel for William Busteed, told Mr Justice Daniel Herbert the plaintiff’s case had been settled and could be struck out.

Cork City Council senior counsel Liam Gaynor had claimed that the plaintiff was incapacitated prior to slipping on stairs at his apartment complex.
