‘Injured’ worker withdraws case

A meat factory worker who told doctors he had very restricted movement and was in almost daily pain for six years after a workplace injury was shown on video yesterday lifting wooden pallets and smashing them to pieces with an axe.

Krysztof Falgowski of Ballylangley, Bandon, Co Cork, was at the High Court in Cork suing his former employer APB of Bandon, Co Cork, for an incident which he alleged caused him a back injury on February 17, 2009.

Liam Gaynor, defending, asked for a video recorded by Insurances and General Investigation Services, a private investigator, to be played in court.
