Dublin woman ‘dropped on head’ loses claim

A woman has lost a High Court action against a nightclub claiming it was negligent in admitting a drunk man who she said picked her up and dropped her on her head.

Tasha Fitzsimons, aged 27, claimed she was subjected to a few minutes of unwanted pestering by another patron, Andrew Kellet, who knew a sister of Ms Fitzsimons.

He grabbed her and threw her into the air when he slipped and fell, causing her to go over his shoulders and hit the floor hard, she claimed.
