Student awarded damages over store’s defamation
Jodie Hayes, aged 22, told the court that, in May 2013, she had been with friends at River Island store in the Ilac Shopping Centre, Dublin, when she was asked to leave the shop by security guard Wayne Mitchell.
She said that when she asked him why, Mr Mitchell had told her “you know why” and directed her out of the store. She was embarrassed in front of friends and other customers, she said.
