€90k award for thumb injury after slip in Dublin bar

Mr Justice Anthony Barr said Sharon Kelly’s fall was captured on CCTV and he was satisfied there was liquid on the parquet flooring at the area where she slipped. The liquid, the judge said, may have come from the wet floor in the ladies’ toilet, or it may have been due to patrons spilling their drinks when coming from the bar.

“This area should have been monitored carefully throughout the evening and corrective action taken when drinks were spilled onto the floor,” the judge said.
