Man hurt in crash has compo case adjourned

A 30-year-old man who was seriously injured in a crash after a high-speed car chase — in which two teenagers were killed seven years ago — will have to wait a little longer to find out if he is going to be compensated for his injuries.

John Heaphy, 30, with an address at Crestfield Downs, Glanmire, Co Cork, and previously of Blarney St, Cork, brought the case against the two drivers and the Motor Insurance Bureau of Ireland (MIBI).

Ms Justice Bronagh O’Hanlon said at the High Court, sitting in Cork, that she would adjourn the case for mention at the High Court in Dublin on October 31.
