Personal injury claims taken by TV star’s husband dismissed

Two personal injury claims by James Jordan, husband of Dublin Wives television star Jo Jo Jordan, for damages totalling €120,000 have been thrown out by a judge.

Judge Rory MacCabe told the 6ft 4in, 19-stone Mr Jordan he did not accept his version of events, relating to an accident involving a 79-year-old woman and for which he claimed €60,000 damages.

In a second case, in which liability for negligent driving had already been conceded, Judge MacCabe threw out Mr Jordan’s €60,000 damages claim, because he failed to disclose to his doctors and to the Injuries Board that he was claiming for injury in a third and earlier accident.
