Security van driver wins compensation from former employers
A security van driver who brought High Court proceedings against his former employers as a result of the post traumatic stress disorder and depression he suffered following a tiger kidnapping has been awarded €25,000 in damages.
Today the President of the High Court Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns held that James Eakins was entitled to damages as a result of his crew being asked to hand more than €1m to a work colleague whose wife had been taken hostage in Carlow in January 2007, while making a deliver to an ATM at a service station.
