Student 'misled court' to advance action for damages
A student who claimed he was assaulted by security staff at a nightclub for no reason "deliberately misled" the court in order to advance his action for damages a High Court judge ruled today.
In dismissing Alan Danagher's action against a Co Tipperary nightclub, Ms Justice Mary Irvine said that he was justifiably removed from the premises on St Stephen's Night 2005 and that staff there did not use unreasonable force. The judge added she was driven to the conclusion that the 22-year old had "overstated his injuries".
