Woman loses action for damages against pub but owners ordered to pay costs

A woman who suffered a leg fracture when she says she fell on an allegedly wet floor at her local pub yesterday lost her High Court action for damages.

But 47-year old Samantha Griffin won’t have to pay legal costs as the Judge awarded the costs of the four day action against the pub owners saying he took a very dim view that it was not disclosed the pub floor which was examined by engineers on both side for the case had been replaced during a renovation two years ago.
