Motocross accident man entitled to rehearing of damages action

A cross-country motorbike racing enthusiast is entitled to a rehearing of his dismissed action for damages over an accident in which he was struck by a motorcycle coming behind him at a motocross practice event, the Court of Appeal has ruled.

In January 2017, the High Court dismissed Stephen Burke's action over injuries he said he received at a North Dublin Motocross (NDM) training event in Gormanstown, Co Meath, on January 19, 2014.
