Court rules MIBI does not have to compensate man injured in road accident 

The driver of the car told the occupants he had no insurance, and that he had no driver's licence and the car had no NCT and was not taxed.

A High Court ruling that the body which compensates victims of uninsured and untraced drivers is not liable for injuries sustained by a man in a road traffic accident has been upheld by the Court of Appeal.

Janvier Tumusabeyezu, a native of Rwanda with an address at Russell Square, Tallaght in Dublin was injured when the car he was a passenger in went off the road at a bad bend near Mullingar, Co Westmeath, and struck a ditch.
