A psychologist had over-egged and exaggerated her personal injuries claim to such an extent that the Circuit Civil Court had no alternative but to dismiss her €60,000 damages claim against Trinity College Dublin, a judge has ruled.

Judge John Martin ordered Blessing Agbo, of Greenmount Park, Green Road, Newbridge, Co Kildare, a former psychology adult student at TCD, to pay the university’s legal fees in a case which he said she had totally flawed during her evidence.
