Ex-Lidl worker withdraws €300k injury claim after court sees video of her in the gym

Counsel for Lidl told the woman: 'You should not be on an invalidity pension no more than the man in the moon.'

A former Lidl worker who had sued the supermarket claiming she had injured her back at work has dramatically withdrawn her claim at the High Court after a video was shown of her doing vigorous exercise at a gym.

The video which was taken by private investigators for the supermarket chain showed Ewa Ledzinska this week running on the spot, swinging a kettlebell, lifting weights and stretching and doing burpees which includes squatting and jumping in a half-hour exercise session.
