Petrol station chain Circle K has won an appeal relating to a pregnant woman who had been awarded damages after tripping and falling on the forecourt of one of their Dublin stations in 2016.

Last January, the High Court found in favour of Kristina Kandourova who claimed that she tripped over a concrete kerb on the forecourt of the Circle K station on Strand Road, Sandymount in Dublin in August 2016, and awarded her damages.
