Cork solicitor who fell on pub's slippery decking awarded €105,000

Emma Morrison was left with an 8cm scar and continues to experience activity-related discomfort and pain which interferes with "her great love" of running

The court heard decking leading from the beer garden into the pub was very slippery and a number of others had slipped on it the evening Ms Morrison fell, coming down hard on her ankle. File picture

A solicitor who suffered a "nasty fracture" to her ankle when she fell on slippery decking in the beer garden of a Ballsbridge, Dublin, pub has been awarded €105,000 by the High Court.

Emma Morrison (43), originally from Cork but living in the Liberties, Dublin, sued the Madigan Group Trading Co Unlimited, operators of the Horseshow House, where the accident happened during a work-organised barbeque at the pub in June 2017.
