Dunnes Stores has lost an appeal against an €83,000 award of damages to a woman who slipped and fell in one of its stores.
The High Court had made the award to 60-year-old Doris Whelan who sued for injuries she claims she suffered after a fall on June 27, 2013, at the chain’s outlet at the Ashleaf Shopping Centre in Walkinstown, Dublin 12.
In a judgment delivered on Wednesday, Mr Justice Seamus Noonan dismissed Dunnes’s appeal in its entirety.
