A JUDGE has directed that the facts relating to a personal injuries claim by a taxi driver be forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions Claire Loftus for her consideration.
Judge James O’ Donohoe told Chris Nwachukwu of Brega Hamlet Lane, Balbriggan, Co Dublin, that he had misled solicitors and wasted the court’s time in his €60,000 damages claim for personal injuries arising from a traffic accident.
Barrister Shane English, counsel for the defendant Ms Katarina Paucova of Castlegate Way, Adamstown, Lucan, Dublin 22, told the Circuit Civil Court that all invoices submitted by Nwachukwu in relation to alleged expenses all pre-dated the accident.
Mr English, who appeared with Newman Solicitors, said Mr Nwachukwu had submitted invoices totalling €1,279 to the court in respect of physio he had received and a sensor replacement installed in his car.
Counsel said the receipts submitted by Mr Nwachukwu had been from dates before the accident involving Ms Paucova on October 10th 2015. The court heard Nwachukwu had been involved in a number of previous car crashes.
Mr English told the court that Nwachukwu had a total of four damages claims from car crashes and that two had pre-dated his claim against Ms Paucova.
He said the one currently before the court had been in relation to a side impact collision, yet Mr Nwachukwu had submitted receipts for a sensor replacement in his car.
Mr English asked Judge O’Donohoe to dismiss the case on the basis that Mr Nwachukwu had submitted false and misleading evidence to the court.
Barrister John Nolan, counsel for Nwachukwu, told Judge O’ Donohoe that he would not have taken on his client’s case had he been aware of the information that had come to light during the trial.
Judge O’Donohoe said Mr Nwachukwu had not appeared to understand the seriousness of his situation.
Dismissing the €60,000 claim Judge O’Donohoe told Nwachukwu he was awarding costs against him and was going to send details of his case to the Director of Public Prosecutions immediately.

According to a user from Nigeria, the name Nwachukwu is of African origin and means "Child of God"

It's first date of registration could be Dec 31st 2004...good till then.
-
Yeah but I thought every cars birthday was the 1st of the 1st ?
-
The vehicle licence expires on 26 /08/2019
-
Then they renew it.
There are wheelchair vehicles out there with unlimited years on their licences.Im pretty sure I saw a 19 year old Toyota Hiace going around.
To answer your question whatever date your car was first registered is the date they use.Think of it like a date of birth.
-

That's horses you're thinking of. Taxis birthdays are calculated as the anniversary of date of first registration of the motor car.

As if Johnny Sexton were not under enough pressure when lining up a kick for Ireland, two fans have taken separate personal injury legal actions after being struck by rugby balls at the Aviva stadium. The cases have been taken by female spectators, both of whom were hit in the head by balls kicked into the crowd by players.
One was struck during Ireland’s victory over New Zealand at the Dublin venue on November 17, 2018. The other was hit by a ball during Munster’s loss to Saracens in the European Champions Cup in the stadium on April 22 in 2017.

Who are they claiming.....Aviva,IRFU.....the player?
Absolutely ridiculous!!
-
Didn't hear the full story but apparently there's 6 claims against The Shelbourne because their revovling doors are the front go too fast and people have hurt themselves leaving the hotel oops
In a further twist, DCC won't let them change the doors because they're 'historical' or protected structures or something.
I'd say there'll be lawyers hanging around those doors next week handing out business cards to anyone leaving the building :P

There was a case that was withdrawn .A fells fell walking home from the pun sued SDCC but he could not get an engineers report to substanciate any negligence .But the Council brought up the fact that he was drunk at the time as a blood sample had been taken in hospital when he was admitted .The faller said he was not aware he was drunk and then tried to sue the pub for serving him drink that put his health in peril .Similar case was taken in the 60s and a judge ruled you were responsible for what you consume as long as you are aware of the effect .One of the legal side effects of this judgement is if somebody sells you drugs that kill you they cannot be charged with murder as you know drugs are bad for you and there are side effects .

Some people are just money-hungry and I don't understand the mentality. Life is an experience and sh1t happens. Sometimes it's nobody's fault.
I remember one time going for a haircut (as it happens) and I tripped over some tree roots sticking out of the pavement. I grazed my knee (sob, sob) but I got up, embarrassed, and keep going. It was my fault for not seeing them. Wasn't drunk either. I didn't think 'who can I sue for planting that tree there 60 years ago!'
(also, karma is a bitch and it'll get those chancers in the end)

A guy got €40k for slipping on a permanent Eircom manhole cover on the foothpath when it was raining. What about personal responsibility?
Mam always said "you will have no luck with that kind if money".

I still carry a tissue in my trouser pocket as me Ma was always telling me to do it....I don't know how many times over the years my kids have asked me for a tissue as my missus tells them to ask Da....but she still takes the piss out of me for carrying one...I know there's a lesson in there somewhere!!

Among the 1000 things I thank my mam for is that I still have all my teeth. She was obsessive about me brushing them. As the rest of the body slips slowly into decrepitude at least I have all 35 I was given.

When our political leaders are setting the trend for a claim culture it's understandable why people do it.look at the fine geal bitch who tried to claim against the hotel in Harcourt st

My 04 went to the knacker yard in Jan. So even an extra six months should mean it's off the road by now I think. Probably a bogey

Daly that car should be off the road next month.I'd say yer man is jumping through all the hoops to change vehicles.It's a Toyota so nothing unusual.You won't see many other car brands lasting that long...
Although it depends on the exact date it was first registered.So technically it could have been first registered later in 2004.Anyway nothing illegal.Just using the rules to his advantage.

We've a man in charge, or allegedly in charge, of our finances who has blown every cent of "our" National Reserve Pension Fund. Bailey is the focus of attention now they're all on holliers.....Noonan was a master at this sort of deflection. Reminds me of the fellas out causing mayhem when they decided there was a pusher living amongst them..........just worried there'd be any attention on themselves.......scapegoats and fall-guys.
