The High Court has awarded a former client of fugitive solicitor Michael Lynn €45,000 damages over his failure to process her claim over personal injuries allegedly suffered when she was dropped on the floor of a pub by a drunken football fan.
Florence Dunne (61), Fortlawn Avenue, Blanchardstown, Dublin, had sued Michael Lynn, who practised under the title of Capel Law Solicitors, for negligence in processing her claim. She claimed his failures led to her action becoming statute barred.
Yesterday, Mr Justice Iarfhlaith Ó Neill awarded Mrs Dunne €45,000 against Mr Lynn. Mr Lynn was not legally represented and did not attend yesterday’s brief hearing.
