The Circuit Civil Court has been told that a claim against Dunnes Stores can be struck out.
Laura Staines (23), of Killinarden Heights, Tallaght, Co Dublin, claimed she slipped and fell in Dunnes Stores at The Square, Tallaght, in September 2009, injuring her back and her knee. The company said if she had slipped and fallen, it was on her two-year-old child’s vomit. In its defence, Dunnes said Ms Staines’s child had twice been ill in the premises and had vomited twiceStaff had already cleaned up but the child was again suddenly ill and Ms Staines slipped before the floor could be cleaned again.
