Mr Curley was 16 years of age when he supervised the paintball game where 21-year-old Daniel Nolan shot himself in the eye. He has sued the paintball operators claiming Mr Curley instructed him to remove his protective goggles to clean them because they were fogging up. Counsel for Mr Nolan, Richard Kean SC told Mr Curley they were not blaming him for the accident as he was 16 years of age at the time. Counsel put to the witness he had told Mr Nolan to take his mask off and Mr Curley replied. “I didn’t.” Mr Curley said he “was shook” after the incident and did not have a conversation with Mr Nolan about masks.
