A woman who dislocated her ankle when she fell on stairs as she went to the toilet in her local pub has lost her claim for damages in the High Court. Antoinette Johnston was wearing stiletto heels when she tripped and fell at The Village Inn, Clondalkin. In his judgment, Mr Justice Kevin Cross said Ms Johnston (28) did not exaggerate her injuries and he accepted her account of how the accident happened. The pub denied the claims and pleaded Ms Johnston fell because the heel of her stiletto snapped. Ms Johnston did not exaggerate her injuries but the dispute was about liability, he said.
