A woman sought a full refund of her joining fee from a dating agency in the small claims court after she claimed the agency failed to provide her with the service she had paid for. After joining the agency in October 2018 and paying a fee of €795, Ms McNevin claimed the offers she got of matches for dates were outside the Dublin area and she was not willing to travel to meet them. The basis of her claim was that before signing a contract, she met a representative from the dating agency and said she wished to meet men within the Dublin area. I just wanted to meet people in town [Dublin area],” Ms McNevin told Judge Dermot Dempsey. Ms McNevin said she paid two amounts - one of €200 and another of €595 to join the agency.
