- DCPI527/2020
The claim was dismissed because objective CCTV evidence conclusively disproved the plaintiff’s pleaded account (no sudden braking and plaintiff slipped through his own inattention), the plaintiff failed to attend to prove his case and produced unconvincing sick leave evidence, and the solicitors acted improperly including directing the freelance interpreter not to attend contrary to court directions; these factors justified dismissal and an indemnity costs order against the plaintiff with a show‑cause direction to the principal solicitor to be personally liable for wasted costs.
