Assignment Report

NOTE: This post is for a college assignment.

On 19 March, Justice Irvine in the Four Courts of Dublin oversaw a personal injuries case involving Mr Madajcazyk (56), a Polish National who has worked in construction in Ireland. His case was against Multi-Roofing Systems Limited, the company he had worked as a roofing and cladding worker from 2005-2010.

In High Court No 2, Mr Madajcazyk's case was examined for 45 minutes by Mr McDonnell, Counsel for the Plaintiff. During the case, it was revealed that Mr Madajcazyk's work involved heavy lifting, and mounting panels onto roofs. Over time, he began to suffer pains, and was eventually forced to leave his job. He visited his doctor who informed him that his injuries were most likely work related.

There was no manual training course or health and safety officer on site at the time. Mr Madajcazyk had completed a health and safety course at his own expense, and his request to appoint a Health and Safety officer on site was refused by the defendants.

The case is to be continued tomorrow. (20 March)
