A judge has approved a €25,000 settlement for a toddler who fell 10 feet onto concrete paving through a gap in glass panelling where one of the panels was missing.
Barrister Eavanna Fitzgerald told the Circuit Civil Court yesterday that, as Ewa Stecyk tried to unlock an entrance gate to a Dublin apartment building, her son, 19-month-old Alex Szabo, decided to peek through a glass-panelled barrier.
Ms Fitzgerald, who appeared with Maguire McClafferty Solicitors for Alex and Ms Stecyk, said the child and his mother were unaware that one of the large glass panels was missing.
“The boy walked through the space and fell three metres onto a concrete surface,” Ms Fitzgerald told Judge John O’Connor.
