Overview
- Ms Justice Denis Brett struck out the action after both sides told the court they had reached agreement, with no order as to costs.
- The five-day hearing ended on Friday following settlement talks during cross-examination, and the terms were not disclosed.
- Jackie Sexton fell about 20–25 feet from a second-storey window at Deebert House Hotel in Kilmallock on February 29, 2020, sustaining multiple fractures, a collapsed lung and a kidney infarction.
- In evidence, Sexton said she had been drinking, last recalled sitting on the windowsill smoking, and later learned from her husband—who found the window open—that she had fallen onto snowy concrete.
- Her lawsuit alleged negligence and lasting loss of earning capacity after lengthy rehabilitation, while the hotel denied liability and emphasized prior safety measures.
