With regard to the Circuit Court, the €50,000 limit should be increased to €100,000. The one year time limit to allow a person to make a claim for damages should be increased to three years. The question of lodgements in court is something which should be carefully examined. In cases where a lodgement is made and there is a denial of liability, if the court recognises there should have been an apology the lodgement should be set aside and should not affect the outcome in terms of the individual involved.
