A woman injured while at work was yesterday awarded over €19,000 in damages by a court.
Yesterday’s judgment, delivered by Mr Justice Anthony Ellul in the First Hall of the Civil Court, was limited to the quantum of damages. In a judgment delivered in 2006, the court had found Metalfit Co. Ltd responsible for the damages suffered by Tania Sammut in 1992.
The court heard that Ms Sammut was employed by the company as a machine operator and that she had suffered an eight per cent permanent disability. Mr Justice Ellul found that, on the basis of her injury and her salary, she was to be awarded €19,950 in damages.
