A man who was disabled while on duty back in 1999 was this morning granted €323,405.83 in compensation.
Brian Micallef, then 23, was left 53 percent disabled when a large tyre he was inflating at work exploded.
Mr Micallef worked for Brian Tyre Services and Noel Gauci.
Responsibility for the accident had been decided by a court in 2003 but damages were established today by Mr Justice Giannino Caruana Demajo.
