MARIE DICKER

Now, I'm not one to judge, far from it, but this does smell a bit of erm... bullpoo:

Mother-of-three Marie Dicker (54), a department store supervisor, suffered a direct psychiatric injury as a result of the incident which led to the resurfacing of childhood claustrophobia she had suffered from, Mr Justice Anthony Barr said.

For real? She should'be gone for an exorcism too, just to be on the safe side

She's a clever girl. £25,000 for 4 minutes and 35 seconds of discomfort. Good business acumen and I salute her.

Four minutes? I'd understand a few hours but minutes? Ridiculous.

That judge needs a kick in the balls. Absolutely pathetic.

McPhee · 8 Oct 2016 at 11:21

Seems a bit over the top? Even if we assume the claim is genuine, these things happen. Lifts stop. How is the shopping centre responsible for her mental state? Bizarre.

I don't get why it is the most appropriate name!

G-MAN2004 · 8 Oct 2016 at 12:03

I don't understand the relevance of the name. :confused:

I'll have to give you that one, never heard of it up here in the proper part of the country.

However I have used the expression "Stop dicking around" many times.

Absolutely pathetic. Pandering to these morons just makes things worse for all of us.

To be honest there is probably a lot more to the story we can see.
I deal with compensation claims every day and we just don't hand out money unless there is a very good reason and proof.
