The State is set to pay compensation to a female fire officer who was allegedly injured while testing a wooden ladder in 2024.
Delivering her decision yesterday, High Court Judge Joan Charles granted a default judgment in favour of Melanie Valentine after the Office of the Attorney General failed to meet deadlines for filing a defence to her lawsuit.
Justice Charles ruled that the AG’s Office had not justified its request for a further extension or relief from the sanction.
