On legal advice, many retailers now operate a “no challenge” policy towards suspected shoplifters. This has to change

This will drive down cost of insurance for business. Shifts the law away from business being overly responsible for minor injuries from little slips, trips and falls. It has been way out of line with European norms and put the cost of everything up for us all. Big change!

Really have to feel for retailers out there. If you are going to shop online, try to spend it on your local stores websites. Now more than ever we have to support Irish #ShopLocal

Fair play to the judge for calling out this attempted settlement by the insurer. Damages are meant to provide restitution, not punish the defendant. Does the insurer pick up the tab here? No, they pass it on in higher premiums. #InsuranceReform rte.ie/news/2020/1015/117180…
