The Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal
In the matter of an application under the Scheme of Compensation for Personal Injuries Criminally Inflicted
Decision of a Single Member
Name of applicant: [ ]
Application number: 50208
Date of incident: [ ]
Date of receipt of application: [ ]
Decision outcome: No compensation payable due to the failure to give all reasonable assistance under Article 10 of the Scheme.
1. Mr. [ ] (‘the applicant’) has made a claim for compensation under the Scheme of Compensation for Personal Injuries Criminally Inflicted (‘the Scheme’).
2. In his application for compensation under the Scheme, received on [ ], the applicant (who was born on [ ]) outlined that he was assaulted at the [ ] Pub, in [ ] on [ ]. He describes how he was caught up while leaving the pub and was assaulted by an unidentified assailant. He states that he received blows to the head. He states that he received a fractured cheekbone, bruising and a black eye. He states that he later had a metal plate inserted in his jaw for this injury.
3. No medical report was submitted. The applicant claimed expenses amounting to €1,143.20, including a loss of earnings of €1,000. No information was supplied regarding any social welfare payments made to the applicant, although he confirmed in his application form that he had applied for benefits. No other vouchers were supplied.
4. The applicant states in his application form that proceedings were being taken against the public house. No further information regarding this case was supplied.
5. The Tribunal wrote to the applicant’s solicitor on [ ], seeking further information from the applicant and also confirmation by [ ] that he wished to proceed with the application. There was no response to this correspondence.
6. The applicant has not replied to correspondence in relation to his claim before the Tribunal. Therefore, I find that he has not given all reasonable assistance to the Tribunal as required under Article 10 of the Scheme, and I find that no compensation is payable to the applicant.
7. I therefore decline to make any award.
