[1] This is a civil bill appeal from the decision of Mr Aidan Canavan sitting
as a Deputy County Court Judge at Lisburn County Court on 8 March 2004 in
which he awarded the plaintiff £4,000 damages with the decree to be against
M & P Bradley (Bradleys) and dismissed the civil bill against the Department
for Regional Development (the DRD). There is no dispute about quantum.
The plaintiff’s claim arose out of injuries he received when he tripped after
leaving his house in Poleglass on 1 February 2000 at 5.20 am to go to work.
He alleges that he tripped because some 20 streetlights were out in the cul-de-
sac where he lives and in the surrounding area.
