• Johnson & Johnson secured a €58,000 reduction in a €944,000 High Court award to Mark Keane for injuries sustained in a 2018 workplace accident.
• The Court of Appeal reduced the payout to €886,000, citing prior €42,000 compensation for a 2014 road traffic incident and adjustments to future earnings calculations.
