High Court Action 2009   THE HIGH COURT ACTION TAKEN BY LIAM NORRIS AS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE LATE GRAHAM NORRIS WAS SETTLED  PRIOR TO HEARING FOLLOWING AN ADMISSION OF LIABILITY AND PAYMENT OF DAMAGES & EXPENSES BY THE DEFENDENTS STEPHEN KELLY LORRY DRIVER & MARY LANIGAN LORRY OWNER   IN JANUARY 2007 AT WATERFORD CIRCUIT COURT STEPHEN KELLY REFUSED TO ACCEPT OR ADMIT LIABILITY AND DEFENDED HIS POSITION BEFORE A JUDGE AND JURY. HE CONVINCED A JURY THAT HE WAS INNOCENT AND THAT HE WAS NOT TO BLAME FOR THE FATAL CRASH WHERE GRAHAM NORRIS LOST HIS LIFE.   THE JURY BELIEVED HIM AND HE WALKED AWAY FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT A FREE MAN AFTER NOT TELLING ONE WORD OF THE TRUTH TO THE COURT AND HAVING FITTED ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS HE WAS ASKED.  THE PROSECUTION CASE AGAINST MR.KELLY LET MANY QUESTIONS TO ANSWER   THE FAMILY OF THE LATE GRAHAM NORRIS WERE CERTAIN THAT GRAHAM GOT NO JUSTICE AND THEY TOOK HIGH COURT ACTION AT SERIOUS FINANCIAL RISK TO HAVE STEPHEN KELLY BROUGHT TO TASK AS THEY ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT HE WAS TO BLAME.    AS IT STANDS MR.KELLY HAS NOW EVADED JUSTICE AND RECEIVED NO PENALTY  FOR HIS ACTIONS, HE DENIED HE WAS  RESPONSIBLE AT THE CIRCUIT COURT BUT NOW FACED WITH HIGH COURT ACTION HE ADMITS HE IS RESPONSIBLE  FOR GRAHAMS DEATH.    IT OPENS THE DEBATE ABOUT THE CHARGE OF DANGEROUS DRIVING CAUSING DEATH BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THE HANDS OF A JURY THAT ARE SO OFFEN OPEN TO MANIPULATION BY A SLICK DEFENCE.   IN THIS SITUATION MR.KELLY WAS CLEARED BY A JURY IN PUBLIC BUT THEN ADMITS IN PRIVATE THROUGH HIS LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES HE WAS GUILTY CLEARLY THIS POINTS TO A PROBLEM.   THE NORRIS FAMILY WOULD LIKE TO THANK THEIR LEGAL TEAM ERNEST CANTILLON & ORLA PHELAN OF CANTILLON & CO SOLICITOR'S, CORK FOR THEIR DEDICATION AND PROFESSIONALISM IN THE CASE.
