Photograph: Chris Radburn/PA WireRyanair had attempted to attach the mother of a 13-month-old baby as partly or wholly liable for a €60,000 damages claim against them after a child suffered an in-flight burn from a coffee spill, a court was told on Friday.

Ms Hanniffy, who appeared with Byrne Carolan Cunningham Solicitors for the child’s mother Emilia Sychta, said Hanna had suffered a burn injury to her shoulder following a coffee spill. “The mother had been served coffee and it was sitting on a tray and the child was asleep at the time,” she said. Ms Hanniffy told the court that Ryanair had claimed that the seats on the aircraft were rigid and non-reclining and that such a jolt as believed by the mother could not have happened.
