The High Court has granted judgment of €82,000 against a plumbing firm for damage caused to a south Dublin home by a leak from a jacuzzi installed seven years earlier.

Mr Justice Anthony Barr found, on the balance of probabilities, that the leak was caused by inadequate tightening of the pipe connection at the time of installation in 2007.
