The High Court has dismissed an action in which a student sued her school after she was allegedly pushed by another student while descending a staircase and fell, sustaining a significant ankle injury.

She sued Leinster Senior College in Newbridge, Co Kildare, over the alleged incident on May 12, 2010. The student who allegedly pushed her was joined as a third party in the case by order.
