Damage suit against Cozy Restaurant dismissed in Thurmont
A $250000 damage suit against Cozy Restaurant in Thurmont was dismissed after a Clinton woman failed to link the fall on November 8, 1975 to the restaurant. Circuit Court Judge Samuel Barrick granted a directed verdict for the restaurant and its president Geral Freeze, finding no evidence of negligence or causation. The judge ruled the plaintiff had not shown adequate injuries or link to the premises. The case followed presentations by the plaintiff Delphine Macibonba and her attorney Terence Lapin, with defense attorney James Clapp noting uncertain cause of the fall. The ruling comes with another dismissal in Frederick County circuit court.
