The High Court awarded Ana Coretchi €80,000 in general damages against Gordosek Ltd after finding the company negligent over a laser hair-removal treatment that left her with burns and scarring. The award was made solely against Gordosek, which had not filed a defence or responded to her legal team.

Coretchi told the court that the burning lasted three weeks and that skin discolouration persisted for 18 months. She said the injuries affected her modelling plans and made her uncomfortable showing or wearing tight clothing.
