London tarot card reader sues Vue for £12.7m over 'catapult' cinema seat
Detailed summary
The fortune teller claims to have lost out on lucrative psychic business plans when the defective cinema chair collapsed in north London
A tarot card reader and actor who claims he was "catapulted" from a defective cinema seat in north London is suing Vue Entertainment for £12.7 million.
Marcus Hunefalk-Franzen, 60, alleges that he suffered severe "whiplash" when a chair collapsed beneath him during a visit to Islington’s Vue Cinema more than a decade ago.
He claims the incident has left him suffering from chronic neck and back pain, alongside an impaired sense of taste, smell, and hearing.
The case, which has still not reached trial 11 years after the initial incident, has seen the claimant's initial £50,000 valuation of the injury has snowballed into a multi-million-pound legal battle, The Telegraph reports.
