A DINER at the Stellenbosch-based Beyerskloof Wine Bar, who said she ingested a needle-like object which she claimed was in her hamburger, has won her damages claim against the establishment after the Western Cape High Court found the restaurant's breach of care was linked to her harm.

Maxine Williams blamed the wine bar for her ingesting the foreign object, and she claimed more than R750000 in damages against the establishment.

The restaurant, meanwhile, disputed that it was the cause of any danger.
