Appeal from a decision dismissing the appellant’s application for judicial review of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Appeals Panel’s decision that she should not receive criminal injuries compensation. The appellant, while playing in a public park, had been struck by a motorcycle causing her serious leg injuries. The panel refused an award of compensation on the grounds that it was not satisfied that there had been a deliberate attempt by the driver of the motorcycle to inflict injury on any person.
