## Key points

- A tarot reader is seeking £12.7 million from Vue.
- Vue admits liability but disputes the claim’s value.
- The trial is expected at the end of 2027.

## Summary

Tarot reader and actor Marcus Hunefalk-Franzen is suing Vue Cinemas for £12.7 million, saying a cinema seat collapsed beneath him in 2015 and left him with chronic pain and reduced senses. The case matters because Vue has admitted liability for the accident, but disputes the scale of the compensation now being claimed.

Court documents say bolts securing the seat were missing and that Hunefalk-Franzen fell into the seat in front. He says his injuries reduced his tarot-reading income and prevented acting work and business ventures he valued at millions; Vue argues the claim is inflated and points to earlier records of neck pain and chronic fatigue. The case, which has yet to reach trial, is now expected to be heard at the end of 2027.
