Belfast Crown Court heard on Wednesday that compensation was paid to around 80 people by Moviehouse Cinema Limited – the parent company of the former Flicks restaurant at the Cityside complex, which was voluntary closed two days after the second outbreak emerged.
The payments ranged from £3,000 to £12,000.
The court heard that Flicks Restaurant was at the centre of two outbreaks of E. coli in 2012 – one in August which affected four people and a second outbreak detected in October where there were 141 confirmed cases.
