About this statute

Compensation for suffering is calculated under the rules in the damages act, but it is capped at 3,300 euros after certain deductions. For victims of sexual offences, the cap is 8,800 euros, or 15,000 euros if the victim was under 18 when the offence was committed. A basic deduction of 200 euro is made from compensation for the injured person in the same damage case. An applicant may get reasonable compensation for application costs if requested and if the legal-aid conditions are met; compensation is denied if the application is clearly unfounded.
