On the civil action
Considering that the offense of which K. and A. have been guilty entailed various prejudices
caused to B., in particular bodily, material, financial and moral;
Considering that the damages suffered deserve reparation;
Given that, however, the sum of 1,500,000 francs claimed by the victim as compensation is
excessive;
That it should be brought back to a fair proportion by ordering the defendants to pay her the
sum of one million francs (1000 000) as damages for all causes of prejudice;
Costs
Considering that the defendants succumb;
That it befits to condemn them to the costs of the proceedings;
FOR THESE REASONS
Ruling publicly, after all parties have been heard, in correctional matters and in first instance;
Declares K. and A guilty of assault and battery resulting in total incapacity for personal work for
thirty (30) days;
Grant them the benefit of extenuating circumstances;
In repression, sentences them to three (03) months of imprisonment and a hundred thousand
francs (100,000f) fine;
Declares admission the civil party action instituted by Lady B.;
Holds that it is partially founded;
Orders the accused K. and A to pay her the sum of one million francs (1,000,000) as damages;
Orders them, moreover, to pay the costs of the proceedings.
