← 🇳🇱 Tweede Kamer/AMENDEMENTnl-doc-09eeee8d-2173-45b2-8582-f881696e1299

Wijziging van het Burgerlijk Wetboek, het Wetboek van Strafvordering en het Wetboek van Strafrecht teneinde de vergoeding van affectieschade mogelijk te maken en het verhaal daarvan alsmede het verhaal van verplaatste schade door derden in het strafproces te bevorderen

Stage submittedUpdated 5mo ago

This amendment proposes changes to the Dutch Civil, Criminal, and Criminal Procedure Codes to allow victims to claim compensation for emotional distress (affectieschade). It aims to make it easier for victims and their loved ones to recover these damages and other shifted losses directly through the criminal justice process. This change primarily affects victims of crimes and their family members, providing them with a more streamlined legal path to seek financial redress for non-material suffering without needing a separate civil lawsuit.
