Onder 6.30 Parket bij de Hoge Raad 22 december 2023

Een alinea uit Parket bij de Hoge Raad 22 december 2023, ECLI:NL:PHR:2023:1221.

“The Court reserves the right, more exactly the discretion, to afford or refuse compensation even when a loss of profit is fairly evident, such as in property cases. In those cases, it may choose to compensate that loss or it may refuse to speculate in the absence of evidence. Certainly, evidence for what a victim would have gained is normally difficult to produce. The problem is not that the judges speculate in respect of the equivalent for loss of profit, because the valuation inevitably involves a degree of estimation, but that they seem to operate on a pick-and-choose basis as to when or not to award it. Such a method does not guarantee that the system of reparation is effective.”
