The children fell through the sieve, stated the Constitutional Court. They were given new hope for the money that their mother deprived them of.
The Constitutional Court has given three children hope for compensation that their mother denied them. Previously stuck in a legal deadlock, the court annulled a decision by the Plzeň Regional Court, which had ruled against the children. The court emphasized the need for judges to seek fair solutions, criticizing the formalistic approach of the lower court. The children, aged seven to ten, lost their grandmother in a train accident, and their mother misappropriated the compensation funds. Due to her insolvency, the children were unable to claim their rightful compensation. The Constitutional Court ruled that the Regional Court should grant compensation directly in the criminal proceedings, allowing the children to pursue their claim after their mother's insolvency ends.
