RIGHT TO COMPENSATION FOR PARTICIPATION AND TO REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES
Any victim who takes part in the proceedings as a witness is entitled to be compensated for time spent and to be reimbursed for any expenses incurred as a result.
Compensation must be applied for in writing using the special form available from the courts.
Witnesses are entitled to between 7 and 13 euros in compensation for each trip to court. The exact amount is calculated on the basis of the distance travelled and the time spent on the journey.
