Jordan fines municipality over student injury
The Jordanian Court of Cassation ruled to fine the Bani Sakhr Municipality an amount of 2,250 Jordanian dinars for the material damages suffered by a child who was bitten by a stray rabid dog while returning from school. The court excluded compensation for moral damages due to the absence of a permanent disability. The case began when the child was attacked and bitten by the dog, resulting in injuries and wounds to his hand and feet, requiring medical treatment and transportation costs. The court upheld a previous judgment after the child's family requested financial compensation for both material and psychological damages. The amount of compensation was set at 2,250 dinars after excluding moral damages, which the court rejected. It confirmed that the compensation covered medical expenses, transportation costs, and the period of disability, noting that the case had undergone various stages of appeals and remand.
