Damage compensation after car accident

In the decision of 27.04.2017, Nr. II. ÚS 795/16, the Constitutional Court dealt with the question whether only the repair costs are to be compensated after an accident, or also the difference between the potential sale price of the vehicle before and after the accident.

The courts up to and including the Supreme Court have decided that only the first amount (repair costs) is to be compensated, but the price difference not. The Constitutional Court, however, has made a different decision. In its decision, the price difference is also to be compensated.
