Compensation for material damage resulting from another person's death. Its condition. Proof that the deceased was supporting him continuously and permanently at the time of death and that the prospect of continued support was certain.

التعويض عن الضرر المادي نتيجة وفاة شخص آخر. شرطه. ثبوت أن المتوفي كان يعوله وقت وفاته على نحو مستمر ودائم وأن فرصة الاستمرار بالإعالة كانت محققة. مغادرة الوطن سعياً - ٦٩ - التزام للحصول على المال. لا تكفي بمجردها لقيام المصلحة المادية التي تسوغ المطالبة بالتعويض المادي بسبب الإعالة.
