Taking into account any pension or gratuity awarded to the injured person when assessing compensation.

Arabic original
مراعاة ما يكون قد تقرر للمضرور من معاش أو مكافأة عند تقدير التعويض. لا محل له ما لم يكن قد تقرر بصفة استثنائية بمثابة الضرر موضوع التعويض. عدم تحدي الزوجة بتقدير معاش بصفة استثنائية بمناسبة الضرر المطالب بالتعويض عنه. دفاعها المتعلق بذلك. غير منتج فلا يلزم الحكم تحقيقه.
