Reyns Advocaten Sunrise Session: The rights of the victim in criminal proceedings – from criminal complaint to compensationGratis
Het team Strafrecht en Aansprakelijkheden van Reyns Advocaten organiseert een gratis ochtendseminarie over de rechten en mogelijkheden van slachtoffers van misdrijven.
Becoming the victim of a crime is often a profound and painful experience. Whereas victims used to have little voice, their position in criminal proceedings has now been significantly strengthened. During this seminar, you will receive a clear overview of how victims can concretely exercise their rights and what legal steps they can take before, during and after the criminal investigation.
What can you expect?
Na een warm onthaal met koffie en koffiekoeken, neemt ons team, onder leiding van mr. Tom Cielen en mr. Sarah Mondelaers, u mee in de complexe wereld van het strafrecht en de verschillende mogelijkheden en trajecten die slachtoffers kunnen doorlopen om de door hun geleden schade te verhalen.
During the seminar, the following topics will be covered, among others:
- How can you initiate a criminal investigation as a victim?
- What can you do during the ongoing investigation?
- What does the judicial procedure look like?
- What is the difference between the pre-trial chamber and the criminal court?
- How do you claim compensation and how is it assessed?
- When does my claim become time-barred?
- How does the victim compensation fund work and when does legal aid intervene?
Special attention will be given to:
- The new Indicative Table 2024
- The new limitation rules
Who is this session intended for?
An essential session for anyone who encounters victims of crime in their work – from insurance brokers to justice and care professionals – as well as for anyone with an interest in criminal law.
