The Court Ordered The Defendant To Pay Attorneys Fees

The Court of Appeals recently overturned the verdict of the lower court and ordered the defendant to pay attorney’s fees. The Court of First Instance had earlier, citing lack of evidence ruled in favor of the defendant. According to the case papers, the plaintiff accuses her ex-husband of transmitting herpes, a contagious disease, to her and to her son.

The court, after examining the evidence and documents by an expert, confirmed that the wife and son were infected with herpes but failed to determine the time of the infection, because the husband was not available for tests. The plaintiff, who has obtained the divorce after having given birth to her son, said the defendant, her ex-husband, was in the habit of illegal sexual relations and allegedly contracted the disease from one of those relationships which is incurable.

In his report, a forensic doctor concluded that the wife and son were infected with the herpes virus in the light of the available medical papers, but the date of the infection could not be determined because the husband was unavailable for a medical test.
