Finn rules 1,225 € per tit, per feel, excessive
A district court judge in Finland has ruled that a twenty-something couple overcharged a 74-year-old man suffering from dementia when they billed him a total of 25,500 euros to fondle the woman's breasts on ten occasions. In the absence of official EU rules on fair market value per cup size (look for that one to be cleared up soon), the judge applied a reasonable man standard:
"Based on general life experience alone, it is indisputably clear that a 25,500 euro charge is disproportionate to the compensation in question," Judge Hasse Hakki, who heard the case, told Reuters Friday.
But he said the court in Kokkola, about 300 miles north of Helsinki, would not decide "the proper financial value of the compensation."
It's not clear what punishment the offenders are supposed to receive, but to say whether the ruling is reasonable or not we'd need to know more about how severe the old dirty bastard's dementia really was. It could well be a case of fraud if there was a serious problem with short-term mammaries.
