Wrongful detention compensation simulator

β Beta version

This tool provides a first, structured assessment of the aggravating and mitigating factors relating to the moral and financial harm caused by wrongful detention (acquittal, dismissal, or termination of proceedings following imprisonment). It notably recalls the admissibility requirements (six-month time limit from the final decision) and helps identify the elements that should be documented: length of detention, family situation, violence suffered, health, loss of income, legal fees, and more. It does not replace tailored legal advice, but usefully prepares an initial consultation with the firm.
