Kernrechtsfrage
How far may cost coverage for further assistance under Art. 3(4) OHG extend?
Extrahierter Entscheid
The victim support office may cover additional medical, legal, and procedural costs when justified by the victim's overall personal circumstances, assessed broadly and not limited to strict necessity.
Extrahierte Begründung
The term 'personal circumstances' requires an overall assessment of the victim's needs, including financial situation, complexity of the facts and legal issues, scope of the claims, education level, and the offender's conduct. The word 'appropriate' allows a generous approach beyond mere necessity.
