3. I was convicted of the criminal liability of "wounding with intent" and the victim sued me for medical and other compensation through personal injury proceedings. Would it be possible to reduce the amount of compensation?

The amount of compensation payable may be reduced in a number of ways. For example, was the plaintiff the instigator in the wounding event? Has the defendant been ordered by the Court (in the relevant criminal case) to pay the plaintiff under a compensation order? If the answers are negative, the normal method of calculation of compensation applies and the amount of compensation is not reduced.
