29As the Court has stated, those directives would be deprived of their effectiveness if, solely on the basis of the victim’s contribution to the occurrence of his injuries, national rules, established on the basis of general and abstract criteria, either denied the victim the right to be compensated by the compulsory motor vehicle insurance or limited such a right in a disproportionate manner (see, to that effect, Candolin and Others, paragraph 29). It is only in exceptional circumstances that the amount of the victim’s compensation may be limited on the basis of an assessment of his particular case (Candolin and Others, paragraph 30).
