32As 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 insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles or limited such a right in a disproportionate manner. It is, therefore, only in exceptional circumstances that that right may be limited on the basis of an assessment of a particular case (Ambrósio Lavrador and Olival Ferreira Bonifácio, paragraph 29).
