Insurance court denied claim that criminal compensation exceeds civil damages when refusing tort claims.

The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's request to refuse a tort-based compensation claim on the grounds that the criminal defendant owed greater civil damages. The applicant argued that the existence of a larger criminal compensation should bar the tort claim, but the court found no legal basis for such a defense. Consequently, the court ruled that the insurance authority has no right to deny the tort claim based on the amount of criminal compensation awarded.
