A woman left paralysed by her abusive partner will only get part of her compensation payout after a judge ruled she was partly to blame for her injuries.

The judge found that Aida, now 31, was at fault because she stayed at home with her partner on the night of August 24, 2013, despite being advised by police to leave.

But Aida's lawyers say she had no choice because by the time police arrived at the shared house it was too late to catch a train and friends and government shelters were unable to provide a place for the night.

She was later thrown out of a second-storey window and was found by police at 3.30am unconscious outside the front door with facial and leg injuries.

The court heard that Aida, who was 25 at the time, 'suffered regular violence from her partner, [but] which had not led to hospitalisation.'

'He had not assaulted her' earlier that night, the court was told.

Instead, police had been called to the property, in Le Mans, after the partner had assaulted a friend of the couple.

While at the home officers advised Aida to leave, but after she stayed she was attacked and the police called back by neighbours.

It was on that occasion that she was found laying outside.

The man was subsequently sentenced to 15 years in jail and Aida's case was referred to a government organisation which deals with compensation claims.

In June 2016 the commission set her compensation amount at €90,000 (£81,000) and Aida's lawyers requested that the payment be processed.

It was at that point that another judge stepped in and decided she was only entitled to part of the money. The final amount has yet to be decided.

Her legal team has appealed and an audience will be held with the Commission in May this year.
