From the moment the Moroccan arrived at the establishment, the customer regularly referred to him as "Moor" and hurled racist insults at him in front of his colleagues and other customers. He notably ordered him to return to his country.

Even in the waiter’s absence, the defendant continued to speak about him using the same expressions. He had also insulted him in another establishment, in front of his friends, with the intention of humiliating him.

The Moroccan developed an anxiety disorder

This repeated situation had caused the waiter to experience stress accompanied by anxious and depressive symptoms. The disorders ceased after he filed his complaint and the abuse ended.

In court, the accused admitted to the facts. He had already paid 1,539 euros and committed to paying the remainder of the compensation at 150 euros per month.
