To award him full compensation for his loss of earnings - without making any deduction for saved living expenses - would leave him in "a better position" financially than he would have been in had he never been jailed.

Uh, who's Kafka?
Posted: 12:13 Mar 17 2004 He was actually Czech born in Prague and wrote in German. His stories practically predicted the problems that would occur during comunism and totalarianship, and are just as relevant now as they were back then.

Posted: 13:18 Mar 17 2004 Yeah, so i just saw. I knew he wrote in German, but my mistake about him being Austrian came from the fact that at the time, Prague was part of Austria-Hungary, and what i read failed to mention the distinction.
