The assize court ruling on appeal on the civil action may not, on the sole appeal of the accused, the civilly liable person or the civil party, aggravate the fate of the appellant.
The civil party may not, on appeal, make any new claim; however, it may request an increase in damages for loss suffered since the first decision. Even where no appeal has been lodged against the decision on the civil action, the victim who was constituted as a civil party in the first instance may exercise before the Assize Court ruling on the appeal the rights granted to the civil party until the close of the proceedings; he or she may also request the application of the provisions of this paragraph, as well as that of article 375.
