HAVE YOUR Court Rules Prostitute Must lie Compensated Reuter News Agency The LAUSANNE, Switzerland Swiss Supreme Court ruled Saturday that a Zurich court was wrong in denying a prostitute compensation for lost earnings after she was seriously injured in a car accident. It said prostitution might offend public morals but was not illegal. Because prostitutes pay tax and national insurance contributions on their earnings, they have the same rights as ordinary citizens, the court ruled. Following the 1971 accident, the unnamed Zurich woman, then age 27, demanded more than $1 million for medical costs, compensation and lost earnings until her 45th birthday. The lower court, which first tried her case, refused to recognize the lost earnings demand and awarded her $12,000 in damages.
