* CatharsisFactor: In the US version, the Judge eventually gives both parties a good dressing down. It's pretty satisfying, particularly if you consider Rosie TheScrappy.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The ReasonYouSuckSpeech the judge at in the American remake gives to the parties involved. The speech in full:
-->"Last night, I went over the arguments we've heard in anticipation of a ruling. And I realize that when you boil it all down, somehow we've spent days debating whether or not a five-year-old boy was holding a bat when an adult struck him. Then I realized maybe it's not about that at all. It might have been just as easily about the New York State statute "neglect by parents due to inebriation or inattention."
-->Too bad it took the near death of a 17-year-old kid to tell us what it's actually about: Kindness, or the lack thereof, which we cannot adjudicate in this court. Still, I have a job to do.
-->Mr. Apostolou, I find you guilty of attempted assault of a minor in the third degree. I'm sentencing you to time served, the time you spent in custody at your arraignment, because I'm not sure sending you to Riker's Island will make you any more repentant than you are now.
-->Mr. and Mrs. Weschler, before you leave this courtroom gloating, you can expect a visit from Child Protective Services. If there is another incident of your son potentially being harmed or harming someone else, you will be held responsible. Now, if you don't mind, I have three cases on my docket, one involving the rape of a nine-year-old girl. So go home and count your damn blessings.
-->Now get out of my courtroom."

** From the American remake: The judge in the final episode. She makes an apt assessment of the situation and lets Rosie know that even though she wins this case, the judge still gives her a dressing-down, going as far as to make Rosie feel guilty by pointing out that while she was milking her son's abuse, far worse things have been going on in the world like the rape of a 9-year-old. He also makes it very clear to the parents that just because they ''won'' the case, that doesn't mean they're completely off the hook, deciding in his verdict to send Child Protective Services to their home and making it crystal-clear that the next time Hugo either hurts someone or is hurt, they can and '''will''' be held responsible to the full extent of the law.

* HarsherInHindsight: The scene where during his disastrous attempt to apologise to Gary and Rosie for said slap, Rosie confronting Harry on mistreating his wife can be uncomfortable to watch after it is revealed that Melissa George (who played Rosie) recently separated from her partner due to allegations of domestic abuse.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy:
** The slapper is an aggressive, {{Jerkass}} bigot and little much else.
** The parents of the slapee are ineffectual, indulgent and lawsuit-happy, and their non-parenting led to their kid becoming an out of control brat.
** And in the middle is the closest the audience will get to TheEveryman... except he's busy cheating on his wife with the teen-aged babysitter.
** Long story short, in response to the "Whose side are you on?" tagline, it's very easy to TakeAThirdOption and say "Neither!".
