Five Michael Jackson fans have won symbolic damages of one euro ($A1.55) each as a French court agreed they had suffered "emotional damage" from the pop star's death.

Played out in a court in the city of Orleans, in central France, 34 fans sued Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray, who was jailed in 2011 over the singer's death from an overdose, for the suffering they endured.

The court ruled that five of the plaintiffs - two from France, two from Switzerland and one from Belgium - had proven emotional suffering from Jackson's death.

"As far as I know this is the first time in the world that the notion of emotional damage in connection with a pop star has been recognised," said their lawyer, Emmanuel Ludot.

He hailed the plaintiffs for "going through with the process despite the sneers" it aroused.

He said they had proven their suffering "with the help of witness statements and medical certificates".
