Direct private victims, amount of compensation where claims exceed balance of account
 9. If the total amount of the compensation that would otherwise be paid to all the eligible direct private victim claimants under section 8 exceeds the balance available in the special purpose account, the amount of compensation shall be determined and paid as follows: 1. Compensation for pecuniary losses of direct private victim claimants who are individuals shall be determined first. 2. If the total amount that would otherwise be paid to all the eligible individual direct private victim claimants for pecuniary losses exceeds the balance available in the special purpose account, the amount that would otherwise be paid to each individual direct private victim claimant for pecuniary losses shall be reduced pro-rata in the proportion that the balance of the special purpose account bears to the total amount that would otherwise be paid to all the eligible individual direct private victim claimants for pecuniary losses. 3. If, in the adjudicator’s opinion, the payment for pecuniary losses to each individual direct private victim claimant would be too small to justify the administrative costs of paying them, the adjudicator may decline to pay any compensation under paragraph 1 or 2. 4. If there is any balance available in the special purpose account after compensation for the pecuniary losses of individual direct private victim claimants is determined under paragraph 1 or 2, compensation for pecuniary losses of direct private victim claimants who are not individuals shall be determined. 5. If the total of the amount that would otherwise be paid to all the eligible non-individual direct private victim claimants for pecuniary losses exceeds the balance available in the special purpose account after compensation for the pecuniary losses under paragraph 1 or 2 is paid, the amount that would otherwise be paid to each non-individual direct private victim claimant for pecuniary losses shall be reduced pro-rata in the proportion that the balance of the special purpose account bears to the total amount that would otherwise be paid to all the eligible non-individual direct private victim claimants for pecuniary losses. 6. If, in the adjudicator’s opinion, the payment for pecuniary losses to each non-individual direct private victim claimant would be too small to justify the administrative costs of paying them, the adjudicator may decline to pay any compensation under paragraph 4 or 5. 7. If there is any balance available in the special purpose account after compensation for the pecuniary losses is determined under paragraph 1, 2, 4 or 5, compensation for non-pecuniary losses of direct private victim claimants who are individuals shall be determined. 8. If the total amount that would otherwise be paid to all the eligible individual direct private victim claimants for non-pecuniary losses exceeds the balance available in the special purpose account, the amount that would otherwise be paid to each individual direct private victim claimant for non-pecuniary losses shall be reduced pro-rata in the proportion that the balance of the special purpose account bears to the total amount that would otherwise be paid to all the eligible individual direct private victim claimants for non-pecuniary losses. 9. If, in the adjudicator’s opinion, the payment for non-pecuniary losses to each individual direct private victim claimant would be too small to justify the administrative costs of paying them, the adjudicator may decline to pay any compensation under paragraph 7 or 8. 10. If there is any balance available in the special purpose account after compensation for the pecuniary and non-pecuniary losses is determined under paragraphs 1 to 8, compensation for non-pecuniary losses of direct private victim claimants who are not individuals shall be determined. 11. If the total of the amount that would otherwise be paid to all the eligible non-individual direct private victim claimants for non-pecuniary losses exceeds the balance available in the special purpose account after compensation for the pecuniary and non-pecuniary losses under paragraphs 1 to 10 is paid, the amount that would otherwise be paid to each non-individual direct private victim claimant for non-pecuniary losses shall be reduced pro-rata in the proportion that the balance of the special purpose account bears to the total amount that would otherwise be paid to all the eligible non-individual direct private victim claimants for non-pecuniary losses. 12. If, in the adjudicator’s opinion, the payment for non-pecuniary losses to each non-individual direct private victim claimant would be too small to justify the administrative costs of paying them, the adjudicator may decline to pay any compensation under paragraph 10 or 11.
