A restitution order is where the accused is ordered to make amends to a victim or the community. For example, if a person is convicted of fraud, then they can be ordered to pay all the money back to the victim.
Restitution orders are not just for fraud cases, they can be made in any situation where there is any damage. If an accused broke someone’s window, they will have to pay to repair it.
This is a type of court order and must be obeyed, and there can be penalties for ignoring it.
