Heading: Denial of due process as provided by Article I, sections 1, 10 and 20, of the Oregon Constitution

Text: Defendant also contends that the Oregon restitution statutes violate his due process rights asserted to be guaranteed by Article I, sections 1, 10 and 20, [7] of the Oregon Constitution because the statutes fail to provide adequate standards relating to evidence, discovery and notice. The applicability of Article I, section 1, is not apparent, and defendant makes no effort to explain it. Article I, section 10, guarantees injured persons a remedy in due course of law for their injuries; it is not a due process clause. [8] Cole v. Department of Revenue, 294 Or. 188, 191, 655 P.2d 171 (1982), and cases there cited. It is particularly ironic to see this guarantee of a remedy for injuries cited on behalf of a defendant against a sentence to pay restitution to his victim. Nor does defendant elaborate on his citation of Article I, section 20, which deals with equality of privileges and immunities. No claim of unequal sentencing practices is presented here. Cf. State v. Clark, 291 Or. 231, 630 P.2d 810 (1981).
