VictimLinkBC - Victim Restitution

When a victim experiences a financial loss or damage, such as property damage, as a result of a crime, they have the right to have the court consider making a stand-alone restitution order at sentencing under section 738 or 739 of the Criminal Code.

Restitution may be ordered by the criminal court judge once an offender has been found guilty. The judge can order restitution in different ways - either as a condition of an offenders probation or conditional sentence, or as a stand-alone restitution order, enforceable by the victim in civil court if the restitution is not paid.
