Australian Capital Territory Current Acts

CRIMES (SENTENCING) ACT 2005 - SECT 111

To remove any doubt, the power to make a reparation order under a provision of this Act is additional to the court's other powers under this Act or any other territory law, including its power to make a reparation order under another provision of this Act or any other territory law.

Example

Stan broke into Alice's house and stole property belonging to Alice. None of the property was recovered. Stan is convicted of the theft of the property. The court may make reparation orders ordering Stan to pay Alice—

              •     the value of the stolen property (see s 20); and

              •     the costs of repairing the damage caused during the break-in (see s 19).
