If someone is found guilty of breaking certain immigration laws, the court can make them pay money to the person they harmed. This is called reparation. The court can do this on top of any other punishment they give. The laws that this applies to are sections 63, 67, and 68. When the court decides about reparation, they follow rules set out in another law called the Sentencing Act 2002. This law explains how reparation should work and what the court needs to think about when deciding if someone should pay reparation.
