YOUTH JUSTICE ACT 1992 - SECT 156

Preference to be given to compensation and restitution

156 Preference to be given to compensation and restitution

If a court sentencing a child for an offence considers—

(a) that it is appropriate to make both of the orders that the child pay—
(i) an amount by way of compensation or restitution; and
(ii) an amount by way of fine; and
(b) that the child has insufficient resources to pay both amounts;
the court must give preference to ordering the child to pay only the compensation or restitution amount.
