            (b)         injury, loss or damage resulting from—

                  (i)         any other offence that is to be taken into account specifically in the determination of sentence; or

                  (ii)         a course of conduct consisting of a series of criminal acts of the same or a similar character of which the offence for which sentence is to be imposed forms part.

        (2)         The prosecutor may refrain from furnishing the court with particulars of injury, loss or damage suffered by a person if the person has expressed a wish to that effect to the prosecutor.
