Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the compensation order, list each component, the amount, whether it is personal injury or property, and whether anything has been paid. Do not decide that the civil claim is reduced.
- What the lawyer must review
- Decide whether any amount paid is brought to account, and how
- Do not treat the order as reducing later civil damages. The opened section does not say that.
- A State recovery from the offender is not money the victim has received
- Use a firm-controlled tool for health records. ASCR r 9, APP 11 and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) apply.

The work product
Forum. Penalties and Sentences Act 1992 (Qld) s 35, and collection of a court order
Produce. A component list of the order, with what has been paid. The lawyer decides the effect on the civil figures.
Have ready. The compensation order; Any record of payment or of a referral for collection; Section 35.
Example of the limit. Illustrative example: The order is $6,000 for personal injury and has been referred for collection. Nothing has been paid. The list shows $6,000 outstanding. It does not subtract $6,000 from the civil claim.
Stop and hand it back when
- The order does not separate injury from property.
- There is no record of what the victim has actually received.

Checklist
- Section 35(1)(c) is compensation for personal injury, including to a person who was not the victim of the offence. Subsections (1)(a) and (1)(b) are restitution and compensation for property. Keep them apart.
- The order may be in addition to any other sentence. The opened section does not say it reduces a later civil claim.
- The court-ordered payments page says a court may refer the order to the State Penalties Enforcement Registry to collect on behalf of the victim. Collection can be by instalments, and can be difficult. That page does not say the order reduces civil damages.
- The guide's offender-debt recovery is the State asking a convicted offender to repay the State. Do not enter that figure as money the victim has received.

If the order has been referred for collection, record whether any amount has actually been paid to the victim. An unpaid order is not a receipt.
Where there is more than one order, the court-ordered payments page says money collected is paid in the priority the court set.
Health information in the order stays in a firm-controlled tool. ASCR r 9 and APP 11 apply, and a breach may be notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
