- Section 85B covers pain and suffering, counselling, medical expenses and other expenses caused by the offence, where the court finds the person guilty or convicts them. It does not cover loss of or damage to property.
- The court may direct instalments, and that the balance becomes due if an instalment is missed. Record the instalment terms if the order states them.
- The opened section does not say a later civil claim is reduced by the order. List amounts paid and amounts outstanding separately.
- The order is made on the application of a person who suffered injury as a direct result. Record whether the civil claimant is that person.
