VII.   Law

Restitution is the formal process of the restoration of balance and compensation for losses on account of a proven injury, offence, wrong or claim.

The word Restitution comes from the Latin restitutum meaning "to replace, restore, rebuild, renew, give back, return, reinstate, quash, reverse or reform".

There are primarily two forms of Restitution being Perfected and Redressed:

(i) Perfected Restitution is the formal process of restitution to a final judgment with no appeal or need of judicial review; and

(ii) Redressed Restitution is the formal process of reissuing restitution in light of a defective judgment, poor judicial behaviour, miscarriage of justice or some other defect of law.
