Can a victim be ordered to pay restitution to the victim of a crime where the victim suffered indirect economic loss?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Sargent, 25 Cal.App.4th 766, 30 Cal.Rptr.2d 754 (Cal. App. 1994):

Appellate court cases have established that victim restitution may be ordered only in the case of a victim who has suffered economic loss as a direct result of the crime. (See People v. Franco (1993) 19 Cal.App.4th 175, 181-182, 23 Cal.Rptr.2d 475.) Indirect loss claims of a public agency are insufficient to support an order that restitution be paid directly to that agency. (See People v. Miller (1989) 216 Cal.App.3d 758, 265 Cal.Rptr. 77.) 3
