Is a restitution order valid when the trial court found that the restitution order was wrong for the wrong reasons?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Loftis, 24 Cal.App.4th 1763, 30 Cal.Rptr.2d 196 (Cal. App. 1994):

Since the trial court was right for the wrong reasons, the restitution order should be affirmed because there is no chance that a different or lesser order [29 Cal.App.4th 1212] would be entered on remand. (Pena v. Toney (1979) 98 Cal.App.3d 534, 542, 160 Cal.Rptr. 4.)
