The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is committed to delivering justice for victims of crime, and where appropriate this includes obtaining compensation orders. Section 134 of the Sentencing Act 2020 sets out that compensation orders are available to the court when an offender is convicted of an offence. HM Courts and Tribunal Service is responsible for the enforcement of any compensation order made. The CPS has produced publicly available guidance which states that all CPS prosecutors should be ready to assist the court to reach the appropriate decision as to sentence, which includes drawing the court's attention to its obligation to consider compensation, inviting them to make such an order where appropriate and providing information in order to assess an appropriate award. Where a case relates to acquisitive crime, the matter will be dealt with by the Proceeds of Crime Division who will seek a Confiscation Order and, where there are identifiable victims, will also seek a compensation order. £118m out of £530m received in payment of confiscation orders over the last five years have been returned to victims by way of compensation.
