Part 7 of the Sentencing Code sets out the existing financial orders and orders relating to property, which are available to the court upon sentencing. This includes fines, compensation orders, restitution orders, and deprivation orders. Furthermore, unlawful profit orders can be made under section 4 of the Prevention of Social Housing Fraud Act 2013, and slavery and trafficking reparation orders can be made under section 8 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. This Act adds a new Chapter (Chapter 5) into Part 7 of the Sentencing Code which empowers the Court to impose an IRO alongside a suspended sentence order.
