The Restitution Fund (Scotland) Order 2025
Where a restitution order is imposed on an individual under section 253A of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (“the 1995 Act”), all monies received by the court in payment of the order are to be paid to the Scottish Ministers under section 253B(1). The Scottish Ministers are then obliged under section 253B(2) to pay all monies so received into a fund to be known as the Restitution Fund (“the Fund”). The Restitution Fund (Scotland) Order 2021 (“the 2021 Order”) provided for the delegation of the establishment, maintenance and administration of the Fund to the Scottish Police Benevolent Fund.
