464 Order for compensation

(1) This section applies if a court convicts a person of an offence against section 463 .

(2) The court may also make an order requiring the convicted person to pay to a stated person, within a stated period, an amount the court considers appropriate as compensation for loss or damage caused by the relevant listing.

(3) The person who is entitled to payment under the order may enforce the order by filing with a court of competent jurisdiction—

(a) a copy of the order, certified as a true copy by the registrar of the convicting court; and

(b) an affidavit stating the amount remaining unpaid.

(4) The order is then enforceable as if it were an order of the court in which the copy and affidavit are filed.
