#### 130 Amount of compensation
(1) Where a person is liable under section 129 to compensate another person for a loss in relation to a transaction, the amount of the compensation is:
(a) if the first‑mentioned person has already been found by a court to be liable under section 129 to pay an amount or amounts to a person or persons in relation to the transaction—the amount of that loss less the amount, or the sum of the amounts, that the first‑mentioned person has been so found to be liable to pay; or
(b) in any other case—the amount of that loss.
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), the onus of establishing that the transaction in relation to which a person is liable to pay compensation is the same as the transaction in relation to which the person has already been found liable to pay an amount or amounts lies on that person.
