The court may order that the offender—
make restitution of property—
in relation to which the offence was committed; or
taken in the course of, or in connection with, the commission of the offence; and
pay compensation to a person for any loss or destruction of, damage caused to, or unlawful interference with, property—
in relation to which the offence was committed; or
in the course of, or in connection with, the commission of the offence; and
pay compensation for personal injury suffered by a person (whether or not the person is the victim against whom the offence was committed) because of the commission of the offence.
An order may be made under subsection (1) in addition to any other sentence to which the offender is liable.
If an offence is taken into account under section 189 in imposing sentence on an offender for another offence, the court may make an order under subsection (1) .
If a court makes an order under subsection (1) because of subsection (3) , then, despite section 189 (8) , the offender has the same right of appeal as if the court had convicted the offender of the offence in relation to which the order was made.
