A quick definition of penal redress:

Penal redress is a way to punish someone who has done something wrong by making them pay the full amount of money that the person they harmed lost. This is different from other types of punishment because it is focused on making the person who did wrong pay for the harm they caused. It is a way to make things right for the person who was hurt.

A more thorough explanation:

Penal redress is a form of punishment that requires the offender to compensate the victim for their loss. This compensation is meant to be a full value of the loss, which may exceed the benefit gained by the offender. It is a means of seeking relief or remedy for the victim.

  • If someone steals your car, penal redress would require them to compensate you for the full value of the car.
  • If someone causes damage to your property, penal redress would require them to pay for the full cost of repairs.

These examples illustrate how penal redress works. The offender is punished by having to pay for the full value of the loss they caused to the victim. This is meant to deter them from committing similar offenses in the future and to provide some form of justice for the victim.
