restitutionary redress

Read a random definition: substantive offense

A quick definition of restitutionary redress:

Restitutionary redress is a type of compensation given to someone who has been harmed or injured. It involves paying the injured person the full value of what they have lost, which may be more than what the person who caused the harm gained. This type of compensation is different from other types of remedies, such as equitable relief or money damages. Restitutionary redress is a way to punish the offender by making them pay for the harm they caused and making the injured person whole again.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Restitutionary redress is a form of compensation paid to someone who has been wronged, in the amount of the benefit gained by the wrongdoer.

Example: If someone steals $100 from you, and then is caught and ordered to pay restitutionary redress, they would have to pay you back the $100 they stole. This is different from punitive damages, which are meant to punish the wrongdoer rather than compensate the victim.

This example illustrates how restitutionary redress is a way to make the victim whole again by returning to them what was taken or lost. It is a form of compensation that is based on the actual harm done, rather than a punishment for the wrongdoer.
