Under section 302A a procurator fiscal is permitted to issue a compensation offer to an alleged offender where it seems that a relevant offence has been committed. A relevant offence is defined in section 302A(13) as an offence which can be tried summarily and for which, on conviction, a court could competently have made a compensation order under section 249 of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995.
In accordance with section 302A(8) of the 1995 Act, article 2 of this Order prescribes the maximum amount of a compensation offer which a procurator fiscal may issue to an alleged offender. That amount is set at £5,000.
