The Victim Impact Statement and Statement on Restitution are an opportunity for victims of crime to tell the court how a crime has affected them emotionally, physically and financially, and to request restitution for actual loss or damage resulting from a crime. They are combined in a four page form:
You may submit a Victim Impact Statement or a Statement on Restitution or both.
Your completed Victim Impact Statement (VIS) and/or Statement on Restitution (SOR) must be received before the offender is sentenced so they can be considered by the judge.
- Victim Impact Statement (pages 1 & 2)
- Statement on Restitution (page 3)
- Information (page 4)
You may submit a Victim Impact Statement or a Statement on Restitution or both.
Your completed Victim Impact Statement (VIS) and/or Statement on Restitution (SOR) must be received before the offender is sentenced so they can be considered by the judge.
- Return your completed form(s) to the investigating police agency as quickly as possible.
- If you know that the accused has an upcoming court appearance, you should return the completed form(s) directly to the crown prosecutor’s office.
- You may submit additions to your Victim Impact Statement and/or Statement on Restitution up to the date the offender is sentenced.
