Restitution is when you’re recovering something outlaid, and it’s sort of the last stop for recovering. This is a compensatory damages situation – basically, this woman crashed her bike and then claimed that the city and construction firm was responsible for her injuries, her loss of motility, her loss of income and loss of future income, etc. – all compensasble – plus the province’s recovery for medical services.
