6.—(1) The compensation and the costs awarded by a decree made under the Criminal Injuries Acts on an application under this Act in respect of an injury to property to which this Act applies shall be paid to the applicant or other person entitled thereto under such decree by the Minister for Finance in accordance with this Act. | |
(2) Whenever the Judge reports under section 15 of the Principal Act as applied by this Act that a person has suffered loss either by an injurious act to which this Act applies or by reason of any direct loss or damage to which this Act applies, the Minister for Finance may pay in accordance with this Act to such person such sum by way of compensation for such loss as the said Minister shall, having regard to the terms of such report, think proper but not exceeding the sum stated in such report to be the sum which would fairly compensate such person for such loss. | ||
(3) Wherever it was stated in a report made under section 15 of the Principal Act to the Minister for Finance before the passing of this Act that a person had suffered loss by a wrongful act to which that section applied and the said Minister made no payment to such person by way of compensation for such loss because of the provisions of paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of section 9 of the Principal Act or of sub-paragraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of sub-section (9) of section 15 of the Principal Act, it shall be lawful for the said Minister, if he so thinks proper, to pay in accordance with this Act to such person, at any time after the passing of this Act and notwithstanding the said provisions of the Principal Act, such sum by way of compensation for such loss as the said Minister shall, having regard to the terms of such report, think proper but not exceeding the sum stated in such report to be the sum which would fairly compensate such person for such loss. |
