What type of damages are awarded to defendants in restitution?

  1. Nominal Damages

  2. Compensatory Damages

  3. Punitive Damages

  4. Restitutionary Damages

The correct answer is: Restitutionary Damages

Restitutionary damages are awarded to defendants in order to remedy the harm or injury caused by their wrongful actions. Nominal damages are a small amount of money awarded when no actual harm has been suffered. Compensatory damages are awarded to the plaintiff as payment for the harm or loss suffered. Punitive damages are not awarded to defendants in restitution as they are meant to punish the defendant for intentional or reckless actions.
