P-9.2.1 - Act to assist persons who are victims of criminal offences and to facilitate their recovery

Full text
33. A person who is a victim may either obtain financial assistance under this Title or bring a judicial application against any person responsible for the injury they suffer. The person may not receive both assistance under this Title and a sum awarded and collected for the same objects, sequelae or injuries. Any sum so awarded and collected, after deduction of the amounts incurred to obtain it, is deducted from the assistance paid under this Title or is reimbursed to the Minister.
The person who is a victim must, after bringing a judicial application, notify the Minister of any sum awarded, sum collected and amount incurred referred to in the first paragraph.
However, if the sum so awarded or so collected is less than the amount of financial assistance the person could have obtained under this Title, they may, to make up the difference, be granted financial assistance provided for in this Title by filing an application to that effect with the Minister within the year following the date of the judgment; if the criminal offence concerned involves violence suffered during childhood, sexual violence or spousal violence, the application may be filed at any time.
The person must notify the Minister under the second paragraph or file the application provided for in the third paragraph according to the conditions, standards and terms prescribed by a government regulation.
In addition, a person who is a victim who, after filing a qualification application, brings a judicial application against any person responsible for the injury they suffer must notify the Minister. The notice must be served on the Minister by a bailiff as soon as possible in the course of the proceeding, but at least 30 days before the case is ready for trial; the notice must be accompanied by all pleadings already filed in the record. The Minister may become a party to the proceeding without further formality and may file conclusions with the court, in which case the court must rule on them.
