86AA Court to ask if application for compensation order will be made
(1)If a court finds a person guilty of, or convicts a person of, an offence and evidence is presented in a proceeding for the offence that loss or destruction of, or damage to, property has occurred as a result of the offence, the court must ask the prosecution whether an application will be made for a compensation order under section 86 in respect of the loss, destruction or damage.
(2)To avoid doubt, a person is not prevented from making an application for a compensation order under section 86 merely because the court has not taken the action referred to in subsection (1).
