Notes of Decisions
Restitution is criminal sanction and not intended to be equivalent of civil award and, although defendant satisfied restitution ordered as part of sentence on conviction for theft involving unlawful obtainment of unemployment benefits, that determination did not collaterally estop plaintiff, administrator of Employment Division, from bringing civil action for recovery of unlawfully obtained benefits because issue resolved in criminal case was not same as issue to be resolved in civil case. Thorne v. Gay, 92 Or App 251, 758 P2d 380 (1988)
