Not necessarily. It's not uncommon for criminal charges to be dismissed on the condition the accused pays restitution to the victim.
Restitution
No!! Wrong place, wrong time.
Penance and/or restitution
Restitution and restoration are possibilities.
The term for correcting a wrong that was done is "making amends" or "making restitution."
In New York, if the summons is not written correctly, it will dismissed. In your case, they had the wrong license number and wrong address written out so I guess 99.9% your case will be dismissed.
payment of some kind for a past wrong doing; or as in recent years, supposed wrong doings. Synonym, possibly reparation.
the answer that was given before is wrong because you can't LOL
Restitution is compensation for loss, damages or injury. The amount being equal to the loss, damage or injury. Punitive Damages go beyond compensation. They are "punishment" for the wrong doing. They are also used to deter the wrong doer from doing it again in the future. The amount is not limited.
"Case dismissed" means the same as any other time you hear it. Dismissed means that the case has no merit or means to go forward and that charges (in this case, the charge of bankruptcy) can not be proven or declared. The bankruptcy was not granted.
I would think no, you cannot make restitution you pay for committing a crime tax deductible, because then the person who did wrong and paid the restitution would benefit in whole or part for his/her crime. That wouldn't be just or fair, and the rest of society would be angry because it would make "crime pay". You can see how this wouldn't be right.
maybe but at a slim chance
