Payment of compensation is made on the basis of the decision of the court that awarded it.

When the decision makes the compensation payable by the civil party, the compensation is ordered as an advance. Recovery of the amount of the compensation from the civil party is pursued at the behest of the accountants of the Directorate General of Public Finances by all legal means.
