Disgorgement
(redirected from Disgorgement (law))

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Disgorgement
Stolen money that must be repaid to victims of theft, fraud, or some other financial crime. That is, when a person or business has made profits through illegal or unethical means, it must pay disgorgement plus interest to all victims in so far as it is possible. This is done to attempt to restore the status quo before the illegal or unethical actions were committed. The perpetrator must pay disgorgement over and above any punitive damages that have been assessed.
