In the US the civil courts dole out rulings requiring the injured party be paid by the offender when enough evidence has been presented. It’s not perfect-money can’t right all wrongs and the valuations can be problematic-but it can act as a counterbalance. Making it a law would mean a company would risk losing their ability to continue as a business following a successful conviction. In the US this has been turned into rarely indicting companies as the government doesn’t want to destroy whole companies that way and give other companies undue market power, or something.
Feels like an area that could be handled better.
