Mero motu is a Latin term that means "on his mere motion." It refers to doing something voluntarily, without any suggestion or influence from another person. In the past, it was sometimes used in reference to a court, as an equivalent of "sua sponte" or "on its own motion. This contribution defines 'mero motu' orders as a possible means of punishment. Thereafter it examines the legislation providing for the issuance of such orders to determine whether it makes provision for mero motu compensation orders as part of a restorative justice sentence.
