        "text": "Mr. JUSTICE GREEN\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nThe combined effect of section 5 \u2014 5\u20143 of the Unified Code of Corrections (Ill. Rev. Stat., 1978 Supp., ch. 38, par. 1005 \u2014 5\u20143) and section 5 \u2014 5\u20146 of that Code (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 38, par. 1005 \u2014 5\u20146) is to permit a trial court to order a convicted defendant to make restitution even though he was not sentenced to probation or conditional discharge. The latter section states, \u201cIf restitution is part of the disposition, the defendant shall\u201d do so \u201cin accordance with the following: (a) A pre-sentencing hearing shall be held to assess\u201d his \u201cfinancial capacity * * * to make restitution\u201d and to determine \u201cthe amount and conditions\u201d thereof. (Emphasis added.) The issue in this case is whether failure to hold the hearing is a jurisdictional defect which makes a restitution order void and subject to collateral attack at any time.\nDefendant Bradley W. Pitts was convicted in the circuit court of Clark County of several traffic offenses. A sentencing order entered on July 16,1979, ordered him to make restitution to a victim of those offenses in the sum of $250. On August 17,1979, more than 30 days from the entry of the order, he filed a petition to vacate the portion of the order requiring him to make restitution. He claimed that portion of the order was void. On October 1, 1979, the court denied the petition. He appeals claiming the trial court\u2019s failure to hold the required presentence hearing deprived the court of jurisdiction to order restitution, thus making that portion of the order subject to collateral attack.\nRather than filing a report of proceedings, defendant has filed a statement of facts agreed to by the State. It states that (1) defendant never requested a \u201cseparate or further hearing be held on the amount of damage suffered\u201d by the victim, and (2) the victim testified at trial that in his opinion the cost of repairing the damage caused by defendant would be approximately $270. The statement thus clearly indicates that no hearing as required by section 5 \u2014 5\u20146 was ever held. It also indicates that no evidence was ever received to determine defendant\u2019s \u201cfinancial capacity\u201d to provide the restitution.\nDefendant\u2019s position relies upon a theory that even a trial court of general jurisdiction has power to proceed in a proceeding provided for by statute only by following the terms of the statutory grant of power. His comprehensive brief cites many cases which have approved such a general statement. Among them are People ex rel. Scott v. Janson (1973), 10 Ill. App. 3d 787, 295 N.E.2d 140, rev\u2019d on other grounds (1974), 57 Ill. 2d 451, 312 N.E.2d 620, and United Mine Workers of America Union Hospital v. United Mine Workers of America District No. 50 (1971), 1 Ill. App. 3d 822, 275 N.E.2d 231, rev\u2019d on other grounds (1972), 52 Ill. 2d 496, 288 N.E.2d 455. The terms of article VI, section 9, of the Illinois Constitution of 1970 give the circuit court \u201coriginal jurisdiction of all justiciable matters * * The concept of its subject matter jurisdiction may be somewhat changed from that of a prior era. (See People v. Gilmore (1976), 63 Ill. 2d 23, 344 N.E.2d 456.) However, in ruling in a direct attack on an order of a circuit court dismissing a criminal charge against a defendant because he was incompetent, the appellate court in People v. Byrnes (1975), 34 Ill. App. 3d 983, 341 N.E.2d 729, spoke of the court as being without jurisdiction to enter the order of dismissal because of its lack of either a common law power or a statutory ground for doing so.\nRegardless of the extent to which a circuit court\u2019s subject matter jurisdiction is generally dependent upon following statutory procedures, we conclude that the court\u2019s jurisdiction to require restitution here was not dependent upon holding a presentence hearing although it may have been error to proceed without doing so. Section 5 \u2014 4\u20141 of the Unified Code of Corrections (Ill. Rev. Stat., 1978 Supp., ch. 38, par. 1005 \u2014 4\u20141) has always provided that after guilt has been determined \u201ca hearing shall be held to impose the sentence.\u201d (Emphasis added.) Despite the fact that there, as here, the statute says the hearing \u201cshall\u201d be held, the requirement has been deemed to be subject to waiver under certain circumstances. (People v. Barto (1976), 63 Ill. 2d 17, 344 N.E.2d 433; People v. Thomas (1976) , 37 Ill. App. 3d 55, 347 N.E.2d 264, revd in part on other grounds (1977) , 67 Ill. 2d 388, 367 N.E.2d 1281.) If holding of the hearing were a prerequisite to the court\u2019s having subject matter jurisdiction, then the holding of the hearing could not be waived. Spears v. Spears (1977), 52 Ill. App. 3d 695, 367 N.E.2d 1004.\nAnalogy can also be made to the cases of People v. Stufflebean (1979), 73 Ill. App. 3d 801, 392 N.E.2d 414, and People v. Dean (1977), 52 Ill. App. 3d 383, 367 N.E.2d 419. Section 5 \u2014 6\u20144(b) of the Unified Code of Corrections (Ill. Rev. Stat., 1978 Supp., ch. 38, par. 1005 \u2014 6\u20144(b)) provides that when a petition to revoke criminal probation is filed against a probationer who is incarcerated, the petition \u201cshall\u201d (emphasis added) be heard within 14 days. In Stufflebean the court affirmed an order of revocation entered against an incarcerated probationer after a tardy hearing. The court stated that the probationer\u2019s only remedy for the delay would have been to obtain a release from custody pending hearing after the expiration of the 14 days in custody. Likewise, in Dean failure to timely hold a hearing to revoke juvenile probation under section 5 \u2014 3(4) of the Juvenile Court Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 37, par. 705 \u2014 3(4)), which contained a similar 15-day time limitation when the respondent was incarcerated, was held not to deprive the trial court of jurisdiction.\nFor the reasons stated we affirm the trial court order denying the petition to vacate the portion of the order requiring the defendant to make restitution.\nAffirmed.\nWEBBER and CRAVEN, JJ, concur.",
