§ 5523. Restitution. A court reversing or modifying a final judgment or order or affirming such a reversal or modification may order restitution of property or rights lost by the judgment or order, except that where the title of a purchaser in good faith and for value would be affected, the court may order the value or the purchase price restored or deposited in court.
A court reversing/modifying a final judgment may order restitution of property or rights lost by it — but where a good-faith purchaser for value would be hurt, the court may instead order the value or purchase price restored or deposited in court.
