Registration of order

  (1A)   An application for the registration of an order in accordance with an authorisation under subsection   155(2) must be to a court with proceeds jurisdiction.

  (1)   If a proceeds of crime authority so applies to a court with proceeds jurisdiction , the court must register the order , unless the court is satisfied that it would be contrary to the interests of justice to do so .

  (2)   The proceeds of crime authority must give notice of the application:

  (a)   to specified persons who the authority has reason to suspect may have an interest in the property; and

  (b)   to such other persons as the court directs.

  (3)   However, the court may consider the application without notice having been given if the proceeds of crime authority requests the court to do so.

  (4)   An order is to be registered in a court by the registration, under the rules of the court, of a copy of the order authenticated by the ICC.

  (5)   A copy sent by fax, email or other electronic means of an authenticated copy of an order is taken for the purposes of subsection   ( 4) to be the same as the authenticated copy.

  (6)   However, a registration effected by a court registering a copy of an authenticated copy ceases to have effect after 45 days unless the authenticated copy has been filed by then in that court.
