Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) Where a court:
(a) makes a forfeiture order against property; and
(b) makes an order under subsection 19(5) in respect of an interest in the property;
the payment to the Commonwealth, while the interest is still vested in the Commonwealth, of the amount specified in the order under subsection 19(5) as the value of the interest discharges the forfeiture order to the extent to which it relates to the interest.
(2) Where:
(a) property is forfeited to the Commonwealth under section 30;
(b) a court makes an order under subsection 31(7) in respect of an interest in the property; and
(c) there is paid to the Commonwealth, while the interest is still vested in the Commonwealth, the amount specified in the order under subsection 31(7) as the value of the interest;
section 30 ceases to apply in relation to the interest.
(3) Where subsection ( 1) or (2) applies to an interest in property, the Minister shall arrange for the interest to be transferred to the person in whom it was vested immediately before the property was forfeited to the Commonwealth.
