(a) on application by the * responsible authority; or
(b) with the consent of the authority.
(2) However, the court must not amend the application to include additional property in the application unless:
(a) the court is satisfied that:
(i) the property was not reasonably capable of identification when the application was originally made; or
(ii) necessary evidence became available only after the application was originally made; or
(b) the * forfeiture order applied for is an order under section 47 or 49 and the court is satisfied that:
(i) including the additional property in the application for the order might have prejudiced the investigation of, or the prosecution of a person for, an offence; or
(ii) it is for any other reason appropriate to grant the application to amend.
(3) On applying for an amendment to include additional property in the application, the * responsible authority must give written notice of the application to amend to any person whom the authority reasonably believes may have an * interest in that additional property.
(4) If the * forfeiture order applied for is an order under section 48, any person who claims an * interest in that additional property may appear and adduce evidence at the hearing of the application to amend.
