CRIMINAL PROCEEDS CONFISCATION ACT 2002 - SECT 93A

93A Explanation of ch 2A

(1) This chapter enables proceedings to be started for the forfeiture of particular property of, or gifts given to someone else during a particular period by, a person who has been convicted of a qualifying offence for which a serious drug offence certificate has been issued.

(2) It does this by enabling the Supreme Court, as a preliminary step, to make a restraining order preventing particular property being dealt with without the court’s leave.

(3) Also, it allows—

(a) the person against whom a serious drug offender confiscation order is made to keep protected property; and

(b) a dependant of the person against whom a serious drug offender confiscation order is made to seek relief from the Supreme Court on the basis of hardship resulting from the order.
