111—Making literary proceeds orders
(1) A court may, on
application by the DPP, make an order (a
"literary proceeds order") requiring a person to pay an amount to the Crown if
the court is satisfied that the person—
(a) has
committed a serious offence (whether or not the person has been convicted of
the offence); and
(b) has
derived literary proceeds in relation to the offence.
(2) For the purposes
of this section, the literary proceeds must have been derived after the
commencement of this Act.
(3) More than one
literary proceeds order may be made against a person in relation to the same
serious offence.
(4) The court’s
power to make a literary proceeds order in relation to a serious offence is
not affected by the existence of another confiscation order in relation to the
offence.
(5) A person who would
be subject to a literary proceeds order if it were made may appear and adduce
evidence at the hearing of the application.
