CRIME (CONFISCATION OF PROFITS) ACT 1993 - SECT 167
Compensation
(1) A person may apply to the Supreme Court for an order to be made in
respect of compensation in respect of restrained property or forfeited
property that
(a) was owned or effectively controlled by the applicant; and
(b) was destroyed or sold under this Subdivision; and
(c) the applicant was entitled under this Part to have returned to him or her
if the property had not been so destroyed or sold.
(2) In considering an application under subsection (1) , the
Supreme Court is to consider the following circumstances:
(a) whether the application for the relevant wealth-restraining order, or
wealth forfeiture order, was made in good faith;
(b) whether the evidence as a whole would support the unexplained wealth
declaration to which the specified restraining order, or forfeiture order,
relates but the unexplained wealth declaration has not been made under this
Part due to a technicality;
(c) whether the applicant was found not to have unexplained wealth;
(d) any other circumstances the Supreme Court thinks relevant.
(3) The Supreme Court may order that the State is liable to pay the
applicant an amount, as specified in the order, that does not exceed an amount
equal to
(a) if the property was destroyed, the market value of the property less the
costs of destroying the property; or
(b) if the property was sold, the proceeds of the sale.
(4) For the purposes of subsection (3)(a) , the market value of
property is the market value of the property at the time the property was
restrained or forfeited.
