(1) If the Supreme Court is satisfied that an assets forfeiture order will
operate to cause hardship to any dependant of the person who will forfeit an
interest in property under the order, the Court--
(a) may order that the
dependant is entitled to be paid a specified amount out of the proceeds of
sale of the interest, being an amount that the Court thinks is necessary to
prevent hardship to the dependant, and
(b) may make ancillary orders for the
purpose of ensuring the proper application of an amount so paid to a person
who is under 18 years of age.
(2) The Court is not to make an order under
this section in favour of the dependant of a person whose
serious crime related activity or illegal activity formed the basis for the
assets forfeiture order concerned unless the Court is satisfied that the
dependant had no knowledge of any serious crime related activities or illegal
activities of the person.
(3) Subsection (2) does not apply if the dependant
concerned is under 18 years of age.
