WITNESS PROTECTION ACT 1995 - SECT 30

30 Avoidance of obligations by participant

(1) If the Commissioner of Police is satisfied that a participant who has been provided with a new identity under the witness protection program is using the new identity:

(a) to avoid obligations that were incurred before the new identity was established, or

(b) to avoid complying with restrictions that were imposed on the person before the new identity was established,

the Commissioner is to give notice in writing to the participant stating that he or she is so satisfied.

(2) The notice is also to state that, unless the participant satisfies the Commissioner of Police that the obligations will be dealt with according to law or the restrictions will be complied with, the Commissioner will take such action as he or she considers reasonably necessary to ensure that they are dealt with according to law or complied with.

(3) That action may include informing a person who is seeking to enforce rights against the participant of the details of any property (whether real or personal) owned by the participant under his or her former identity.
