(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.
