order is made may appeal against that order:

   (a)  in the case of a person convicted of the offence in reliance on which
        the order was made-in the same manner as if the order were, or were
        part of, a sentence imposed on the person in respect of the offence;
        or

   (b)  in any other case-in the same manner as if the person had been

(3) Where a court:

   (a)  makes a pecuniary penalty order; and

   (b)  makes an order under subsection 28 (3) declaring that particular
        property is available to satisfy the order; a person who has an
        interest in the property may appeal against the order under
        subsection 28 (3) in the same manner as if the person had been
        convicted of the offence in reliance on which the order was made and
        the order were, or were part of, a sentence imposed on the person in
        respect of the offence.

varied.

made.
