conviction on information and the operation, in case of any such conviction,
of the provisions of section 24(1) of the Sale of Goods Act 1895 as

the court before which the conviction takes place directs to the contrary in
any case in which in its opinion the title to the property is not in dispute)
be suspended—
(a) in
any case, until the expiration of 10 days after the date of the conviction;
and
(b) in
cases where notice of appeal or permission to appeal is given within
10 days after the date of conviction—until the determination of the
appeal,
and, in cases where the operation of any such order or provisions is suspended
until the determination of the appeal, the order or provisions (as the case
may be) will not take effect as to the property in question if the conviction
is quashed on appeal, except by the special order of the Court of Appeal.
(2) Provision may be
made by rules of court for securing the safe custody of any property pending
the suspension of the operation of any such order or provisions.

made on, or in connection with, a conviction for the restitution of any
property to any person, or with reference to any property or the payment of

if annulled, will not take effect and, if varied, will take effect as so
varied).
