CRIMINAL ASSETS CONFISCATION ACT 2005 (NO 19 OF 2005) - SECT 34

34—Court may exclude property from a restraining order

        (1)         The court to which an application for a restraining order under section 24(1)(a) or (b) was made may, when the order is made or at a later time, exclude specified property from the order if—

            (a)         an application is made under section 35 or 36; and

            (b)         the court is satisfied that—

                  (i)         the property is neither proceeds nor an instrument of unlawful activity; and

                  (ii)         the owner's interest in the property was lawfully acquired; and

                  (iii)         it would not be contrary to the public interest for the property to be excluded from the order.

        (2)         However—

            (a)         the court must not exclude property from a restraining order unless satisfied that neither a pecuniary penalty order nor a literary proceeds order could be made against—

                  (i)         the person who owns the property; or

                  (ii)         if the property is not owned by the suspect but is under his or her effective control—the suspect; and

            (b)         the court must not exclude property from a restraining order unless satisfied that the property could not be subject to an instrument substitution declaration if the suspect were convicted of the offence.
