CRIMINAL ASSETS CONFISCATION ACT 2005 (NO 19 OF 2005) - SECT 53

53—Forfeiture orders can extend to other interests in property

        (1)         A court may, in specifying an interest in property in a forfeiture order, specify any other interests in the property (regardless of whose they are) if—

            (a)         the amount received from disposing of the combined interests would be likely to be greater than the amount received from disposing of each of the interests separately; or

            (b)         disposing of the interests separately would be impracticable or significantly more difficult than disposing of the combined interests.

        (2)         If a court specifies other interests under subsection (1), the court may make such ancillary orders as it thinks fit for the protection of a person having one or more of those other interests.

        (3)         Without limiting the generality of subsection (2), an ancillary order may include—

            (a)         an order directing the Crown to pay the person a specified amount as the value of the person’s interest in the property; or

            (b)         an order directing that specified other interests in the property be transferred to the person.

        (4)         In deciding whether to make an ancillary order, the court must have regard to—

            (a)         the nature, extent and value of the person’s interest in the property concerned; and

            (b)         if the court is aware that any other person claims an interest in the property—the nature, extent and value of the interest; and

            (c)         any other matter that the court considers relevant.
