76—Excluding property from forfeiture under this Division

        (1)         The court that made the restraining order referred to in section 74(1)(b) may make an order excluding particular property from forfeiture under this Division if—

            (a)         the person referred to in section 74(1)(a)

                  (i)         applies for the order; and

                  (ii)         owns the property; and

                  (iii)         has been convicted of a serious offence to which the restraining order relates; and

            (b)         the property is covered by the restraining order; and

            (c)         the court is satisfied that—

                  (i)         the property is not proceeds of unlawful activity; and

                  (ii)         the defendant’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 such forfeiture.

        (2)         To avoid doubt, an order under this section cannot be made in relation to property if the property has already been forfeited under this Division.

        (3)         The person must give written notice to the DPP of both the application and the grounds on which the order is sought.

        (4)         The DPP—

            (a)         may appear and adduce evidence at the hearing of the application; and

            (b)         must give the applicant notice of any grounds on which it proposes to contest the application.
