        (2)         For the purposes of subsection (1), the Crown may dispose of or otherwise deal with the property—

            (a)         if the conviction is one in relation to which neither section 5(1)(b) nor (c) applies—

                  (i)         if an appeal has not been lodged within the period provided for lodging an appeal against the conviction—after the end of the period; or

            (c)         if the person is taken to have been convicted because of section 5(1)(c)

                  (i)         if an appeal has not been lodged within the period provided for lodging an appeal against the person’s conviction of the other offence referred to in that paragraph—after the end of the period; or
