Commentary on provisions of Act Section 14: Deprivation orders
Section 14 inserts new sections 94A and 177B to 177F into the AFA 2006 to introduce the punishment of a deprivation order. Such orders will be available for commanding officers, the Court Martial and the Service Civilian Court. Deprivation orders deprive offenders of any rights they had in the property. The provisions are modelled on the provision for deprivation orders which are available in the civilian context in England and Wales under section 152 of the Sentencing Act 2020.
	Subsection (4) inserts the new sections 177B to 177F in the AFA 2006 and subsection (5) inserts the new section 94A in the AFA 2006. The rest of section 14 makes consequential amendments in respect of these new sections. The new sections are as follows.
