Commentary on Sections Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 (c.45)
655.The 1982 Act makes provision to deal with property that is in the unlawful possession of persons taken into police custody. Section 86A(2) of that Act provides that property that is subject to suspended forfeiture orders and restraint orders is not covered by these provisions. The amendment extends the exemption in section 86A(2) to property subject to a restraint order made under Part 3 of the Act. Such property will be dealt with by the restraint order provisions in Part 3.
