Other provisions in Part 1 Allow the writing-off of orders made under the Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986
The Serious Crime Act 2015 allowed for confiscation orders made against people who have subsequently died, to be written off. This only covered orders made under POCA. There are still some orders made under earlier legislation – the Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986 – to which the amendment in the Serious Crime Act 2015 did not apply. This Act addresses this gap.
