Other provisions in Part 1 Payment of a defendant’s cash in settlement of a confiscation order
POCA previously allowed the payment of a defendant’s cash which had been seized by the police or HMRC to be paid across by order of the court in settlement of an outstanding confiscation order. The Act extends the circumstances in which this power operates to include cash that has been seized by any law enforcement agency under a warrant or a statutory seizure power and whether it is being held by that agency or paid into an account.
