Forfeiture notices
60A Forfeiture notices
If:
an inspector seizes goods under section 49 or 52 of the Regulatory Powers Act; and
the inspector suspects, on reasonable grounds, that the goods are forfeitable goods;
the inspector may, within 7 days after the seizure, give a written notice (a forfeiture notice) to:
the owner of the goods; or
if the owner of the goods cannot be identified after reasonable inquiry—the person from whom the goods were seized.
The forfeiture notice must:
identify the goods; and
state that the goods have been seized; and
specify the reason for the seizure; and
state that the goods will be forfeited to the Commonwealth unless:
the owner of the thing, or the person from whom the thing was seized, applies to a designated court under section 60B within 60 days after the forfeiture notice is given; and
the court makes an order that the goods are not forfeitable goods; and
specify the address of the CEO.
