Product Emissions Standards Act 2017

This section applies if:

an inspector seizes an emissions‑controlled product under Part 3 of the Regulatory Powers Act as it applies in relation to this Act; and

the inspector reasonably suspects that a provision of Part 3 of this Act was contravened in relation to the product.

The inspector may, within 7 days after the product is seized, give a written notice (the forfeiture notice) to the owner of the product.

If the owner of the product cannot be identified after reasonable inquiry, the inspector may give the forfeiture notice to the person from whom the product was seized.

The notice must:

identify the product; and

state that the product has been seized; and

specify the reason for the seizure; and

state that the product will be forfeited to the Commonwealth unless a court, on application under section 35, orders the product to be returned.
