Effect of setting aside forfeiture order
16 Effect of setting aside forfeiture order
If a court sets aside a forfeiture order, each person affected by the order is entitled to the return of—
any bail money or bail security that has been provided by that person, or seized from that person, in relation to the bail acknowledgment to which the order relates, and
the proceeds of sale of any bail security so provided or seized.
If a court varies a forfeiture order so as to reduce the amount of money forfeited by a particular person affected by the order, that person is entitled to the return of—
any bail money or bail security that has been provided by that person, or seized from that person, in relation to the bail acknowledgment to which the order relates, and
the proceeds of sale of any bail security so provided or seized,
to the extent to which the amount of any such bail money, bail security or proceeds of sale exceeds the reduced amount of money forfeited.
A court that sets aside a forfeiture order may make such orders as are necessary to effect the return of any such bail money, bail security or proceeds of sale.
The Consolidated Fund is appropriated to the extent necessary to enable money that has been paid into that Fund to be returned in accordance with this clause.
