Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000

This section applies to a seized vehicle described in a seizure notice given or published under section 123F.

A person who claims to be an owner of the vehicle may apply to the commissioner for the release of the vehicle.

The release application must—

be in the approved form; and

be made within the standard release application period; and

contain evidence to establish—

the person is an owner of the vehicle; and

at least 1 ground for release is made out.

Despite subsection (3)(b), the commissioner may, before the end of the standard release application period, extend the period for making an application by a further period of up to 30 days if satisfied the extension is reasonable in the interests of justice.

For subsection (3)(c)(ii), a statement or statutory declaration by the applicant about a particular matter is not of itself sufficient evidence to establish the matter.
