Criminal Assets Confiscation Act 2005

Literary proceeds are any benefit that a person derives from the commercial exploitation of—

the person's notoriety resulting from the person committing a serious offence; or

the notoriety of another person involved in the commission of the serious offence resulting from the first-mentioned person committing the offence.

The commercial exploitation may be by any means, including—

publishing material in written or electronic form; or

any use of media from which visual images, words or sounds can be produced; or

any live entertainment, representation or interview.

A court may, in determining—

whether a person has derived literary proceeds; or

the value of literary proceeds that a person has derived, treat as property of the person any property that, in the court's opinion—

is subject to the person's effective control; or

was not received by the person, but was transferred to, or (in the case of money) paid to, another person at the person's direction.
