Return of forfeited item
52 Return of forfeited item
An item seized under this Part that is forfeited under this Division and that has not been destroyed or otherwise disposed of in a manner that would prevent its return must, as soon as practicable, be delivered to the person from whom it was seized, or such other person as appears to the enforcement agency concerned to be entitled to it, if the enforcement agency becomes satisfied that no contravention of this Act has been committed in relation to the item.
On being so delivered, any proprietary and other interests in the item that existed immediately before its forfeiture are restored.
