Forfeiture
53 Forfeiture
In addition to any other penalty the Court before which a person is convicted may order that any radioactive substance, irradiating apparatus or electronic product to which the offence relates shall be forfeited to Her Majesty.
Any substance, apparatus or product ordered to be forfeited to Her Majesty shall be seized and thereafter dealt with as the Attorney General, after consultation with the Council, shall direct and, pending his direction, shall be detained in such custody as the Court directs.
Where any substance, apparatus or product is liable to be ordered to be forfeited to Her Majesty —
the court may, before making an order for forfeiture, require notice to be given to, and hear, any persons claiming any financial or other interest therein; and
upon making an order for forfeiture the court may recommend to the Attorney General that the whole, or a specified portion, of the proceeds of any sale of the substance, apparatus or product forfeited should be paid to a person specified by the court.
