England and Wales
Where a claim is made which satisfies the requirements of regulation 10, a seizure authority must—
determine entitlement in respect of a claim;
where a claimant is determined as entitled, determine—
where such a duty does not arise, the period for collection, which is the period beginning with the date of the determination notice and ending 10 working days after that date; and
give notice of such determination.
The notice under paragraph (1) must—
meet the requirements of regulation 13; and
be given within the period—
beginning with the date on which the claim was made and ending 3 working days after that date; or
where applicable, beginning with the date on which evidence was provided in accordance with regulation 11(2) and ending 3 working days after that date.
Where there is more than one claim to the seized property or any part of the seized property, a seizure authority must determine under paragraph (1) which person is entitled to such property (including any part of that property) on the basis of the evidence provided to the authority.
