# The Criminal Justice (International Co-operation) Act 1990 (Enforcement of Overseas Forfeiture Orders) (Amendment) Order 1993, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Criminal Justice (International Co-operation) Act 1990 (Enforcement of Overseas Forfeiture Orders) Order 1991 (S.I. 1991/1463) and the Criminal Justice (International Co-operation) Act 1990 (Enforcement of Overseas Forfeiture Orders) (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 (S.I. 1991/1464). These provide for the enforcement in England and Wales and Northern Ireland of orders made by a court in a designated country or territory for the forfeiture and destruction or other disposal of property used in connection with the commission of a drug trafficking offence. The powers in each of the 1991 Orders also apply to proceedings which have been or are to be instituted in a designated country or territory and may result in such an order being made there. Article 3(b) extends the provision made by those Orders to offences corresponding to indictable offences to which Part VI of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (c. 33) applies (i.e. all other indictable offences except offences under Part III of the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989) and corresponding offences under the law of Northern Ireland.
As well as amendments in respect of the countries and territories to which the 1991 Orders apply, the Order provides by articles 3(1)(c) and 6 for definition and certification of the institution of proceedings in a designated country.
