Section 107 Registration of external confiscation orders.
Scotland
On an application made by or on behalf of the Government of a designated country, the Court of Session may register an external confiscation order made there if—
it is satisfied that at the time of registration the order is in force and not subject to appeal;
it is satisfied, where the person against whom the order is made did not appear in the proceedings, that he received notice of the proceedings in sufficient time to enable him to defend them; and
it is of the opinion that enforcing the order in Scotland would not be contrary to the interests of justice.
In subsection (1) above “appeal” includes—
any proceedings by way of discharging or setting aside a judgment; and
an application for a new trial or a stay of execution.
The Court of Session shall cancel the registration of an external confiscation order if it appears to the court that the order has been satisfied by payment of the amount due under it or by the person against whom it was made serving imprisonment in default of payment or by any other means.
