  "text": "(This note is not part of the Rules)\nThese Rules amend the Crown Court Pules 1982 in consequence of the enactment of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. Chapter 3 of Part 5 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 permits the search for, and seizure, detention and forfeiture of, cash derived from, or intended for use in, unlawful conduct. Section 299 of that Act provides for an appeal to the Crown Court by any party to proceedings in which an order is made by a magistrates' court for the forfeiture of cash.\nRule 3 provides for notice of the appeal to be given to certain persons with an interest in the proceedings who may not have been joined as parties to the case in the magistrates' court. Notice of appeal will already be sent to parties to the, case under rule 8(b) of the Crown Court Rules 1982. Rule 4 adds the appeal under section 299 to the list of appeals to the Crown Court in which the notice of appeal is to state the grounds of appeal.",
