# The Magistrates' Courts (Detention and Forfeiture of Terrorist Cash) Rules 2001, Article 12: Procedure at hearings


(1) At the hearing of an application under section 26(1), 26(4), 27(2) or 28(1) of the Act, any person to whom notice of the application has been given may attend and be heard on the question of whether an order or further order of continued detention should be made, an existing order should be discharged or a forfeiture order should be made, as the case may be, but the fact that any such person does not attend shall not prevent the court from hearing the application.
(2) Subject to the foregoing provisions of these Rules, proceedings on such an application shall be regulated in the same manner as proceedings on a complaint, and accordingly for the purposes of these Rules the application shall be deemed to be a complaint, the applicant a complainant, the respondents to be defendants and any notice given by the clerk of a magistrates' court under rule 5(3) or 7(2) of these Rules to be a summons: but nothing in this rule shall be construed as enabling a warrant of arrest to be issued for failure to appear in answer to any such notice.
