Article 213Q Realisation of forfeited propertyF1

(1)

If property is forfeited under article 213L (forfeiture) or 213O (associated and joint property: default of agreement), a relevant officer must realise the property or make arrangements for its realisation.

(2)

But the property is not to be realised—

(a)

before the end of the period within which an appeal may be made (whether under article 213P (articles 213L to 213O: appeals) or otherwise), or

(b)

if an appeal is made within that period, before the appeal is determined or otherwise disposed of.

(3)

The realisation of property under paragraph (1) must be carried out, so far as practicable, in the manner best calculated to maximise the amount obtained for the property.
