Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 · 2002 c. 29View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 3: Confiscation: Scotland

This section applies where the court makes a confiscation order.

The court may make such order in relation to the accused as it believes is appropriate for the purpose of ensuring that the confiscation order is effective (a "compliance order").

The court must consider whether to make a compliance order—

on the making of the confiscation order, and
if it does not make a compliance order then, at any later time (while the confiscation order is still in effect) on the application of the prosecutor.

In considering whether to make a compliance order, the court must, in particular, consider whether any restriction or prohibition on the accused's travel outside the United Kingdom ought to be imposed for the purpose mentioned in subsection (2).

The court may discharge or vary a compliance order on an application made by—

the prosecutor;
the accused.

For the purposes of any appeal or review, a compliance order is a sentence.
