Chapter 23: Multiple confiscation orders
In this chapter of the consultation paper, the Law Commission considers how well the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (“POCA 2002”) operates in relation to defendants who become subject to more than one confiscation order.
Chapter 24: The interrelationship between compensation and confiscation orders
In this chapter of the consultation paper the Law Commission explores the statutory regimes governing compensation and confiscation orders. It considers the extent to which the law prioritises compensation and the interrelationship between the two types of orders. The paper examines the difficulties with the present system, and makes provisional proposals for reform.
Chapter 25: Reconsideration
In this chapter the Law Commission explores the law in relation to section 22 of Part 2, Proceeds of Crime Act 2002: the reconsideration of the amount an offender must pay under a confiscation order. The paper considers perceptions of unfairness with regard to the current regime and makes provisional proposals for reform.
