Commentary on Sections

Part 4: Confiscation: Northern Ireland

Director’s receivers

Sections 200 & 201: Appointment; Powers

263.These sections provide that, as in England and Wales, where the Director is enforcing a confiscation order, the sole enforcement tool will be the appointment of a receiver. Section 201 enables the Crown Court to confer certain powers on the Director’s receiver. The powers are the same as those that the Crown Court may confer on a person appointed as enforcement receiver under section 195, on the application of the prosecutor.
