Point in time view as at 01/04/2001. This version of this provision has been superseded.
You are viewing this legislation item as it stood at a particular point in time. A later version of this or provision, including subsequent changes and effects, supersedes this version.
Note the term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section.
Drug Trafficking Act 1994, Section 51 is up to date with all changes known to be in force on or before 30 August 2024. There are changes that may be brought into force at a future date. Changes that have been made appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation.

(2)It is a defence to a charge of committing an offence under this section that the person charged acquired or used the property or had possession of it for adequate consideration.
(3)For the purposes of subsection (2) above—
(a)a person acquires property for inadequate consideration if the value of the consideration is significantly less than the value of the property; and

(5)Where a person discloses to a constable a suspicion or belief that any property is, or in whole or in part directly or indirectly represents, another person’s proceeds of drug trafficking, or discloses to a constable any matter on which such a suspicion or belief is based—
(a)the disclosure shall not be treated as a breach of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by statute or otherwise; and
(b)if he does any act in relation to the property in contravention of subsection (1) above, he does not commit an offence under this section if—
(i)the disclosure is made before he does the act concerned and the act is done with the consent of the constable; or
(ii)the disclosure is made after he does the act, but is made on his initiative and as soon as it is reasonable for him to make it.

(7)In proceedings against a person for an offence under this section, it is a defence to prove that—
(a)he intended to disclose to a constable such a suspicion, belief or matter as is mentioned in subsection (5) above, but
(b)there is reasonable excuse for his failure to make any such disclosure in the manner mentioned in paragraph (b)(i) or (ii) of that subsection.
(8)In the case of a person who was in employment at the time in question, subsections (5) and (7) above shall have effect in relation to disclosures, and intended disclosures, to the appropriate person in accordance with the procedure established by his employer for the making of such disclosures as they have effect in relation to disclosures, and intended disclosures, to a constable.
