12Proceedings by virtue of this Schedule are civil proceedings and may be instituted in a magistrates' court which has jurisdiction in relation to the place where the property to which the proceedings relate was seized.
13(1)Either party may appeal against the decision of the magistrates' court to the Crown Court.

(2)The relevant officer may dispose of the property in any manner he thinks fit.
18In proceedings under this Schedule, the fact, form and manner of the seizure are to be taken, without further evidence and unless the contrary is shown, to have been as set forth in the process.
19In proceedings, the condemnation by a court of property as forfeited under this Schedule may be proved by the production of either—
(a)the order of condemnation, or
(b)a certified copy of the order purporting to be signed by an officer of the court by which the order was made or granted.
20Neither the imposition of a requirement by virtue of this Schedule to return property to a person nor the return of it to a person in accordance with such a requirement affects—
(a)the rights in relation to that property, or any part of it, of any other person, or
(b)the right of any other person to enforce his rights against the person to whom it is returned.
21(1)In this Schedule—
“the court” is to be construed in accordance with paragraph 12;
“forfeitable property” is to be construed in accordance with paragraph 1(2);

Y Diweddaraf sydd Ar Gael (diwygiedig):Y fersiwn ddiweddaraf sydd ar gael o’r ddeddfwriaeth yn cynnwys newidiadau a wnaed gan ddeddfwriaeth ddilynol ac wedi eu gweithredu gan ein tîm golygyddol. Gellir gweld y newidiadau nad ydym wedi eu gweithredu i’r testun eto yn yr ardal ‘Newidiadau i Ddeddfwriaeth’.

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
