Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules revoke and replace the Magistrates' Court (Detention and Forfeiture of Terrorist Cash) Rules 2001. They prescribe the procedure to be followed for applications to a magistrates' court for the detention, further detention, forfeiture or release of cash seized by a constable, customs officer, or immigration officer under Schedule 1 to the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 on reasonable suspicion of a connection to terrorism. They also prescribe the procedure to be followed for applications to a magistrates' court for compensation where no forfeiture order is made. The Rules prescribe the forms to be used in connection with the applications and hearings.
