EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules amend Magistrates’ Courts (Detention and Forfeiture of Terrorist Cash) (No 2) Rules 2001 (“the 2001 Rules”), which prescribe the procedure to be followed for applications to a magistrates’ court for the detention, further detention, forfeiture or release of cash seized under Parts 1-4 of Schedule 1 to the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 (c. 24) (“ATCSA”).
The amendments made by these Rules update the procedure in the 2001 Rules to take account of the amendments to Schedule 1 to ATCSA made by the Criminal Finances Act 2017 (c. 22).
