Where a document is so seized, a magistrates' court shall, on an application made for the purpose by that person or by an officer, make such order respecting the disposal of the document and award such costs as the justice of the case may require if–

a

within six months of the date on which it was seized no person has been charged since that date with an offence under section 99ZE of this Act in relation to that document; and

b

the document has not been returned to the person from whom it was taken.

Any proceedings in Scotland under subsection (2) of this section shall be taken by way of summary application in the sheriff court.

  • In the application of that subsection to Scotland the reference to costs shall be construed as a reference to expenses.
