[F1(1)Subsection (1A) below applies in a case where a person has been convicted of an offence of a relevant description if—
(a)the prosecutor has given written notice to the court for the purposes of subsection (1)(a) of section 71 above; or
(b)the court is proceeding in pursuance of subsection (1)(b) of that section and requires a statement under this section from the prosecutor.
(1A)Where this subsection applies, the prosecutor shall, within such period as the court may direct, tender to the court a statement as to any matters relevant—
(a)to determining whether the defendant has benefited from any relevant criminal conduct; or
(b)to an assessment of the value of the defendant’s benefit from that conduct;
and, where such a statement is tendered in a case in which a declaration has been made for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) of section 72AA above, that statement shall also set out all such information available to the prosecutor as may be relevant for the purposes of subsections (4) and (5)(b) or (c) of that section.
(1B)Where a statement is tendered to the court under this section—
(a)the prosecutor may at any time tender to the court a further statement as to the matters mentioned in subsection (1A) above; and
(b)the court may at any time require the prosecutor to tender a further such statement within such period as it may direct.
(1C)Where—
(a)any statement has been tendered to any court by the prosecutor under this section, and
(b)the defendant accepts to any extent any allegation in the statement,
the court may, for the purpose of determining whether the defendant has benefited from any relevant criminal conduct or of assessing the value of the defendant’s benefit from such conduct, treat his acceptance as conclusive of the matters to which it relates.]
(2)Where—
(a)a statement is tendered [F2by the prosecutor under this section], and
(b)the court is satisfied that a copy of that statement has been served on the defendant,
the court may require the defendant to indicate to what extent he accepts each allegation in the statement and, so far as he does not accept any such allegation, to indicate any matters he proposes to rely on.
(3)If the defendant fails in any respect to comply with a requirement under subsection (2) above, he may be treated for the purposes of this section as accepting every allegation in the statement apart from—
(a)any allegation in respect of which he has complied with the requirement; and
(b)any allegation that he has benefited from an offence or that any property was obtained by him as a result of or in connection with the commission of an offence.
