(b)in such proportions,
as the High Court may direct after giving a reasonable opportunity for such persons to make representations to the court.
(3)The receipt of any sum by a [F1justices’ chief executive] on account of an amount payable under a confiscation order shall reduce the amount so payable, but the [justices’ chief executive] shall apply the money received for the purposes specified in this section and in the order so specified.

(a)any payment required by subsection (4) above; and

the [F1justices’ chief executive] shall reimburse any amount paid under section 88(2) below.
