I1C2C1C5C6C412C2C1C5C4 Interest on unpaid sums

1

If the amount required to be paid by a person under a confiscation order is not paid when it is required to be paid, he must pay interest on the amount for the period for which it remains unpaid.

2

The rate of interest is the same rate as that for the time being specified in section 17 of the Judgments Act 1838 (c. 110) (interest on civil judgment debts).

3

For the purposes of this section no amount is required to be paid under a confiscation order if—

a

an application has been made under section 11(4),

b

the application has not been determined by the court, and

c

the period of 12 months starting with the day on which the confiscation order was made has not ended.

4

In applying this Part the amount of the interest must be treated as part of the amount to be paid under the confiscation order.
