1

This section applies to sums which—

b

second, they must be applied in making any payments directed by the magistrates' court or the Crown Court;

c

third, they must be paid to the appropriate designated officer on account of the amount payable under the confiscation order.

3

If the amount payable under the confiscation order has been fully paid and any sums remain in the appropriate officer's hands, the appropriate officer must distribute them—

among such persons who held (or hold) interests in the property represented by the proceeds as the magistrates' court or the Crown Court directs, and

b

in such proportions as it directs.

Before making a direction under subsection (3) the court must give persons who held (or hold) interests in the property a reasonable opportunity to make representations to it.
