33.27.—(1) This rule applies where—
(a)on an application under rule 33.25, a magistrates’ court has made an order authorising an officer to realise property;
(b)an officer so authorised holds proceeds of that realisation;
(c)the confiscation order has been fully paid; and
(d)the officer, or a person who had or has an interest in the property represented by the proceeds, wants a magistrates’ court or the Crown Court to determine under section 67D of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002(1)—
(i)to whom the remaining proceeds should be paid, and
(ii)in what amount or amounts.
(2) Such a person must—
(a)apply in writing; and
(b)serve the application on—
(i)the court officer, and
(ii)as appropriate, the officer holding the proceeds, or any person to whom such proceeds might be paid.
(3) The application must—
(a)specify the property which was realised;
(b)explain the applicant’s entitlement to apply;
(c)describe the distribution proposed by the applicant and explain why that is proposed;
(d)attach any material on which the applicant relies; and
(e)ask for a hearing, if the applicant wants one, and explain why it is needed.
(4) A person who wants to make representations about the application must—
(a)serve the representations on—
(i)the court officer,
(ii)the applicant, and
(iii)any other person to whom proceeds might be paid;
(b)do so as soon as reasonably practicable after service of the application;
(c)attach any material on which that person relies; and
(d)ask for a hearing, if that person wants one, and explain why it is needed.
(5) The court—
(a)must not determine the application unless the applicant and each person on whom it was served—
(i)is present, or
(ii)has had an opportunity to attend or to make representations;
(b)subject to that, may determine the application—
(i)at a hearing (which must be in private unless the court otherwise directs), or without a hearing,
(ii)in the absence of any party to the application.
[Note. Under section 67D of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, a magistrates’ court or the Crown Court may determine to whom, and in what proportions, any surplus proceeds of realisation must be distributed. Once a magistrates’ court has made such a determination, the Crown Court may not do so, and vice versa.]
2002 c. 29; section 67D was inserted by section 58 of the Policing and Crime Act 2009 (c. 26).
