Where a single judge or the Court of Appeal has disposed of an application for permission to appeal or an appeal under section 31 of the 2002 Act947, the Registrar must also, as soon as practicable, serve the order on F2the Crown Court officer and the court officer for the magistrates’ court responsible for enforcing any confiscation order which the Crown Court has made (the ‘enforcing court’)
F44
Paragraphs (5) and (6) of this rule apply where—
a
a single judge has refused an application for permission to appeal under section 31 of the 2002 Act, and
b
the appellant renews that application, in time or with an application to extend the time within which to renew.
5
The Registrar must, as soon as practicable, notify the court officer for the enforcing court, if any, of the service of that renewed application.
6
Unless a single judge, the Court of Appeal or the enforcing court otherwise directs, pending disposal of the renewed application the court officer for the enforcing court must withhold the payment of any sum not yet paid—
a
which under section 13(6) of the 2002 Act was directed to be paid out of sums recovered under a confiscation order, and
b
the payment of which is suspended pending appeal.
[Note. See also rule 42.11 (Notice of appeal) under which (i) the Registrar must notify the court officer for the enforcing court of the service of a notice of appeal, and (ii) that court officer must notify any person whose entitlement to payment of a sum is suspended by that appeal.
Under section 13 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, if the Crown Court makes a confiscation order and one or more priority orders, as defined in that section, against the same defendant in the same proceedings then in some circumstances the court must direct that part or all of the priority order must be paid out of sums recovered under the confiscation order.
A compensation order under section 134 of the Sentencing Act 2020 is such a priority order. Under section 141(1) of the 2020 Act, a person in whose favour a compensation order is made is not entitled to receive the amount due until there is no further possibility of the order being varied or set aside on appeal (disregarding any power to grant leave to appeal out of time). Under section 141(2) of the 2020 Act, Criminal Procedure Rules may make provision about the way in which the enforcing court is to deal with money paid in satisfaction of a compensation order where the entitlement of the person in whose favour it was made is suspended.]
