Confiscation unit

Confiscation Orders are usually made under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (“POCA 2002″), but older Orders may have been made under the Drug Trafficking Act 1994 (DTA 1994) or the Criminal Justice Act 1998 (CJA 1998).

If you are unable to satisfy the original Order, by the date set by the Court, you will face the prospect of going to prison for the default period set by the original Court. This does not wipe the debt and this will remain regardless of whether you serve the default period or not.

In certain circumstances, applications can be made to the Court for variation/discharge of the Order or what is known as a “Certificate of Inadequacy”
