Reference: Proceeds of Crime - Legal Guidance Revised 12 March 2018 Reference information: Proceeds of Crime - Legal Guidance Revised 12 March 2018 Chapter 2 - Restraint Order ........................... 7 Restraint Order – Introduction ....................... 7 Restrain Order - Legal Principles .................... 7 Key terms defined .......................................11 Ancillary Orders ..........................................13 Variation or Discharge of a Restraint Order .....14 Restraint Order – Practical Guidance ............. 15 Restrain Order - Legal Principles A restraint order may be granted under s.41 and may have the effect of freezing property anywhere in the world that may be liable to confiscation following the trial and the making of a confiscation order. It may be made both against a defendant or a person under investigation together with any other person holding realisable property. .... Key terms defined Free property Property is free property (see s.82) unless it is the subject of: • a forfeiture order either under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 or the Terrorism Act 2000, • a deprivation order under the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000. • an interim receiving order, a recovery order or an order for the detention or forfeiture of seized cash under the civil recovery provisions of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. Realisable property Realisable property is defined in s.83 as any free property held by the defendant and any free property held by the recipient of a tainted gift. The term "property" is defined in s.84 and covers all property wherever situated and includes money, real or personal property, a thing in action, or other intangible or incorporeal property. A person "holds" property if he holds an interest in it. A person obtains property if he obtains an interest in it, and one person transfers property to another, if the first one transfers or grants an interest in it to the second. References to an interest, in relation to property other than land, include references to a right (including a right to possession). If the defendant or the recipient of a tainted gift has any interest in the property, the whole of the property is realisable property and may be restrained. Companies Companies enjoy their own legal personality separate and distinct from the defendant. In normal circumstances, therefore, assets of a company do not constitute realisable property of the defendant. However, a long line of authorities have established that where a defendant is the controlling mind of the company and it is a sham and/or has been used to facilitate the criminal conduct complained of, the court may pierce the corporate veil of the company and treat it as the realisable property of the defendant: see R v Boyle Transport (Northern Ireland) Ltd [2016] EWCA Crim 19. ..... Tainted gifts A gift is made if the defendant transfers property to another person for a consideration whose value is significantly less than the value of the property at the time of the transfer. There are a number of ways that a gift will be tainted (see s.77): .... .... .... Although a court can apply the wider definition of tainted gifts at the restraint stage (i.e. at point 1 above), if it is clear at that time that the defendant does not have a criminal lifestyle and that therefore the narrower definition will apply at the confiscation hearing, the court will have to take this into account when making the restraint order. https://www.cps.gov.uk/sites/default/files/documents/legal_g...
