### sec.312 Information notice for forfeiture decision This section applies if— the administrator for the relevant entity decides under section 310 (1) to forfeit a thing; or the chief executive decides under section 311 to forfeit a thing. The administrator or chief executive must as soon as practicable give a person who owned the thing immediately before the forfeiture (the former owner ) an information notice for the decision.
