sec.205 Information notice for forfeiture decision
This section applies if the chief executive decides under section 204 (2) that an exhibited animal or other thing, other than a seized thing mentioned in section 199 (1) (c) , is forfeited. The chief executive must give the former owner of the animal or other thing an information notice for the decision. However, subsection (2) does not apply if— the decision was made under section 204 (2) (a) (i) or (ii) ; and the place where the animal or other thing was seized is— a public place; or a place where the notice is unlikely to be read by the former owner. If the decision was made under section 204 (2) (a) (i) or (ii) , the information notice may be given by leaving it at the place where the animal or other thing was seized, in a conspicuous position and in a reasonably secure way.
