sec.222 Information notice about forfeiture decision
If the health ombudsman decides under section 221 (1) to forfeit a thing, the health ombudsman must as soon as practicable give a person who owned the thing immediately before the forfeiture (the former owner ) an information notice about the decision. The information notice may be given by leaving it at the place where the thing was seized, in a conspicuous position and in a reasonably secure way. The information notice must state that the former owner may apply for a stay of the decision if he or she appeals against the decision. However, subsections (1) to (3) do not apply if the place where the thing was seized is— a public place; or a place where the notice is unlikely to be read by the former owner.
