(a) the person who owned the thing; or
(b) a person who had possession or control of the thing immediately before it was seized, retained or detained.
(2) The notice must state:
(a) that the thing has been disposed of; and
(b) the reason for the disposal; and
(c) that compensation may be payable under section 117.
> Note: A person may be paid compensation under section 117 if the disposal of the thing results in an acquisition of property otherwise than on just terms.
