34ARegistration of foreign orders

#### 34A Registration of foreign orders (1A) An application to a court for registration of a foreign order in accordance with an authorisation under this Subdivision must be to a court with proceeds jurisdiction. (1) If a proceeds of crime authority applies to a court with proceeds jurisdiction for registration of a foreign order in accordance with an authorisation under this Subdivision, the court must register the order accordingly, unless the court is satisfied that it would be contrary to the interests of justice to do so. (2) The proceeds of crime authority must give notice of the application: (a) to specified persons the authority has reason to suspect may have an interest in the property; and (b) to such other persons as the court directs. (3) However, the court may consider the application without notice having been given if the proceeds of crime authority requests the court to do so. (4) If a foreign pecuniary penalty order or a foreign restraining order is registered in a court under this Subdivision: (a) a copy of any amendments made to the order (whether before or after registration) may be registered in the same way as the order; and (b) the amendments do not, for the purposes of this Act and the Proceeds of Crime Act, have effect until they are registered. (5) An order or an amendment of an order is to be registered in a court by the registration, in accordance with the rules of the court, of: (a) a copy of the appropriate order or amendment sealed by the court or other authority making that order or amendment; or (b) a copy of that order or amendment duly authenticated in accordance with subsection 43(2).
