94 Dealing with forfeited sample or thing

(1) On forfeiture of a sample or thing to the Crown, the sample or thing becomes the Crown’s property and may be dealt with by the Rail Safety Regulator in any way the Rail Safety Regulator considers is appropriate. (2) Without limiting sub‑section (1), the Rail Safety Regulator may destroy or dispose of the sample or thing.

Note: Local variations if the Rail Safety Regulator does not represent the Crown in a particular jurisdiction.

(3) If a thing is forfeited to the Crown under section 92(1)(c), the rail safety officer must notify (in writing) the owner accordingly, setting out how the owner may seek review under Part 6 of the decision to forfeit the thing, unless the rail safety officer cannot find the owner despite making reasonable enquiries.
