107 The effect on forfeiture of convictions being quashed
(1) A forfeiture of property to the Commonwealth under section 92 in relation to a person’s conviction of an offence ceases to have effect if: (a) the person’s conviction of the offence is subsequently *quashed; and (b) the forfeiture does not also relate to the person’s conviction of other offences that have not been quashed; and (c) the *responsible authority does not, within 14 days after the conviction is quashed, apply to the court that made the *restraining order referred to in paragraph 92(1)(b) for the forfeiture to be confirmed. (2) However, unless and until a court decides otherwise on such an application, the *quashing of the conviction does not affect the forfeiture: (a) for 14 days after the conviction is quashed; and (b) if the *responsible authority makes such an application.
