#### 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.
