#### 15A Simplified outline of this Part
A freezing order can be made against an account with a financial institution if:
(a) there are grounds to suspect the account balance reflects proceeds or an instrument of certain offences; and
(b) a magistrate is satisfied that, unless the order is made, there is a risk that the balance of the account will be reduced so that a person will not be deprived of all or some of the proceeds or instrument.
