34A Registration of foreign orders

(1) If the DPP applies to a court for registration of a foreign order in accordance with an authorisation under this Subdivision, the court must register the order accordingly. (2) The DPP must give notice of the application:

(a) to specified persons the DPP 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 must consider the application without notice having been given if the DPP 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).
