Section 303Z16

Any party to proceedings for an order for the forfeiture of money under section 303Z14 who is aggrieved by an order under that section or by the decision of the court not to make such an order may appeal— from an order or decision of a magistrates' court in England and Wales, to the Crown Court; from an order or decision of the sheriff, to the Sheriff Appeal Court; from an order or decision of a magistrates' court in Northern Ireland, to a county court. An appeal under subsection (1) must be made before the end of the period of 30 days starting with the day on which the court makes the order or decision. The court hearing the appeal may make any order it thinks appropriate. If the court upholds an appeal against an order forfeiting the money, it may order the release of the whole or any part of the money. Where money is released by virtue of subsection (4), there must be added to the money on its release any interest accrued on it whilst in the account referred to in section 303Z14(7)(a).
