Schedule 10, Part 1, Part 4BC, paragraph 10Z7CG

Any party to proceedings for an order for the forfeiture of cryptoassets under paragraph 10Z7CA may appeal against— the making of an order under paragraph 10Z7CA; the making of an order under paragraph 10Z7CE(7); a decision not to make an order under paragraph 10Z7CA unless the reason that no order was made is that an order was instead made under paragraph 10Z7CD; a decision not to make an order under paragraph 10Z7CE(7). Paragraphs (c) and (d) do not apply if the application for the order under paragraph 10Z7CA was transferred in accordance with paragraph 10Z7CE(1). Where an order under paragraph 10Z7CD is made by a magistrates’ court, any party to the proceedings for the order (including any party to the proceedings under paragraph 10Z7CA that preceded the making of the order) may appeal against a decision to include, or not to include, provision in the order under paragraph 10Z7CD(6). An appeal under this paragraph lies— in relation to England and Wales, to the Crown Court; in relation to Scotland, to the Sheriff Appeal Court; in relation to Northern Ireland, to a county court. An appeal under this paragraph must be made before the end of the period of 30 days starting with the day on which the court or sheriff makes the order or decision. Sub-paragraph (4) is subject to paragraph 10Z7CH. The court hearing the appeal may make any order it thinks appropriate. If the court upholds an appeal against an order forfeiting any cryptoasset or other item of property, it may, subject to sub-paragraph (8), order the release of the whole or any part of the property. If (in the United Kingdom or elsewhere) proceedings are started against any person for an offence with which the property is connected, the property is not to be released under this paragraph (and so is to continue to be detained) until the proceedings are concluded.
