Alternative Title:
Description:	The Policing and Crime Act 2009 (the 2009 Act) inserts new sections into the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 which allow senior officers to forfeit detained cash without a court order. The Rules amend the Magistrates Courts (Detention and Forfeiture of Seized Cash) Rules (Northern Ireland) 2003 to prescribe the procedure to be followed on an application to set aside such a forfeiture. The 2009 Act also increases the maximum period for which a court may authorise the detention of cash from 3 months to 6 months, and the draft Rules amend the 2003 Rules to reflect this change.

Status:	MADE - Following consultation with the Lord Chancellor and with the agreement of the Lord Chief Justice, these Rules will come into operation on the same day as sections 64 and 65 of the Policing and Crime Act 2009.
