Seizure and forfeiture of monies held in bank accounts under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002
Practice notes

This Practice Note explains the provisions under Chapter 3B of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA 2002) inserted by section 16 of the Criminal Finances Act 2017 (CFA 2017), governing the seizure and forfeiture of monies held in bank account in summary proceedings. It covers what account freezing orders (AFOs) are, how they are obtained, applications to vary or set aside AFOs and their relationship with account forfeiture orders. It also covers appeals against decisions regarding forfeiture and the compensation which may be obtained in respect of cash in bank accounts made subject to an AFO which is then released from it. It considers recent case law concerning the exercise of this regime.
