Legal Terms - confiscation order
An order that requires an offender convicted by the Crown Court of a *indictable offence, who has benefited by at least £10,000 from that offence (or an offence taken into consideration), to pay a sum that the court thinks fit (Proceeds of Crime Act 2002). Magistrates have the authority to issue these kinds of orders solely for a certain category of offenses (such as those involving the provision of video recordings of unclassified work). The order is extra to any other penalty and is enforced like a *fine. When legal action has been taken against an individual for a relevant offense, the High Court has the authority to issue a restraint order that forbids the transfer or sale of the individual's realizable property.
