The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (Search, Seizure and Detention of Property: Code of Practice) (Northern Ireland) Order 2021 (revoked)

This Order brings into operation on 28th June 2021 a revised code of practice made under section 195S of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (c. 29) (“the 2002 Act”). Revisions to the code of practice are necessitated by the commencement in Northern Ireland of amendments made to the 2002 Act by the Criminal Finances Act 2017 (c. 22) which extended certain powers in Part 4 of the 2002 Act to immigration officers, Serious Fraud Office (“SFO”) officers and National Crime Agency (“NCA”) officers.
