Search and Surveillance Act 2012

Amendments, repeals, and miscellaneous provisions - Amendments to search and seizure powers in other enactments (and to related provisions) used for law enforcement purposes or for law enforcement and regulatory purposes - Amendments to Ozone Layer Protection Act 1996

290: Return or forfeiture of property seized

You could also call this:

"What happens to things that the police take during a search?"

When something is seized, you might wonder what happens to it. The law says that a part of the law called section 26 is being changed. The heading of this section is being amended to say "Forfeiture" instead of "Return or forfeiture".

Some parts of section 26 are being removed, specifically the parts that talk about what happens to seized property. You can find the original law on the government's website. This change is part of a bigger law called the Search and Surveillance Act 2012.
