Crimes Act 1961

Appeals - Appeal against conviction or sentence

387: Revesting and restitution of property on conviction

You could also call this:

“Property taken during a crime gets returned to its owner if the person is found guilty.”

When you are convicted of a crime, the law used to have rules about returning property. This part of the law was called ‘Revesting and restitution of property on conviction’. However, this section of the law no longer exists. It was removed on 1 July 2013. This means that the old rules about property after a conviction are not part of the current law anymore.
