Description
This single volume explains the civil recovery regime under POCA 2002 in the magistrates' court for professionals.
POCA 2002, pt 5 contains the relevant primary legislation and includes the provisions that deal with the recovery of cash, listed assets, and bank accounts. There is considerable overlap in the principles and procedures that UK law enforcement must follow; from initial searches to the seizure and detention/freeze of assets before submitting an eventual forfeiture application.
Providing expert commentary on POCA 2002, Pt 5 and the principles and procedures that must be followed this title ensures that practitioners can provide practical guidance to individuals and corporates and includes all the relevant statutory provisions, rules, codes and forms.
It answers questions such as:
- Why would a client's bank account be frozen?
- If HMRC successfully applies to freeze a client's bank account, how can I get the court order discharged?
- If my client's cash is seized, how can I practically advise a client to get the funds returned?
- If my client is subject to a criminal investigation and a civil investigation, how should I advise them?
- If my client's bank accounts are frozen, how can everyday expenses, including paying legal fees, be met?
This is a must have title for Financial crime legal professionals, Accountants, Compliance officers, Fraud analysts, Cyber security experts, and Anti-bribery and corruption specialists.
