s 30 Confiscation order where person has absconded
30. Where a person is, by reason of section 29, to be taken to have been convicted of a drug dealing offence or a serious offence (as the case may be), a court is not to make a confiscation order in reliance on the person’s conviction of the offence unless the court is satisfied —(a) on the evidence adduced before it that, on the balance of probabilities, the person has absconded; and (b) having regard to all the evidence before the court, that such evidence if unrebutted would warrant his or her conviction for the drug dealing offence or serious offence, as the case may be.[27 [21/2014]
