International Criminal Court Act 2006

Exercise of powers by High Court or receiver.

42.— (1) In this section “powers” means the powers conferred on the High Court by section 38 (11) or 41 (2) or on a receiver appointed under either of those provisions.

(2) Subject to subsection (3), the powers shall be exercised with a view to—

(a) securing that the property covered by an order under either of those provisions is available to satisfy any order of the International Criminal Court imposing a fine or forfeiture or providing for reparation to, or in respect of, victims,

(b) in the case of realisable property held by a person to whom the defendant has directly or indirectly made a gift caught by this Part, realising no more than the value for the time being of the gift,

(c) allowing any person, other than the defendant or the recipient of any such gift, to retain or recover the value of any property held by him or her.

(3) In exercising the powers no account shall be taken of any obligations of the defendant or of the recipient of any such gift that conflict with the obligation to satisfy the freezing order or ICC order concerned.
