Where a request has been made for the purpose of —
identifying or tracing proceeds, property, instruments or such other things for the purposes of evidence;
immobilising criminally obtained assets; or
assisting in proceedings related to forfeiture and restitution,
the provisions of sections 32 to 38, and Schedule 5 to the Proceeds of Crime Act (2025 Revision) shall mutatis mutandis apply, except that —
any reference in those provisions to a designated country shall be construed as a reference to a country or territory specified in Schedule 1 of this Act; and
any reference in those provisions to the institution of proceedings shall be disregarded.
For the purposes of this Act, the powers of the Grand Court under paragraphs 6(1) and 7(a) of Schedule 5 to the Proceeds of Crime Act (2025 Revision) are exercisable where either an external confiscation order has been made or it appears to the Grand Court that there are reasonable grounds for thinking that such an order may be made.
