(1) The court hearing an application for a ^* forfeiture order may amend the application:

(a)

on application by the ^* DPP; or

(b)

with the consent of the DPP.

(2) However, the court must not amend the application to include additional property in the application unless:

(a)

the court is satisfied that:

(i)

the property was not reasonably capable of identification when the application was originally made; or

(ii)

necessary evidence became available only after the application was originally made; or

(b)

the ^* forfeiture order applied for is an order under section 47 or 49 and the court is satisfied that:

(i)

including the additional property in the application for the order might have prejudiced the investigation of, or the prosecution of a person for, an offence; or

(ii)

it is for any other reason appropriate to grant the application to amend.

(3) On applying for an amendment to include additional property in the application, the ^* DPP must give written notice of the application to amend to any person whom the DPP reasonably believes may have an ^* interest in that additional property. (4) If the ^* forfeiture order applied for is an order under section 48, any person who claims an ^* interest in that additional property may appear and adduce evidence at the hearing of the application to amend.
