(1) If the chief executive decides under section 109 that a thing is forfeited, the chief executive must, as soon as practicable, give a person who owned the thing immediately before the forfeiture (the
"former owner" ) an information notice about the decision.
(2) If the decision was made under section 109 (1) (a) or (b) , the information notice may be given by leaving the notice at the place where the thing was seized, in a conspicuous position and in a reasonably secure way.
(3) The information notice must state that the former owner may apply for a stay of the decision if the former owner applies for a review of the decision.
(4) However, this section does not apply if—(a) the decision was made under section 109 (1) (a) or (b) ; and(b) the place where the thing was seized is—(i) a public place; or(ii) a place where the notice is unlikely to be read by the former owner.
