(3)If a court has already sentenced the defendant for the offence (or any of the offences) concerned section 6 has effect as if his particular criminal conduct included conduct which constitutes offences which the court has taken into consideration in deciding his sentence for the offence or offences concerned.

(4)Section 8(2) does not apply, and the rules applying instead are that the court must—

(a)take account of conduct occurring up to the time it decided the defendant’s benefit for the purposes of the confiscation order;

(7)If the amount found under the new calculation of the defendant’s benefit exceeds the relevant amount the court—

(a)must make a new calculation of the recoverable amount for the purposes of section 6, and

(b)if it exceeds the amount required to be paid under the confiscation order, may vary the order by substituting for the amount required to be paid such amount as it believes is just.

(8)In applying subsection (7)(a) the court must—

(a)take the new calculation of the defendant’s benefit;

(b)apply section 9 as if references to the time the confiscation order is made were to the time of the new calculation of the recoverable amount and as if references to the date of the confiscation order were to the date of that new calculation.

(9)In applying subsection (7)(b) the court must have regard in particular to—

(a)any fine imposed on the defendant for the offence (or any of the offences) concerned;

(b)when the court last calculated the defendant’s benefit in pursuance of this section, if this section has applied previously.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
