7Recoverable amount
(1)The recoverable amount for the purposes of section 6 is an amount equal to the defendant’s benefit from the conduct concerned.
(2)But if the defendant shows that the available amount is less than that benefit the recoverable amount is—
(a)the available amount, or
(b)a nominal amount, if the available amount is nil.
(3)But if section 6(6) applies the recoverable amount is such amount as—
(a)the court believes is just, but
(b)does not exceed the amount found under subsection (1) or (2) (as the case may be).
(4)In calculating the defendant’s benefit from the conduct concerned for the purposes of subsection (1), any property in respect of which—
(a)a recovery order is in force under section 266, or
(b)a forfeiture order is in force under section 298(2),
must be ignored.
(5)If the court decides the available amount, it must include in the confiscation order a statement of its findings as to the matters relevant for deciding that amount.
