General exceptions
344.Paragraph 16 sets out exceptions as to when property that would by virtue of paragraphs 11 to 15 be earmarked as terrorist property is not to be treated as such. The effect of paragraph 12 is that where, for example, someone is given a car in return for action of a terrorist nature, and then sells the car to someone else, the car continues to be earmarked as terrorist property. This is qualified by sub-paragraph (1) which provides that if the purchaser paid full value for the car, and was unaware of its terrorist origins, the property is no longer earmarked. However, the money paid for the car continues to be earmarked by virtue of sub-paragraph (7).
345.Sub-paragraphs (2) to (6) set out other circumstances in which terrorist property will cease to be earmarked: where a claimant obtains property from a defendant in civil proceedings which are based on the defendant’s criminal conduct (as defined in paragraph 19), and the property would otherwise be earmarked; where a payment is made following a compensation or restitution order under the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000, and the sum or property received would otherwise be earmarked; where an amount is paid in accordance with a restitution order made by the court under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and the amount would otherwise be earmarked; and where restitution is required to be made by the Financial Services Authority under that Act paying an amount which would otherwise be earmarked.
