These rules do not apply to an application for a production order under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 requiring a person to produce or give access to journalistic material: see paragraph 15A of Schedule 1 to the Act(18).

For all the relevant terms under which these orders can be made, see the provisions listed in rule 47.4.

Under section 8 of the Senior Courts Act 1981(19), a High Court judge, a Circuit judge, a Recorder, a qualifying judge advocate and a District Judge (Magistrates’ Courts) each may act as a Crown Court judge.

When the relevant provisions of the Courts Act 2003 come into force, a District Judge (Magistrates’ Courts) will have the same powers as a Circuit judge under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and under the Terrorism Act 2000.

Under section 66 of the Courts Act 2003(20), in criminal cases a High Court judge, a Circuit judge, a Recorder and a qualifying judge advocate each has the powers of a justice of the peace who is a District Judge (Magistrates’ Courts).

By section 341 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002(21), an investigation under Part 8 of the Act may be—

(a)an investigation into (i) whether a person has benefited from criminal conduct, (ii) the extent or whereabouts of such benefit, (iii) the available amount in respect of that person, or (iv) the extent or whereabouts of realisable property available for satisfying a confiscation order made in respect of that person (‘a confiscation investigation’);

(b)an investigation into whether a person has committed a money laundering offence (‘a money laundering investigation’);

(c)an investigation into whether property is recoverable property or associated property (as defined by section 316 of the 2002 Act(22)), or into who holds the property or its extent or whereabouts (‘a civil recovery investigation’);

(d)an investigation into the derivation of cash detained under the 2002 Act, or into whether such cash is intended to be used in unlawful conduct (‘a detained cash investigation’);

(e)an investigation into the derivation of property detained under the 2002 Act, or into whether such property is intended to be used in unlawful conduct (‘a detained property investigation’);

(f)an investigation into the derivation of money held in an account in relation to which an account freezing order made under the 2002 Act has effect, or into whether such money is intended to be used in unlawful conduct (‘a frozen funds investigation’);

(g)an investigation for the purposes of Part 7 of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009(23) (criminal memoirs, etc.) into whether a person is a qualifying offender or has obtained exploitation proceeds from a relevant offence, or into the value of any benefits derived by such a person from such an offence or the amount available (‘an exploitation proceeds investigation’).

Under section 343 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002(24)

(a)any Crown Court judge may make an order to which this Section applies for the purposes of a confiscation investigation, a money laundering investigation, a detained cash investigation, a detained property investigation or a frozen funds investigation;

(b)only a High Court judge may make such an order for the purposes of a civil recovery investigation or an exploitation proceeds investigation (and these rules do not apply to an application to such a judge in such a case).

As well as governing procedure on an application to the Crown Court, under the following provisions rules may govern the procedure on an application to an individual judge—

(a)paragraph 15A of Schedule 1 to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984;

(b)paragraph 10 of Schedule 5, paragraph 14 of Schedule 5A, paragraph 4 of Schedule 6 and paragraph 5 of Schedule 6A to the Terrorism Act 2000; and

(c)sections 351, 362, 369, 375 and 446 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.]

A Circuit judge has power to punish a person who disobeys a production order under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 as if that were a contempt of the Crown Court: see paragraph 15 of Schedule 1 to the Act(29).

Disobedience to an explanation order, to a disclosure order or to a customer information order under the Terrorism Act 2000 is an offence: see paragraph 14 of Schedule 5, paragraph 11 of Schedule 5A and paragraph 1(3) of Schedule 6, to the Act.

If a person fails to comply with a further information order under the Terrorism Act 2000 or under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 the magistrates’ court may order that person to pay an amount not exceeding £5,000, which order may be enforced as if the sum due had been adjudged to be paid by a conviction: see section 22B(8), (9) of the Terrorism Act 2000(31) and section 339ZH((8), (9) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002(32).]
