Explanatory Note
This order provides that, subject to certain modifications, the
Drug Trafficking (Recovery of Proceeds) Ordinance (Cap. 405) applies
to an order made by a court in a designated country or territory for
the purpose of recovering payments or other rewards received in
connection with drug trafficking or their value, and to proceedings
which have been or are to be instituted in a designated country or
territory and may result in such an order being made there. It also
provides, in paragraph 7, that the value of any property recovered
in a designated country or territory in response to a request by the
Government of Hong Kong for assistance in the enforcement of an
order is to be treated as reducing the amount payable in Hong Kong
under a confiscation order made by the High Court or District Court.
2. Paragraph 3 of the order designates the countries and
territories listed in Schedule 1 for the purposes of enforcement of
confiscation orders, and applies the provisions of the Ordinance,
with modifications, to confiscation orders of courts in those
countries and territories and proceedings which may lead to such an
order being made. The modifications to the Ordinance are set out in
Schedule 2 to the order, and Schedule 3 sets out in full the
Ordinance as so modified.
