A-18.1 - Sustainable Forest Development Act

Full text
217. On application by a person claiming entitlement to the seized timber or to the proceeds of its sale, a judge must order that the timber or proceeds be released to the applicant if the judge is convinced that the person is entitled to the timber or proceeds and that the course of justice will not be hindered by the release.
Five clear days’ notice must be served on the public servant or, if applicable, on the prosecutor, on the defendant and on the person from whom the timber was seized if that person is not the applicant.
The release order is enforceable at the expiry of a 30-day period; however, the parties may waive this period.
