Properly earmarked as terrorist property
     12.  - (1) Property obtained through terrorism is earmarked as terrorist property.

Tracing property

(b) he obtains other property in place of it,

the other property represents the original property.

Mixing property
     14.  - (1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies if a person's property which is earmarked as terrorist property is mixed with other property (whether his property or another's).

(a) a person disposes of property earmarked as terrorist property, and

(b) the person who obtains it on the disposal does so in good faith, for value and without notice that it was earmarked.

the property may not be followed into that person's hands and, accordingly, it ceases to be earmarked.

    (2) If - 

(a) in pursuance of a judgment in civil proceedings (whether in the Territory or elsewhere), the defendant makes a payment to the plaintiff or the plaintiff otherwise obtains property from the defendant,

(b) the plaintiff's claim is based on the defendant's criminal conduct, and

(c) apart from this sub-paragraph, the sum received, or the property obtained, by the plaintiff would be earmarked as terrorist property,

the property ceases to be earmarked.

    (3) If - 

(a) under any law in force in the Territory, a payment is made to any person, or a person otherwise obtains property, in pursuance of a compensation order or a restitution order made in respect of loss or injury suffered in consequence of criminal conduct or other misconduct, and

the property ceases to be earmarked.

    (4) Where - 

(a) a person enters into a transaction to which paragraph 13(2) applies, and

(b) the disposal is one to which sub-paragraph (1) applies,

this paragraph does not affect the question whether (by virtue of paragraph 13(2)) any property obtained on the transaction in place of the property disposed of is earmarked.

(or to both); and references to the property disposed of are references to any property obtained on the disposal.

    (2) If a person grants an interest in property of his which is earmarked as terrorist property, the question whether the interest is also earmarked is to be determined in the same manner as it is on any other disposal of earmarked property.

    (3) A person who makes a payment to another is to be treated as making a disposal of his property to the other, whatever form the payment takes.

    (4) Where a person's property passes to another under a will or intestacy or by operation of law, it is to be treated as disposed of by him to the other.

    (5) A person is only to be treated as having obtained his property for value in a case where he gave unexecuted consideration if the consideration has become executed consideration.
