Where a judgment, ruling or settlement providing for confiscation has not been enforced in part or in full upon the death of a convicted person, the Director of Public Prosecutions may require a judge of the district court in the convicted person’s last venue to make a ruling to the effect that the provisions on confiscation are to be enforced providing that the confiscation is due to gains by the convicted person derived from an offence or concerns items that came into being through an unlawful action. In such a case the judge may alter the provision on confiscation by substituting confiscation of a specific sum of money for confiscation of an item.
