237 Return of seized thing
(1) This section applies if a seized thing has some intrinsic value and is
not— (a) forfeited or transferred under subdivision 4 or 5 ; or
(b) subject
to a disposal order under division 6 .
(2) The inspector must return the
seized thing to an owner— (a) generally—at the end of 6 months after the
seizure; or
(b) if a proceeding for an offence involving the thing is started
within the 6 months—at the end of the proceeding and any appeal from the
proceeding.

the inspector must return the thing seized to an owner as soon as practicable
after the inspector is satisfied— (a) its continued retention as evidence is
no longer necessary; and
(b) its continued retention is not necessary to
prevent it being used to continue, or repeat, an offence against this Act; and
(c) it is lawful for the owner to possess it.
