Re-vesting and restitution of property on conviction

(1) The operation of any order for the restitution of any property to any person made on a conviction on indictment and the operation in the case of such conviction of any law as to re- vesting of the property in stolen goods on conviction shall (unless the court before which the conviction takes place directs to the contrary in any case in which in its opinion, the title to the property is not in dispute) be suspended, (a) in any case, until the expiration of twenty-one days after the date of the conviction; and (b) in cases where notice of appeal or leave to appeal is given within twenty-one days after the determination of the appeal, and in cases where the operation of any such order is suspended until the determination of the appeal, the order shall not take effect as to the property in question if the conviction is quashed on appeal. Provision may be made by rules of court for securing the safe custody of any property pending the suspension of the operation of any such order. (2) The Court may by order annul or vary any order made on a trial for the restitution of any property to any person although the conviction is not quashed; and the order, if annulled, shall not take effect and, if varied, shall take effect as so varied.
