5. Please, give us an idea about the characteristics of the registration of this restriction in your system

In terms of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, there are a number of recourses available to enable the recovery of property, the purchase of which was funded by the proceeds of crime. These typically involve registration in the Register of Inhibitions rather than the Land register with the inhibitory effect explained in answer 1(e). A trustee may obtain a recovery order under the 2002 Act which in turn would allow them to complete title which could permit an update to the land register.
