in force
  until the application for a forfeiture order is finalised, and until any forfeiture order that is made is satisfied.

appearance referred to in paragraph 4 above.
  6) If you enter an appearance in terms of the order you will be entitled to be given 14 days' notice of the
application by the applicant for a forfeiture order in respect of the property.
   7) If you fail to enter an appearance in terms of the order or to comply with the above requirements, you will
not be given notice of the application for a forfeiture order and you will not be entitled to appear at the hearing of
the application. In such a case, the court may grant a default order forfeiting the property to the state under
section 53 of the POCA.

legitimate rights or interests), on 3 days' notice in urgent instances and at least 7 days' notice in other instances
to the applicant, and within 8 days of becoming aware of the order, apply for reconsideration of the order.
   9) You are specifically advised that even if you intend to apply for reconsideration of the preservation order in
this case, you must, in addition, comply with paragraphs 4 and 5 above if you intend to oppose the forfeiture
application at a later date. Failure to do so can result in a forfeiture order being granted against the property by
