Disposal of prohibited timber
14.—(1)  The court before which a prosecution is held for an offence committed in respect of timber which has been subjected to a prohibitory notice under section 13 may, if it is satisfied that an offence has been committed in respect of the timber and notwithstanding that no person may have been convicted thereof, order the forfeiture or destruction of the timber, as to the court thinks just.
(2)  Any timber that has been forfeited under subsection (1) shall be sold by the Board and the proceeds of the sale thereof shall be paid into the Consolidated Fund, less any sum that may be certified by the Chairman of the Board as having been incurred by the Board in effecting the prohibition under section 13 and in carrying out the sale under this section.
(3)  If the court does not make an order under subsection (1) or if no prosecution has been initiated in respect of any timber that has been subjected to prohibition under section 13 within two months of the imposition of the prohibition, the prohibition shall be deemed to have been lifted.
