Forfeiture order was quashed because section 86A(1) makes informing the court of the seizure a precondition to forfeiture and, where the offence falls within section 86A(1)(a) (as here), the court has no discretion to refrain from ordering forfeiture; the magistrate had not been informed and therefore the forfeiture was invalid.
