Forfeiture, английский
- Потеря. конфискация.
- The effect or penalty of transgressing the laws.
- The loss of property or a privilege due to breaking a law. for example, a landlord may forfeit his or her property to the federal or state government if the landlord knows it is a drug-dealing site but fails to stop the illegal activity. likewise, a homeowner may lose his house to satisfy irs debts or if the government suspects the home was bought with money derived from criminal acts. the government may seize and sell the property at auction, often far below its fair market value, before the homeowner has been allowed the due process of a trial. if the homeowner is found not guilty, the government is only required to pay back the amount received at auction, and not the market value.
