58A(2)   If a pecuniary penalty order is in force.  

If a pecuniary penalty order is made against a bankrupt before the date of the bankruptcy, subsection 58(1) does not apply to any of the property of the bankrupt while the order is in force.

58A(3)   Notifying the trustee of grounds for subsection 58(1) to apply to property.  

If circumstances arise as a result of which this section no longer prevents subsection 58(1) applying to property of the bankrupt, the Director of Public Prosecutions (or the Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police, if the Commissioner is the Commonwealth proceeds of crime authority that is the responsible authority for the order under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 ) must, as soon as practicable, give the trustee written notice of the existence of the circumstances.
