(1) If deprivation is not otherwise prescribed it may not be ordered in cases under section 74(2) No 1 and section 74a if it is disproportionate to the significance of the act committed and the blameworthiness of the principal or secondary participant or of the third party in cases of section 74a.

(2) In cases under section 74 and section 74a the court shall defer the deprivation order and impose a less incisive measure if the purpose of a deprivation order can also be attained thus. Particular consideration shall be given to instructions

1.  to destroy the objects;

2.  to remove particular fittings or distinguishing marks from or otherwise modify the objects; or

3.  to dispose of the objects in a specified manner.

If the instructions are carried out the deferment order shall be rescinded; otherwise the court shall subsequently order the deprivation.

(3) If deprivation is not otherwise proscribed it may be limited to a part of the objects.
