The respondent failed to discharge the statutory onus under s.37F(6); the jury found he was owner and knew illegal immigrants were on board; no mitigating circumstances shown (value, lender, sinking or assistance to authorities) justified non-forfeiture, therefore the court ordered the vessel forfeited to the Crown.
