Applying s.56's discretionary power judicially and weighing the statute's policy against the concrete facts, the Court found that Wayfoong Credit Ltd. was blameless, the vehicle's connection to the offence was minimal (mere site of arrest), the company would suffer disproportionate commercial prejudice and there was no basis to infer complicity; accordingly, in all the circumstances it would be unjust to order forfeiture and the vehicle must be released to the legal owner.
