The court found the applicant failed to prove an offence under s57(3) because s57(3) is a penalty provision, not a criminalisation provision; consequently the statutory preconditions in ss80(1),(3) and (4) were not satisfied and the court could not lawfully order forfeiture of the vehicles, so the applications were dismissed.
