The Court found the delay in bringing forfeiture proceedings was justified by the need to complete examination orders and the criminal process, noting respondents had consented to multiple extensions; therefore it was not appropriate to discharge restraining orders. The Court further held that restrained assets must be preserved given the scale of offending, but that limited relief was appropriate for basic living costs and ordered continuation of the interim $800/week payment to Mrs Burgess pending further order; requests for increased payments or business funding were dismissed.
