    DE BRUIN V R SC 9/2008

    Citation
    SC 9/2008
    Court
    Supreme Court

    De Bruin had no statutory standing to participate in the co-offender's preliminary hearing and suffered no shown real disadvantage; the 55% transfer to Delaney was void under Property (Relationships) Act s47(1) as intended to defeat the Crown, so Delaney is limited to her untainted 3.5% contribution and incidental adjustments; the Court of Appeal's costs decision was within its discretion; leave to appeal is refused.
