SMITH v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2017] NZHC 679

- High Court
The appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that confiscation would cause extreme hardship to him or undue hardship to another person; the foreseeable financial consequences of losing the vehicle do not meet the high threshold for extreme or undue hardship, therefore the mandatory s129 confiscation order was properly made and must be upheld.
