- High Court
The Court approved the parties' settlement because it was consistent with the Act's purposes and the overall interests of justice: it saved time and cost, reflected the litigation risks and strength of the Commissioner's case, and proportionately recognised the limited involvement of the interested third party by returning $55,000 while forfeiting remaining restrained funds to the Crown.
