The court exercised its discretion under the Proceeds of Crime Act and ordered a pecuniary penalty equal to the respondent's half-share in the jointly owned property at 5 Rawene Avenue, Westmere, finding no compelling grounds (including undue hardship or BORA s9 proportionality) to reduce the penalty; the Official Assignee is to sell the property to satisfy the penalty, with a family option to purchase the half-share for NZD 600,000, and costs to be paid from proceeds.
