The court was satisfied on the balance of probabilities under s50 that the $82,610 cash was tainted property because it was found alongside controlled drugs and dealing paraphernalia, supported by communications and the respondent's history of drug-dealing and absence of legitimate income; no applicable exception in s50(4) prevented mandatory forfeiture, so the Court must and did order forfeiture.
