- High Court
On the balance of probabilities the Court was satisfied the respondent had been engaged in significant criminal activity and had derived an unlawful benefit; therefore under s50 assets identified as tainted were forfeited to the Crown and under s55 a profit forfeiture order was made for the stated value with the maximum recoverable amount reduced by assets forfeited; immediate sale orders were justified to prevent depreciation and mounting storage costs; amendments to include subsequently seized property were permitted under s47.
