Government of Seychelles v Padayachy (MC 97 of 2023) [2024] SCSC 194 (28 October 2024)

The application was denied because it was prosecuted by an incompetent party; only the FCIU has statutory capacity to bring such applications under section 4 of POCCCA. The Government of Seychelles, as applicant, lacked standing. Substantively, the evidence did not establish that the entirety of the specified property was proceeds of crime, and the Respondent provided plausible explanations for at least part of the funds.

Hathor Labs v Peken Global Limited & Anor (MC 13 of 2023) [2024] SCSC 116 (30 April 2024)

The application to vary or discharge the interlocutory order can be brought as a standalone matter by a third party under section 4(3) of POCCA; the applicant has standing as 'any other person'; however, the application is premature as it effectively seeks a disposal order under section 5, which is not available at this stage; the affidavit is not defective as the jurat follows the last paragraph as required.
