New South Wales Crime Commission v Le

The New South Wales Crime Commission sought the forfeiture of assets from Le pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. The court was asked to determine the nature and value of the assets that were to be forfeited, as well as the appropriate orders to be made under the Act. The legal issues before the court included the interpretation of the provisions of the Proceeds of Crime Act, the standard of proof required to establish that the assets were proceeds of crime, and the appropriate relief to be granted in the circumstances.

The court considered the evidence presented by the New South Wales Crime Commission and the submissions made by the parties. It held that the burden of proof was on the New South Wales Crime Commission to establish that the assets were proceeds of crime on the balance of probabilities. The court found that the New South Wales Crime Commission had established that the assets were proceeds of crime and that the appropriate orders were to be made under the Proceeds of Crime Act. The court ordered that the assets be forfeited to the Crown and that the orders be made by consent.

The court made orders that the assets be forfeited to the Crown and that the orders be made by consent. The orders included the forfeiture of real property, bank accounts, and other assets. The court also made orders for the payment of costs and for the release of information to the New South Wales Crime Commission. The orders were made by consent and were not appealed.
