New South Wales Crime Commission v Vu

The appellant, New South Wales Crime Commission, sought to obtain restraining orders against Vu in the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The Commission claimed that Vu was engaged in organised criminal activities, including money laundering and drug trafficking, and that restraining orders were necessary to prevent him from continuing these activities. The orders sought included restrictions on Vu's movements, associations, and communications. The application was made ex-parte, without notice to Vu.

The court was required to determine whether the Commission had made out a case sufficient to justify the making of such orders. The legal issues included whether there was sufficient evidence to establish that Vu was engaged in the activities alleged, and whether the orders sought were proportionate and necessary to prevent the continuation of these activities. The court also had to consider the impact of the orders on Vu's rights and whether there were any alternative measures that could be used to achieve the same objectives.

The court found that the Commission had made out a case sufficient to justify the making of restraining orders. It held that the evidence presented was sufficient to establish that Vu was engaged in the activities alleged, and that the orders sought were proportionate and necessary to prevent the continuation of these activities. The court also found that the impact of the orders on Vu's rights was justified in the circumstances, and that there were no alternative measures that could be used to achieve the same objectives. Accordingly, the court made the orders sought by the Commission.

The court ordered that Vu be restrained from engaging in certain activities, including money laundering and drug trafficking, and from associating with certain individuals. The orders also restricted Vu's movements and communications, and required him to report to the police on a regular basis.
