New South Wales Crime Commission v Zaitony

In the matter of the New South Wales Crime Commission versus Zaitony, the court was asked to determine the status of proceeds of crime that had been seized from the defendant. The dispute centred on whether these proceeds were subject to a restraining order, and the court's ability to deal with such orders in principle. The case was heard in the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

The court needed to decide if there was a question of principle regarding the restraining order that would prevent it from making an order that would be effective against the defendant. The legal issue was whether the court had the power to make a restraining order under the Proceeds of Crime Act, and if the order could be made without raising a question of principle. The court also had to consider whether the restraining order would be effective against the defendant, who was currently outside the jurisdiction.

The court determined that there was no question of principle that would prevent it from making the restraining order. It found that the Proceeds of Crime Act provided the court with the necessary powers to make such an order, and that it could do so without raising a question of principle. The court also found that the restraining order would be effective against the defendant, despite his current location outside the jurisdiction. The court concluded that the restraining order would operate to prevent the defendant from dealing with the proceeds of crime, and that this was sufficient to make the order effective.

The court made a restraining order against the proceeds of crime, preventing the defendant from dealing with them. The court found that there was no question of principle that would prevent it from making such an order, and that the order would be effective against the defendant. The order was made under the authority of the Proceeds of Crime Act, and the court was satisfied that it had the necessary powers to make the order.
