Facts of the Case

Background

The Prosecutor General issued summons seeking civil forfeiture of property, relying on both the Money Laundering Act for property acquired after June 2013 and the repealed Serious Offences Act for property acquired in 2009-2010. The court intervened on its own motion to address the legal competence of using the repealed statute.
