Once cash is seized authorities can apply to the Magistrates’ Court for the money to be detained for up to two years or to be forfeited.  There is an onus on the individual to prove that the money did not come about as a result of criminal activity.

We understand that this type of situation is both stressful and often difficult to justify.

We are fearless in the pursuit of a just outcome and are often instructed to oppose cash detention orders and forfeiture orders.
