Addressing the Effect of Delay in Confiscation Proceedings

Introduction

As cases take longer than ever to get through the court system, the effect of delay on matters at confiscation stage can have a profound effect on both the criminal benefit figure and the available amount.

This virtual classroom seminar explores what creates such delay, what effect it can have on the proceedings, as well as how it can affect the key figures in a confiscation order, the criminal benefit and available amount.
