The defendant had been made subject to a confiscation order. He now sought a certificate of inadequacy.
Held: The appeal failed. The procedure for obtaining a certificate of inadequacy related only to circumstances arising following the confiscation order. The Acts provided a proper avenue of appeal against the order itself, and the use of this procedure in these circumstances risked becoming an abuse of the court process.
