Morfitt, Regina v: CACD 25 May 2017

Application to quash a confiscation order made under section 6 of the 2002 Act after the prosecution and the defence had agreed, and presented to the judge, figures for the ‘value of the benefit’ and the ‘available amount’, which he approved. The appeal was argued on the basis that the approach adopted by the prosecution to the calculation of the benefit figure had been wrong in law.
