Regina v Iqbal; Revenue and Customs Prosecution Office (RCPO) v Iqbal: CACD 3 Feb 2010

The RCPO appealed against refusal of permission to continue their application for a confiscation order. The defendant had been convicted of conspiracy to supply class A drugs, but said that the application was now out of time.
Held: The appeal failed. Where a confiscation order application was to be made outside the two year time limit, any application for an extension of time to allow this must in the absence of a court order allowing postponment made within the time limit, itself be made within the time limit.
