The defendant appealed a confiscation order, claiming that the section, when it required two or more offences, required the offences to be separate offences. In this case a conviction for producing a false document which was used in on of the other offences was too closely involved.
Held: It was not necessary for the offences to have separate origins or be based on separate allegations. The order stood.
