75 Criminal benefit declaration – crime-derived property
(1) A court that is hearing an application under section 73 must declare
that the respondent has acquired a criminal benefit if it is more
likely than not:
(a) that the property, service, advantage or benefit described in
the application is a constituent of the respondent's wealth; and
(b) that the respondent is or was involved in the commission of a
forfeiture offence; and
(c) that the property, service, advantage or benefit was wholly or
partly derived or realised, directly or indirectly, as a result of
Criminal Property Forfeiture Act 2002 51
the respondent's involvement in the commission of the
forfeiture offence (whether or not the property, service,
advantage or benefit was lawfully acquired).
(2) The property, service, advantage or benefit mentioned in
subsection (1) is presumed to have been directly or indirectly
acquired as a result of the respondent's involvement in a forfeiture
offence unless the respondent establishes otherwise.
