76 Criminal benefit declaration – unlawfully acquired 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 that:
(a) the property, service, advantage or benefit described in the
application is a constituent of the respondent's wealth; and
(b) the property, service, advantage or benefit was not lawfully
acquired.
(2) If the respondent has been convicted or is taken to have been
convicted of a forfeiture offence, or it is more likely than not that the
respondent is or has been involved in the commission of a forfeiture
offence, it is presumed that the property, service, advantage or
benefit was not lawfully acquired unless the respondent establishes
the contrary.
