The Law Society of Western Australia is offering a CPD (CLE) seminar on Confiscations and Proceeds of Crime to be held in Perth on 6 November 2014. This seminar will include a detailed look at both the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (Cth) and the Criminal Property Confiscation Act 2000 (WA).
The seminar will be chaired by the Hon Justice Hall. Darryl Ryan from Chelmsford Legal will give an overview of each Act. Michael Seaman from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions Western Australia will focus specifically on the rights of third party claimants under the Criminal Property Confiscation Act 2000 (WA).
My session will explore the typical interlocutory steps in litigating a matter under either the Criminal Property Confiscation Act 2000 (WA) or the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (Cth). I am approaching the issues from the perspectives of lawyers acting for a suspect or a third party (be it a spouse, a bank, a business partner, a tenant or otherwise). Rather than focusing on what the legislation says, I will be looking at what you need to do. For instance: tips on taking initial instructions, and how to get paid.
