Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Bill
Part 2 Criminal proceeds and instruments forfeiture regime
Time unknown
It is good to take a call in relation to Part 2 in the Committee stage.
I agree with Lynne Pillay that the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Bill stands for a great purpose—that crime should not pay. Part 2 achieves that purpose. It puts it into play and implements it. Part 2 is also the lion’s share of the bill—approximately 220 clauses. They provide for the restraining orders and for the civil forfeiture orders.
Progress reported.
Report adopted.
