If an individual is found to have benefited from the Proceeds of Crime, then the Courts have the power to confiscate money and property from that individual. The Court will first set the “Benefit Amount” and looks at the individual’s finances to identify the “Available Amount” (if any) to seek to recover.
The individual can challenge both amounts but must either prove he has not benefited to the extent alleged by the Prosecuting Authority or does not have the “Available Amount” as suggested.
We have specialist knowledge of applying to the High Court for a Certificate of Inadequacy (i.e. varying the value of ‘property’) and negotiating with the Prosecuting Authority and Police Financial Investigators with a view to minimising both the ‘benefit’ and ‘available’ amounts.
We are in a position to receive new instructions in respect of confiscation. It may be the case that legal aid can be transferred from original instructed solicitors or private rates can be negotiated.
The court can only hand down a maximum time to pay of 12 weeks.
Thank you, your company is the best. I will always recommend you. The barristers were also great! your staff James and the lady were very pleasant and helpful. Please say a big thank you to everyone for me. All the Best!
I am very grateful to Amosu Robinshaw and was very impressed with your staff, level of service and the advice you gave me. It made a difficult situation clearer and enabled us to resolve the business position we found ourselves in. I would certainly recommend you in future to all my friends and business contacts.
I would like to thank you for all your help in this complex family matter. Your support has made a big difference and I have gained a lot more than I hoped for – thank you again.
Very well informed, treated me well with respect & gave their honest opinions with no make up attached to it.
