Clause 8 - Recoverable amount
Proceeds of Crime Bill
11:45 am
Ms Helen Clark (Peterborough, Labour)
The defendant should be involved in order to ensure that assets acquired by true and honest gain are not subject to a confiscation order. Are we leaving to the defendant the whole process of determining what amount of assets will be recovered, especially given that the amount available for recovery is less than the amount enjoyed by the defendant from his criminal conduct?
