Confiscation relates to trial on indictment
In Crown Prosecution Service v Croydon Crown Court [2015] the Divisional Court ruled it had no jurisdiction to hear an application for judicial review of the decision of a Crown Court judge to refuse to extend time to hear confiscation proceedings. The Crown Court's administration of confiscation proceedings clearly related to trial on indictment and the Divisional Court therefore had no jurisdiction.
