[2008] EWCA Crim 2648

A judge making confiscation orders in relation to offences contained in two separate indictments had been correct to treat them as two sets of proceedings, as the word "proceedings" in the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 s.6(2)(a) meant proceedings under a single indictment. Therefore she had correctly made two orders: one under the Criminal Justice Act 1988 in relation to offences committed before the commencement of the 2002 Act, and another under the 2002 Act in relation to an offence committed after that date.
