[2008] EWCA Crim 806

A confiscation order made against an offender who had pleaded guilty to receiving social security benefits by making false claims about his capital assets was just and lawful notwithstanding that before the order was made he had voluntarily repaid the benefits that he had received. It was not an abuse that he might have to pay twice over.
