Serious Organised Crime Agency v Szepietowski and others [2009] EWHC 344 (Ch); [2009] WLR(D) 74

The statutory exclusion regime concerning restrictions on dealing with property set out in s 252 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 was intended to be self-contained and exhaustive. There was no scope for reading into the scheme an exception for trustees, which would confine attention to assets which were vested in them in a fiduciary capacity and would leave out of account their personal assets.”
