The Compatibility of Unexplained Wealth Provisions and Civil Forfeiture Regimes With Kable

Anthony Gray

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › Research › peer-review

Abstract

This article considers whether statutes providing for confiscation of unexplained wealth and similar civil forfeiture schemes might be constitutionally challenged. One possible basis would be the so-called Kable principle, providing for a strict separation of powers between different arms of government. It might be argued that a court ordering that a person's property be confiscated based on suspected (but unproven) wrongdoing is not a traditional exercise of judicial power.
