They confiscate assets obtain from "prostitution" in Canada its a reverse Onus of proof for goods obtain from crime a partial judgment of a Quebec court below confiscating assets obtain from "running a escort agency "
68] Even as prosecutors argued before the undersigned on November 21, 2002, the Supreme Court handed down judgment in the case, Quebec PG c. Laroche, 2000 A.C.S. 74 and stated: "The application for forfeiture is necessarily the terms of an alternative created by. 462.37 (1) and 462.38 (2). These correspond to different legal situations. Indeed, the confiscation order is issued, the if necessary, following the standards of evidence that differ depending on the legal situation warrants. ""Defining more closely the subject of confiscation, s. 462.37 (1) requires proof that the property is derived from the offense with which the defendant was convicted. However, this demonstration takes place in accordance with the lower standard of proof on a balance of probabilities. by cons, in the case of a confiscation order requested under s. 462.38 (2), the Criminal Code does not require proof of attachment of property crime referred by conviction. At the relevant time, it was enough that the prosecutor establishes that goods coming from other designated offenses or other offenses of organized crime, but then according to the higher standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. ""The presence of these separate standards of proof inevitably affects the functioning of mechanisms for authorizing seizure and restraint orders and revisions. At these stages, the judge was forced to a foresight exercise. He must assess, the standard of probability, if a confiscation order would be issued under either ss. 462.27 (1) and 462.38 (2). as the standards applicable to the order of confiscation of evidence depends their source, so it is important that further specify the provision under which it would require confiscation and the legal and factual basis for it. Against this background, as in this case, situations arise where, in connection with different goods, confiscation orders are likely to be issued under the various provisions of the Criminal Code. was even imagine situations where the enabling provisions would be invoked alternatively or in the alternative to each other.
