The Case
Sentence Confiscation order. The Court of Appeal, Criminal Division, quashed a confiscation order imposed for the market value of a stolen sports car, which the defendant had taken for a test drive. As the defendant had not bought the car, and had not derived a benefit from his use of the car, he had not made a gain which could be subject to a confiscation order.
