1. Part IVA of the Drug Trafficking (Recovery of Proceeds) Ordinance (Cap. 405) ("the DTROP") provides for the detention and forfeiture of cash which is brought into or taken out of Hong Kong and which is connected with drug trafficking. This appeal raises a short point on the use which may be made of hearsay evidence when an order of the court is sought to sanction the forfeiture of cash which has been seized.
