1. In Attorney General v. F. Gardiner, Esq., Permanent Magistrate [1987] HKLRD 11，the Court of Appeal held that forfeiture proceedings were not civil, but quasi-criminal because they were punitive in nature. I therefore rule that Part III of the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal Ordinance, Cap. 484 applies to the present matter.
