Director of Public Prosecutions (The) v Lincoln Hugh Asquith Whyte, Janet Dawn Foster, Herbert White and George Barbowell

Application to register foreign forfeiture order-relevant considerations for the Central Authority and the Court-circumstances when appropriate to apply repealed legislation-effect of s. 25(2) of the Interpretation Act-preservation of status quo relevant to the time period when repealed legislation in effect-other interpretation would precipitate absurdity and uncertainty-no contrary intention shown in current Act to negate general principles applicable to repealed legislation-subsequent enforcement action pursued under POCA-no conflict with reliance on DOFPA for registration of foreign order
