Proceedings apply the preponderance of probabilities standard in adjudicating alleged unauthorised inward remittances and breaches of duties by authorised persons; the tribunal found contraventions established by corroborative bank credit entries and TT references and upheld liability for the transfers identified.

The tribunal adjusted seized cash against penalty and reduced cumulative penalties on the company and individual to specified amounts, while upholding the confiscation order.
