The Attorney General of Ontario brought an application for a preservation order under the Civil Remedies Act, 2001, seeking to preserve $91,072 in Canadian currency and $510 in US currency seized from a suspected illegal gaming house.
The court found reasonable grounds to believe the currency constituted proceeds and/or instruments of unlawful activity, including operating a gaming house and firearm offenses.
The application was granted, and the seized funds were ordered to be preserved in an interest-bearing account until the final disposition of the application.
