Proving Unlawful Conduct by Inference
Proving Unlawful Conduct by Inference
In civil recovery proceedings, it is necessary to identify the kind of unlawful conduct. Where the type of unlawful conduct is money laundering, it can be proved by inference. Langley J in ARA v Olupitan [2007] EWHC 162 (QB), at paragraph 65, stated that:
“A substantive offence of money laundering can be proved by inference from the way in which cash is dealt with and it is not necessary to prove the underlying offence which generated the cash”.
