Norman1: I am not disputing that there are and have been proceedings for civil forfeiture. I'm saying I consider it a violation of legal principles.
I am unsure of whether the link you posted refers to how cases are initiated or defended. I had an extensive discussion about this with a prominent lawyer I know a few years back, and I'm not aware of legislative changes since.
Another question is where in the process defense can take place. I can't find a certain answer. Or what evidence is sufficient to trigger an order.

Yes, BC: Civil forfeiture and associated pages describe how the cases are started and defended.
The cases can go through three stages if defendant disputes the action:
- Notice of possessory interest
- Administrative forfeiture
- Civil forfeiture proceedings in the Supreme Court of British Columbia
Defendant has opportunity to dispute the action at all three stages.
