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:

  1. Notice of possessory interest
  2. Administrative forfeiture
  3. Civil forfeiture proceedings in the Supreme Court of British Columbia

Defendant has opportunity to dispute the action at all three stages.
