This isn't a victory
The Judge agreed with NRW’s assessment that Mr Lane had benefited financially to the tune of £78,640.68 from his crimes. However, the Judge made a confiscation order which orders Mr Lane to pay £11,280 as his available amount.
Shameful
I mean it's certainly at least a minor one. I agree that it should have been more, but as this is the first of it's kind I'll take something over nothing. Opens the doors for greater punitive legal action in the future.
