On an application for an interim receiving order under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, s 246, the Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) must first establish a good arguable case that a certain kind of unlawful conduct occurred, and then a good arguable case that property was obtained through that kind of unlawful conduct.

However, the ARA is not required to establish a good arguable case that any property was obtained through a specific criminal offence.
