Both rulings were by consent order, where the parties propose the settlement to the court.

Named in the B.C. Civil Forfeiture Office suit were Vancouver resident Maxim Poon Wong, Ritzy Product Co. Ltd., and 552888 B.C. Ltd. The numbered company, of which Wong was one of two directors, owned adjacent units in the commercial building. Wong is the sole director of Ritzy and the owner of the pickup and the Corvette Stingray.

In the court proceedings, Wong was accused of being involved in drug trafficking and money laundering, which he denied. The court action claimed the commercial properties and vehicles were financed by the drug trafficking and money laundering, which Wong also denied.
