Key legal question
Whether the complaint challenging the seizure of the car was admissible despite the competence claim being raised only after the realization request.
Extracted holding
The challenge was inadmissible because the competence claim had to be asserted within 10 days of service of the seizure report; the appellant failed to sufficiently challenge the finding that the report had been served on 2 July 2007.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the appellant raised new factual allegations too late and did not meet the federal reasoning requirements. Since the seizure report was served in July 2007, waiting until the realization stage was untimely.
