Yes, we had one a few months back- again, following cohab fraud conviction. In our case, the client's (undeclared) husband owned the property although the client & her children lived there with him. The client was already being advised by a solicitor (and a court date had been sent) so there wasn't much we could give her in the way of advice. The solicitor was intending to examine family law to see if the client could be regarded as having a claim upon the property and was going to argue that a confiscation order was disproportionate- don't know how it panned out in the end, unfortunately.
