William Cowan v Sir Paul Condon – Metropolitan Police Service: CA 31 Aug 1999

The fact that a vehicle could count as ‘premises’ for the purposes of the Act, did not mean that that could or should restrict the ability of the police to impound a motor vehicle. There was no power to seize premises, but that could not imply that a moveable object was not subject to seizure.
