This case, involving four different claims, concerns the interrelationship between (a) claims for Judicial Review where the complaint is about the legality of the issue and execution of search warrants and the relief sought is the return of material seized by the police under those warrants, and (b) applications or potential applications by the Police to the Crown Court under s.59 of the 2001 Act for retention of the property which has been seized. The solicitors in particular asserted legal professional privilege.
