Paolo, Regina (on The Application of) v City of London Magistrates Court: Admn 20 Jun 2014

The claimant challenged the issue of a warrant which the first defendant, the City of London Magistrates’ Court, issued on the application of the interested party, the Commissioner of Police for the City of London. The grounds of challenge were non-disclosure by the police to the court granting the warrant, and error on the part of the magistrate that he could have a reasonable belief that there was material at the claimant’s address which was likely to be of value to the investigation.
