R (Haralambous) v Crown Court at St Albans [2018] UKSC 1

A police warrant to search and seize property normally contains all of the relevant details but in the case of Haralambous this was excluded on grounds of public interest immunity. A judicial review was made against this not only in relation to the decision in the Magistrates' Court but also looking at the equivalent decisions in the Crown Court and the High Court. In this episode we consider not only the decision in this case but also the wider implications of public interest immunity for civil rights in criminal law. Music from bensound.com
