Redknapp v Commissioner of the City of London Police and another [2008] EWHC 1177 (Admin); [2008] WLR (D) 179

“A warrant authorising the entry and search of premises issued under s 8 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 was unlawful if the application did not identify which of the four conditions specified in s 8(3) of the Act was being relied on. Further, the execution of such a warrant was invalidated by a failure to satisfy the requirements of s 16(5) of the Act, which provided that when premises were occupied, the officer executing the warrant must not only produce the warrant to the person in occupation, but also supply him or her with a copy of it.”
