Keyser Khan v Chief Constable of Devon & Cornwall Police
The Claimant failed to establish a real, rather than fanciful, risk that evidence would be destroyed, concealed, or tampered with by the Defendant or its officers. The Defendant provided credible assurances of preservation. Pre-action interim relief is exceptional and not justified absent imminent proceedings and clear risk. The application is misconceived and refused.
