Leave to apply for judicial review was granted and, on balance of convenience including wider public interest and given an expedited timetable for substantive hearing, the court continued the interim injunction restraining execution of the search warrants until determination of the judicial review; the limited prejudice to the prosecution and the need to protect applicants' access to justice justified continuation rather than accepting the proposed undertaking permitting unlocking and sealed imaging.
