Because the prosecution failed to demonstrate a proper, contemporaneous forensic image and reliable chain of custody for P60 (multiple undocumented accesses, incomplete/untimely hashing, no secure preserved copy of extraction and undisclosed prior attempts), the court held that the integrity of the mobile phone data could not be established and therefore none of the data recovered from P60 was admissible.
