    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCC196/2020

    Emails downloaded directly from Gmail by an officer without forensic safeguards, contemporaneous recording or proper chain of custody were not shown to be authentic or reliably derived from the July 13, 2019 exercise; s22A hurdles could not be met and the manner of obtaining and using the emails produced unfairness to the defendant, therefore the application to adduce P48 was refused and none of the emails admitted.
