    CACV152/1996

    By majority the motion for leave to appeal to the Privy Council was dismissed because the magistrate's quashing of the warrant and the order for return of the documents resolved the live controversy over the seized documents, making the proposed appeal academic; ICAC remains free to seek special leave directly from the Privy Council.
