قضاء · الطعن في مذكرة التفتيشأُبطلت مذكرات تفتيش أندرو في يوليو. والشرطة لا تزال تحتفظ بالمواد المصادرةكُتب 9 أكتوبر 2026 في 2:32 م UTCشاهدالنص المفرّغ0:09On October 6th, we reported Andrew's warrant challenge was pending.0:13The court had already quashed them.0:15Police still hold the documents and electronic devices seized from his homes, and0:19their misconduct investigation continues.0:22Whether investigators can lawfully keep and examine that material is now the court0:26fight.0:26Andrew Mountbatten Winsor didn't attend the October 8th hearing at the Royal Courts0:30of Justice.0:31Mr.0:31Justice Nicholas Hilliard explained the warrant outcome publicly there.0:34The court had made its decision months earlier, on July 26th.0:37The High Court acted in July, well before the October hearing.0:41Thames Valley Police confirmed that timing in its October 8th statement.0:45Our earlier statement that the challenge was still awaiting a ruling was wrong.0:48The Recorder of London issued the warrants at the Old Bailey on February 18th.0:53Police searched the homes and arrested Andrew the following day.0:56He filed his court claim on May 18th.0:58The warrants were quashed July 22nd before the October 8th explanation.1:03Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on his 66th1:07birthday.1:08Police questioned him for 11 hours and released him under investigation.1:12Investigators are examining allegations that he shared sensitive information with1:15convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a UK trade envoy.1:19Andrew denies wrongdoing.1:20Royal Lodge, Andrew's former home in Windsor, is one of the two searched properties.1:25The other was a residence on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk.1:28The precise Norfolk residence needs care because two different farm names have been1:32used.1:32Wood Farm and Marsh Farm are different names.1:35The exact residence hasn't been settled.1:37Our earlier mention of Marsh Farm was a reported identification and shouldn't be1:41treated as a confirmed address.1:43Police sought authority under Sections 8 and 9 of the Police and Criminal Evidence1:47Act, but the warrants were granted under Section 8.1:49Hilliard concluded that lawful warrants for these searches required Section 9.1:53Police and Andrew's side agreed the warrants were unlawful.1:56Hilliard said a significant error had been made in both the application for the2:00warrants and their grant.2:01The failure reached back to the legal authority police obtained before entering the2:05homes.2:06It involved the application and the court's approval.2:08Section 9 requires police to follow a prescribed application procedure for material.2:13The law calls excluded material or special procedure material.2:17It directs them to Schedule 1 of the Act.2:19Investigators have to comply with that procedure to obtain access.2:23Hilliard also said the investigation could continue.2:26Thames Valley Police is still investigating the alleged misconduct.2:30The successful warrant challenge resolves the authority for those searches.2:34The allegation against Andrew still has to be investigated.2:37Police still have the documentary records and electronic devices taken from the2:41homes.2:42They've already made a separate application to retain that property under a2:45different legal provision.2:46Andrew opposes it.2:48So the next dispute concerns material investigators already possess.2:51Keeping the items, examining their contents, and using those contents as evidence2:56involve further legal questions.2:58Police custody alone doesn't settle those questions.3:01Andrew's lawyers are reportedly seeking to exclude evidence obtained in the searches3:05from any future trial.3:06The court hasn't decided that request.3:08Criminal barrister Chris Dawes says courts generally allow investigations to3:12continue when police could properly have obtained a warrant.3:15He also says orders returning seized material are very rare.3:19That's his assessment of legal practice.3:21The court must decide what happens to these particular items.3:24The October 8th hearing also dealt with police efforts to restrict access to the3:28court file.3:29The outcome was reportedly no restriction on access.3:33The judge didn't order the documents and devices seized from Andrew's homes to be3:37made public.3:37The court file contains papers from the legal proceedings.3:40The seized documents and devices remain with police while the separate dispute3:44continues.3:45Andrew's judicial review claim challenged the Central Criminal Court and the Chief3:49Constable of Thames Valley Police.3:51The Palace's position on October 6th was that the king wouldn't fund Andrew's legal3:55action.3:56It also said his private support for his brother shouldn't pay for it.3:59That was the position carried in our earlier report.4:02Nobody has identified who's paying for the litigation.4:05The old warrants have been quashed.4:07Police now need the court to resolve their authority over the material they hold.4:11A hearing or decision on that separate dispute is expected in 2027.4:15No exact date has been announced.اقرأ المقالالتسلسل الزمني للقصةHeyDexالمقطع القصير ↗من نقل ماذانقاط نقلتها أكثر من وسيلة إعلاميةAndrew’s arrest on suspicion of misconduct8 وسائل إعلام✓High Court ruling on the warrants’
