Making of orders by circuit judge
SCHEDULE 1 Special Procedure
4An order under this paragraph is an order that the person who appears to the circuit judge to be in possession of the material to which the application relates shall—
(a)produce it to a constable for him to take away; or
(b)give a constable access to it,
not later than the end of the period of seven days from the date of the order or the end of such longer period as the order may specify.
The paragraph provides the production-order route for special procedure material. An application concerning journalistic material must be inter partes, which materially distinguishes it from the ordinary ex parte warrant process. (see paras [34]-[36])
Applies as the production-order route requiring the person in possession of excluded material to produce it to a constable or provide access. The route is relevant to preserving judicial control over journalistic material (see paras [42]; [69]; [73]).
Applies paragraph 4 as the less intrusive production-order route against which the need for a search warrant was assessed. (see paras [18]-[20]; [31])
What each judgment says about Schedule 1, paragraph 4 is in the case-law panel in the full Act.
