The seizure and removal of material for later examination is permitted in certain circumstances. Persons appearing to have an interest in the seized property may apply under section 59 of the 2001 Act to the Crown Court, or in certain circumstances the High Court, for the return of the property.\nRule 3 adds a new rule 38 to the 1982 Rules governing the procedure for applications made under section 59 of the 2001 Act. Such applications may be heard in chambers.",
