Paragraph 11 Execution of warrants: notice

This paragraph applies if the court has issued a warrant under paragraph 6 on the basis that the requirements in paragraph 6(3) are met.

Unless giving notice would be likely to frustrate or seriously prejudice the purpose of entering the premises, a warrant does not authorise entry to any business premises unless the named officer gives at least two working days’ notice of the intended entry to the occupier of the premises.
