Northern Irish Court of Appeal refuses leave to seek judicial review of bail condition requiring consent to search of premises without warrant, where condition had been removed prior to application for leave.
Judicial review - application for leave - bail conditions - police bail - requirement that applicant consent to search of premises without warrant - suspicion that drugs present on premises - arrest on drugs offence - Part III of PACE - impugned condition withdrawn - whether point merely academic - whether court should proceed to determine issue - delay - absence of affidavit sworn by applicant - whether bail conditions could be used to coerce the surrender of a specific right - challenge to condition at earlier stage.
