[2008] EWCA Civ 723
The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 s.18(1) was not to be interpreted so as to make a search lawful where a police officer had a reasonable belief that the premises searched had been owned or occupied by the arrested person; if there had been no occupation or control of the premises by the suspect the search would be unlawful.
