Bates now claims that he is “aware (and will prove) that those images had been “exhaustively” examined (unlawfully) by Avon and Somerset police in September 2008 and were identified as being within active and archived case”. Therefore, he goes on, Mr Port has either been “seriously misled by his own officers”, or presented a misleading and “emotive story for public consumption”.

Last September, police obtained a warrant and raided Mr Bates' home, but the High Court deemed the warrant to be "unlawful" because much of the material seized attracted legal privilege or was confidential. But crucially, when the order was made on May 8 to return the material, no deadline was set.
So yesterday, Lord Justice Stanley Burnton, sitting with Mr Justice Wilkie and Mr Justice Calvert Smith at London's High Court, dismissed the allegations that Mr Port had breached the order and been in contempt of court. However, Lord Justice Burnton criticised the chief constable's behaviour.
"The chief constable had an obligation to comply," he said. "He did not do so. Instead, he gave an interview to The Sun that gave grounds that he might indeed not comply with the order. It's regrettable in a case involving a chief constable the matter has come this far but in my judgment this is not a case where there is an enforceable committal."
