The premises referred to in sub-paragraph (6A) above are—

a

one or more sets of premises specified in the application, or

subject to sub-paragraph (6BA), any premises occupied or controlled by a person specified in the application, including such sets of premises as are so specified (in which case the application is for an “all premises warrant”).

6AB

If the application is for an all premises warrant, the justice of the peace must also be satisfied—

that there are reasonable grounds for believing that it is necessary to search premises occupied or controlled by the person in question which are not specified in the application in order to find the relevant documents, and

b

that it is not reasonably practicable to specify in the application all the premises which the person occupies or controls and which might need to be searched.

6AC

Subject to sub-paragraph (6BA), the warrant may authorise entry to and search of premises on more than one occasion if, on the application, the justice of the peace is satisfied that it is necessary to authorise multiple entries in order to achieve the purpose for which the justice issues the warrant.

6AD

If it authorises multiple entries, the number of entries authorised may be unlimited, or limited to a maximum.

6BA

A justice of the peace in Scotland may not issue—

a

an all premises warrant under this paragraph, or
