“The High Court ruled the authorities could examine the seized material for the defence of national security and also to investigate whether Mr Miranda, 28, is a person who is or has been concerned with the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.” (my emphasis)

At the same time…

But the ruling also meant that data cannot be used for the purposes of criminal investigation - although the court had previously heard that the Met had launched a criminal investigation after analysing the seized data.

In other words, the court says “You can look at the documents and decide if they’re of a sensitive nature…you just can’t do anything about it.”
