Police have been ordered to release back to Kim Dotcom clones of computers and electronic devices seized in 2012 from his Coatesville mansion.
The Court of Appeal ruled in February this year that search warrants of Dotcom's multimillion-dollar property, and the home of his computer programmer Bram van der Kolk, executed at the request of the United States Department of Justice which is seeking to extradite them on online piracy charges, was legal.
Now, the Court of Appeal has ruled that New Zealand Police "must as soon as reasonably practicable" release clones of any device back to Dotcom and his co-accused.
Either party can also apply to the Court of Appeal at short notice if further orders are necessary.
