Question juridique clé
Whether the lifting of seals over seized documents and electronic data was lawful
Solution extraite
The lifting of seals was upheld because the investigation showed sufficient suspicion and the seized materials had prima facie relevance; the appellant did not adequately identify privileged data.
Motifs extraits
In seal-lifting proceedings, the court applies the criterion of potential usefulness. In economic-crime cases, a broad initial seizure may be justified. A party opposing the seizure must cooperate and specify which items are covered by privilege; a general reference to large quantities of data is insufficient.
