A murder trial accused's application to exclude mobile phone evidence was refused by the Special Criminal Court, reported on 10 December 2018.

The application followed the High Court's ruling on data-retention legislation, but the report said that ruling did not automatically exclude evidence or quash convictions. It said appeals would require case-by-case assessment.
