Johannesburg - An urgent application by Jacob Zuma's former attorney Julekha Mahomed relating to a recent Scorpions' raid on her home and office was granted in the Johannesburg High Court on Friday.

Judge Ismail Hussein found that the search warrants were obtained and executed unlawfully. They were set aside.

All documents, files and other objects seized from her home and office on August 18 must be returned.

Photographs taken and a copy of her computer's hard drive must be given back.

The national directorate of public prosecutions must also pay the costs of the application.
