A raid on the home of News Corp journalist Annika Smethurst was ruled as ‘invalid’ by the High Court.
Smethurst has since announced she will take a sabbatical from journalism, saying the investigation and threat of jail had taken a personal toll on her life.
News Corp and Smethurst are challenging the validity of that warrant in separate High Court proceedings.
Smethurst added that Danny Whitaker will remain as manager of the new club Macclesfield FC, who aim to compete in the North West Counties Football League next season.
The police recently decided not to pursue charges against Smethurst or any sources for the 2018 story, which revealed a proposal to expand the domestic powers of electronic intelligence agency the Australian Signals Directorate.
