Seven West Media will take the Australian Federal Police (AFP) to court over raids on its offices last week  where officers searched for evidence of payment to convicted criminal Schapelle Corby for exclusive interview rights.

The media company gave the AFP until 4pm on Monday to hand over documents it says formed the basis for performing the raids, after the AFP last week admitted it had made some basic errors in the search warrants, including putting the name of a Seven lawyer instead of Corby.

Seven West Media lodged documents at the Federal Court registry in Sydney yesterday, seeking clarification about why the search warrants were granted.
