Reclaiming Exhibits, Documents or Property

(a) Any party or any interested person may apply to the court for an order permitting return to the party of exhibits offered or admitted in evidence, or any other documents or property displayed or considered in connection with the action. The application must be filed after: (1) the expiration of the time for appeal; (2) the determination of an appeal; or (3) the determination of a proceeding following an appeal and the expiration of the time for any appeal from that determination, whichever is later. (b) The court may grant the application on conditions as it deems appropriate, including but not limited to the substitution of a copy, photograph, drawing, facsimile, or other reproduction of the original exhibit, document or property, or the posting of a bond that the exhibit, document or property will be returned to the court if the court later finds it necessary.
