bjbj ]~'G ___ Before: Hon Coleman J in Chambers (Open to Public) Date of Decision: 11 November 2022 _____________ D E C I S I O N _____________ The Applicant acts in person. Whilst he has filed the form for an application for writ of habeas corpus under RHC Order 54 rule 1, the address for service provided in the form is a residential unit in a public housing estate. Nor does he state in the supporting affirmation that he is currently detained anywhere and/or by what authority. Indeed, the Respondent identified R gP YMb'Y @gKb application for writ of habeas corpus, the Applicant has to set out the nature of the restraint imposed upon him under Order 54 rule 1(3). This has not been done. The reference in the affirmation to the granting of approval bears some resemblance to a judicial review leave application. But the requirements for an application for leave under Order 53 rule 3, such as the use of the Form 86, the setting out of grounds, and so forth are obviously not met. In any event, the application form together with ic]WIB h sl gdo/ gdo/ gdxG yqhbY hkOq gda! gd;) zvrnrnf^fnV hbRU hkOq hpV] gdE3x gd w gdkOq h_ 1 h0A> hh*P the supporting affirmation fail to disclose an application which could be properly adjudicated by the judicial review Court. The application is dismissed with no order as to costs.
