- Case number
- HCAL1347/2023
The Director/Secretary met the burden to justify continued detention: detention was authorised by statute, the Director acted diligently to obtain travel documentation and arrange repatriation, a travel permit was issued and removal was imminent; the applicant's non-cooperation increased the risk of absconding; medical care was available—therefore the period of detention (197 days) remained lawful and the habeas corpus application was dismissed.
