The court held the applicant is estopped from relitigating the issue decided in the November 1999 judgment; the magistrate lawfully committed the applicant by reference to the prescribed form and Schedule 1 of the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance, and there was no legal duty to particularise charges or to provide further reasons beyond stating sufficient evidence; therefore the committal order and detention are lawful and the habeas corpus application is dismissed.
