Balancing the significant public interest in securing admissible evidence for a major criminal trial against the respondents' personal liberty, the court found there was a reasonable prospect the respondents would give evidence within a reasonable time (assumed by court to be by end of December) and therefore lawfully exercised its discretion to order detention under s.32(4)(b) for a further period not exceeding 21 days from 8 October 1993.
