The court exercised its discretion to grant detention orders under s32(4)(b) because the public interest in securing material evidence for an important criminal trial outweighed the respondents' interests in prompt repatriation, given there was a reasonable prospect the respondents could give evidence within the next 12 weeks and detention should be limited to that necessary period.
