- Case number
- HCAL897/2023
Although statutory detention existed throughout, balancing Hardial Singh factors against a detention of 494 days and realistic further delay for anticipated judicial review, and having found the Director acted with diligence but the applicant contributed to delay, continued detention was no longer reasonable; habeas corpus ordered and applicant released on recognizance.
