Balancing the strong public interest in securing continuity and completion of a major criminal trial and ensuring all relevant evidence is available against the respondents' liberty interests, the Court held that detention for a further period not exceeding 21 days from 8 October 1993 was a reasonable and lawful limitation necessary to achieve the purpose of ensuring witnesses would be available to give evidence within a foreseeable and reasonable time.
