- Case number
- HCAL1238/2023
The application was dismissed because the court found HS1 and HS4 satisfied and, on balancing HS2 and HS3 against the roughly 233 days detention, the detention remained reasonable and lawful: the applicant materially contributed to delay by refusing to cooperate in obtaining travel documents, the NRC obstacle was removed, and there was a significant risk of reoffending and absconding warranting continued detention to facilitate removal.
