Assuming for present exercise of discretion that the section 13E(1) orders and section 32(4)(a) authorisations were valid, the court may in the public interest make further detention orders under section 32(4)(b) where the respondents' evidence is sufficiently important and there is a reasonable prospect they will give evidence within a reasonable time; on the evidence before the court the balance favoured detention of all but three respondents, and procedural defects such as unsealed originating motions did not nullify the applications.
