    HCMP3385/1993

    The court held that the prior reasons for detention remained valid and granted a limited extension of detention for all respondents until 26 November from the expiry of the current orders, while permitting the Attorney General liberty to apply on 24 November for further extension subject to filing and service of evidence by noon on 23 November; this balance preserves witness availability pending fuller argument on possible less restrictive alternatives.

    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP3366/1993

    The court granted a limited renewal of detention because the original reasons for detention remained valid and there was a reasonable prospect the respondents would give evidence in the near future; however, the renewal was limited to 26 November 1993 to permit fuller argument on proposed alternatives and to require the Attorney General to file further evidence before any further extension.
