Assuming for present purposes that the section 13E(1) orders were valid and that s32(4)(a) authorisations existed, the public interest in ensuring the proper administration of justice and securing important Crown witnesses within a reasonable time outweighed the respondents' private interest in immediate repatriation; accordingly the court granted further s32(4)(b) detention renewals (14 days from 3 December 1993) for all respondents except three where detention was unnecessary or previously agreed not to be pursued; procedural sealing defect was not fatal.
