The court found the grounds of the detention/suspended detention order did not aver that the applicant was a member of a 'substantial body of persons' engaged in trafficking as required by the Long Title, Preamble and Article 149 read into s6(1) DDSPMA; further unresolved contradictions in respondents' affidavits concerning compliance with paragraph 3(2)(c) DDSPMA entitled the applicant to the benefit. Those deficiencies vitiated the legality of the order and justified allowing the judicial review application.
