Application dismissed because (1) secretary's affidavit was competent and absence of chairman's affidavit did not prejudice Applicant; (2) failure to produce minutes did not attract adverse inference on the facts and did not amount to procedural non-compliance under POCA; (3) there was no credible evidence Applicant was a whistleblower or entitled to immunity; and (4) section 15B of POCA bars merits review of the Board's decision so only procedural defects could invalidate detention and none were established.
