The application was dismissed because there was no reviewable administrative decision by the Registrar (the issue concerned enforcement of court orders), the application was time‑barred under the jurisdictional three‑month limit in Order 53 r.3(6), and the matter was academic as the lease had expired and the land reverted to the State, rendering any order futile.

The High Court allowed the preliminary objection and dismissed the habeas corpus applications as academic because the remand orders challenged had been superseded by detention orders under section 19A(1) issued by the Prevention of Crime Board (a different authority than the respondents named), rendering any writ directed at the earlier remand ineffective; additionally the court held POCA applies to non-citizens based on the Act's long title, preamble and the term 'person' in section 3(1).
