MILLER v CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS [2019] NZHC 621
- Citation
- [2019] NZHC 621
- Court
- High Court
The application for habeas corpus was refused because the applicant is lawfully detained pursuant to a valid Warrant of Commitment (26 February 1991), habeas corpus is not the appropriate remedy to challenge classification or conditions of detention, and the correct avenues are Parole Act processes or judicial review; prior decisions (including Bennett and the applicant's earlier 2004 proceedings) preclude relief by habeas corpus.
