Applicant is lawfully detained under a current warrant of committal dated 18 April 2011 for a four year sentence; the habeas corpus procedure is unsuitable to relitigate convictions and convictions must be challenged by appeal or judicial review; interlocutory relief, oral evidence and a jury trial were not justified under the Act or practice, therefore the habeas corpus application is dismissed and interim relief denied.
