- High Court
The application was dismissed because habeas corpus was not the appropriate procedure to determine contested, complex questions of mental disorder; alternatively, on the evidence (consultant psychiatrist affidavit and compliance with the Mental Health Act), the respondent established the detention was lawful. The Court also ordered suppression of the applicant's identity.
