- High Court
Habeas corpus was an inappropriate procedure to challenge the Parole Board's decision; the applicant's proper remedies are statutory review under the Parole Act and judicial review, and the applicant remained lawfully detained under a valid District Court warrant, therefore the habeas corpus application was refused.
