- High Court
The High Court concluded Judge Mill was correct that Mr Burrows was not 'in custody' when the s 38(1) report was ordered, meaning the District Court lacked jurisdiction to trigger the CPMIP Act process; that the resulting procedural defect and delay justified a stay of the two charges to protect the respondent's rights and public confidence in the integrity of the judicial system.
