- High Court
A District Court remand warrant issued 30 September 2021 provided a lawful basis for detention; the Department of Corrections lawfully detained the applicant pursuant to that warrant; allegations of mistreatment or administrative failings do not render the detention unlawful and should be pursued through complaints, the Ombudsman or other courts; habeas corpus is not the appropriate mechanism to contest the merits of the charge or upstream judicial decisions.
