- Court
- High Court
The applicant's detention was lawful because s15(1) of the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992 extended the assessment and treatment notice pending determination of the application for a compulsory treatment order; habeas corpus was not the appropriate process to challenge the substantive diagnosis and therefore the habeas corpus application must be dismissed.
