- High Court
The High Court held that the applicant's request to review District Court and Family Court files and the validity of a protection order is not a proper use of habeas corpus and, given the applicant is remanded under warrants until 10 October 2023, the application is an abuse of process and must be dismissed under s 15(1) of the Habeas Corpus Act 2001.
