WARAHI v CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS [2022] NZCA 105 [1 April 2022]

Citation

[2022] NZCA 105
Court

Court of Appeal

The warrants to detain produced by the Chief Executive demonstrated a lawful basis for the appellant's detention; the appellant failed to show the warrants were insufficient and his sovereign citizen/dual persona arguments are legally untenable, therefore the appeal is dismissed.

MITCHELL v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2016] NZHC 2148

Citation

[2016] NZHC 2148
Court

High Court

The application for habeas corpus was dismissed because the applicant was detained under an apparently regular warrant issued by a court of competent jurisdiction and s 14(2)(b) of the Habeas Corpus Act 2011 precludes the High Court from inquiring into that underlying judicial decision; the applicant must pursue her bail appeal.
