- High Court
The charges to which the applicant pleaded guilty were part of the proceedings commenced by the holding charges on 4 April 2012, therefore pre-sentence detention is to be credited from that date and the applicant's sentence ended on 4 June 2015; the court will declare that fact and give the Department an opportunity to release the applicant immediately or face a writ of habeas corpus.
