- Court of Appeal
The detention was lawful because it was pursuant to valid warrants of commitment; therefore habeas corpus could not succeed. Leave to appeal was granted due to appellants' demonstrated delay in receipt of the High Court judgment, but the appeal was dismissed on the merits; furthermore, treating a habeas corpus application as judicial review requires a positive, case‑specific determination of the interests of justice to prevent abuse of process.
