- Court of Appeal
The High Court did not err: the judge made a sufficient inquiry into background facts and law and correctly concluded under s14(1A) of the Habeas Corpus Act that a habeas corpus hearing was not an appropriate procedure because the issues (complex medical, social and cultural welfare matters) required considerable evaluation and were already before the Family Court; therefore refusal of the writ was justified and appeal is dismissed.
