The cumulative sentences form a notional single sentence under the Parole Act so the total exceeds 24 months and is long-term, rendering s86(1) inapplicable; given the substantial unexplained delay and the lack of merit in the proposed appeal, the Court refused to grant an extension of time.

Habeas corpus was inapt because the applicant was lawfully detained; the cumulative sentences combine into a notional single sentence under s75 Parole Act 2002, making the total an 11 year 2 month long-term sentence with expiry/release date determined by the last sentence (13 July 2015); therefore the application is dismissed and costs awarded for abuse of process.

Applying the CJA and the PA together, the Court found the applicant's release under s90 CJA was provisional and subject to recall; the cumulative one-year sentence formed a notional single sentence under s75 PA, producing a statutory release/expiry calculation that extended detention to 9 July 2006 with a varied final release date of 9 April 2006 under s106 PA; the conditions for recall under s60(2) PA were met, so detention was lawful and the habeas corpus application was dismissed.
