FORREST v TE WHATU ORA (HEALTH NEW ZEALAND) [2022] NZHC 2550
- Citation
- [2022] NZHC 2550
- Court
- High Court
The transfer was authorised by the statutory transfer provisions and did not require variation of the original court order; alleged procedural defects in the statutory review, even if established, do not invalidate the continuing validity of the detention order and are matters for the Review Tribunal or judicial review rather than habeas corpus. Therefore detention was not shown to be unlawful and the habeas corpus application must be dismissed.
