The application was dismissed because section 14(2) of the Habeas Corpus Act 2001 bars using habeas corpus to challenge a conviction or Court of Appeal refusal of special leave, and the applicant's filing amounted to impermissible re-litigation of earlier proceedings; the applicant is lawfully detained following conviction by a competent court.
