- Court of Appeal
Parole special conditions of a released prisoner do not amount to 'detention' for the purposes of the Habeas Corpus Act in the present circumstances; and even if construed as a restraint, the restraint was lawful because the sentence expiry date was validly calculated and the Parole Board had statutory authority to impose conditions; habeas corpus is therefore not available and the appeal is dismissed.
