REPIA v THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS [2021] NZHC 36
- Citation

- Court
- High Court
The applicant's detention is lawful because he is detained under a valid committal warrant and the 87 days spent in residential rehabilitation constitute time on bail and are excluded from the Parole Act's statutory definition of pre-sentence detention (s91) and by s95; therefore habeas corpus did not require release and the application is dismissed.
