Breach of s9(2)(d) (failure to have a family/caregiver present for the explanation) occurred but was not flagrant or such as to render subsequent detention a nullity; the s12 certificate issued on 1 November was valid on its face and the patient was properly assessed as mentally disordered, therefore the detention was lawful and the habeas corpus application was dismissed.
