- Court of Appeal
The appeal is dismissed because at the date of the hearing the appellant was lawfully detained pursuant to a valid s 14 certificate; habeas corpus was not an appropriate summary remedy given the staged nature of Part 1, intervening material and available statutory safeguards, and the Court will only grant habeas corpus in exceptional clear-cut cases where undisputed facts show no reasonable grounds for mental disorder.
