Court found the 21 day sentence exceeded statutory power by six days but was imposed at the applicant's express request and served without evidence of material medical or managerial harm; technical breaches of regulations (failure to notify doctors, possible lapses in superintendent visits) did not amount to breaches of ss 9 or 23(5) NZBORA; declarations and compensation were refused and declaratory relief was unnecessary in the circumstances.
