Persons who believe they are being detained or held unlawfully, may apply to the High Court for an order of habeas corpus under the Habeas Corpus Act 1782. This requires the person or institution detaining them to either produce the body of the person detained before the court or release that person from such detention. The expression ‘order of habeas corpus’ does not include an order made pursuant to Article 40 section 4 of the Constitution.
