Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant, a police sergeant, sought to stay his detention order through an urgent chamber application in the High Court while pursuing review proceedings. The High Court dismissed the application, finding the appellant could not seek review after appealing to the Commissioner-General and could not challenge the detention order without questioning the Commissioner-General's decision.
