The ABC has the happy news that Justice Dyson Heydon of the High Court has turned down Mitchell Jacka’s efforts to prove the Sentence Administration Board is not able to turn periodic detention into regular detention following of breaches of orders.
- His lawyers argue the Board does not have the power to interfere with judicial decisions, under the Constitution and today took their case to the High Court.
Justice Dyson Heydon refused Jacka’s bail application, saying it failed to meet exceptional circumstances and remitted the case to the Supreme Court.
