If you are dealing with an application under the Habeas Corpus Act 2001 and something comes up that the Act does not cover, the High Court will handle it in a way that is as close as possible to what the Act says. The Court will also follow the High Court Rules 2016, as long as those rules do not contradict the Habeas Corpus Act 2001. You can find the High Court Rules 2016 at the High Court Rules 2016 link. The Court's decision will be based on what is consistent with the Act and the High Court Rules 2016. This means the Court will try to make a decision that fits with the rest of the Act.
