Habeas corpus is the principal means under the common law for the protection of personal liberty. Dr Sharpe examines the nature of judicial review exercised on habeas corpus and explores the past, present and potential uses of the writ. The first part provides an historical introduction, briefly tracing the development of the writ from its origins to the 17th century when it took its modern form. The next five chapters all deal with various aspects of the nature of review which is available on habeas corpus. They aim to rationalize and to explain the various historical, constitutional and sometimes accidental factors which deal with more technical and procedural considerations peculiar to habeas corpus. While the book focuses on the law of England, there are extensive references to Australian, Canadian and New Zealand authorities.
