They are entitled to challenge the lawfulness of their detention by applying for a writ of habeas corpus or by seeking judicial review.

Habeas Corpus is a Latin word meaning which literally means 'to have the body of'. It is an order issued by the court to a person who has detained another person, to produce the body of the latter before it. The court then examines the cause and legality of detention.

The Memorandum of Points of Authorities is a legal memorandum, which contains the legal arguments of the defendant.
