(3) The review tribunal must proceed without delay to review all cases submitted to it. (4) At all hearings by the review tribunal, the detainees whose cases are being reviewed must be allowed to present their cases in person or, if they wish— (a) through legal practitioners assigned to them by the State at State expense; or (b) at their own expense, through legal practitioners of their choice. (5) The reference in subparagraph (1) to a ten-day period includes a reference to lesser periods of detention that amount to ten days, in the case of a detainee who is released within ten days after being initially detained and is then re-detained within ten days after that release. Recommendations of review tribunal 6. After reviewing a detainee’s case, the review tribunal may make written recommendations to the authority that ordered the detention as to whether or not the detainee should continue to be detained, and the authority must act in accordance with the tribunal’s recommendation. Released detainees not to be re-detained on same grounds 7. (1) A detainee who has been released from detention as a result of a report of the review tribunal that there is insufficient cause for the detention must not be detained again on substantially the same grounds as those on which he or she was originally detained. (2) For the purposes of this paragraph, a person is deemed to have been detained on the same grounds as those on which he or she was originally detained unless the review tribunal has reported that, in its opinion, there appear to be new and reasonable grounds for the detention. Preservation of detainees’ access to courts 8. This Schedule shall not be construed as limiting a detainee’s right to challenge in a court the lawfulness of his or her detention, whether or not his or her case is already before the review tribunal.
