The High Court considered, I understand, a cohort of 92 individuals, and the writ was in relation to plaintiff NZYQ. In the absence of the High Court's reasons, which might contain nuance or be specifically tied to the facts of the case, can I just confirm that the reason that the additional 84 detainees were released—my understanding is it is now 84, as of today—was in fact because of your interpretation of what the High Court is likely to want?
