peer agreement (net): +1next date for the habeas corpus petition Explanation: I'm assuming that you are translating a piece about a prisoner being released. "Haftprüfung" means the review of a detention order (US), or a review of remand in custody (UK). This is also know as habeas corpus. See below for an explanation. Your choice of whether to use the latin term or not depends on your exact document (use latin if it's very formal). What they mean here is that the next date on which the detention order will be reviewed is Jan. 23, 2003. Check out: HABEAS CORPUS - Lat. "you have the body" Prisoners often seek release by filing a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. A writ of habeas corpus is a judicial mandate to a prison official ordering that an inmate be brought to the court so it can be determined whether or not that person is imprisoned lawfully and whether or not he should be released from custody. A habeas corpus petition is a petition filed with a court by a person who objects to his own or another's detention or imprisonment. The petition must show that the court ordering the detention or imprisonment made a legal or factual error. Habeas corpus petitions are usually filed by persons serving prison sentences. In family law, a parent who has been denied custody of his child by a trial court may file a habeas corpus petition. Also, a party may file a habeas corpus petition if a judge declares her in contempt of court and jails or threatens to jail her" Reference: http://www.lectlaw.com/def/h001.htm |
