Question juridique clé
Whether the detention judge rightly refused to hear the release request as premature under the statutory waiting period.
Solution extraite
Yes. The release request was filed too early; no compelling reason justified departing from the 30-day waiting period, and the detainee had not duly shown a representative relationship at the hearing.
Motifs extraits
The file contained no power of attorney or other indication of representation. The appellant had also stated to police that he had no lawyer. He could and should have disclosed any representation at the detention hearing.
