In which of the following cases did Lord Wright observe that "the incalculable value of habeas corpus is that it enables the immediate determination of the applicant's freedom" ?
Answer: C
The case is Greene v. Secretary of State for Home Affairs (1942).
Greene was detained during the Second World War under Regulation 18B of the Defence (General) Regulations, 1939 and applied for habeas corpus. The House of Lords decided his case alongside Liversidge v. Anderson, and Lord Wright's speech there stressed the value of habeas corpus as a means of having the legality of a detention decided at once.
The other cases are not about habeas corpus: Ng Yuen Shiu is a leading case on legitimate expectation, Trethowan concerns 'manner and form' requirements for legislation, and Bugdaycay is the asylum case known for 'anxious scrutiny'.
