What is the meaning of the term ‘Habeas corpus’?
Correct Answer: You must present the person in court
Habeas corpus is Latin for "you must present the person in court".
The Habeas Corpus Act (1679) guaranteed that no one could be held prisoner unlawfully. Every prisoner has a right to a court hearing. This principle remains a cornerstone of British justice and the rule of law.
