Latin for, “produce the body.” Fancypants for, “Why the heck am I here?” It’s an emergency (high priority) procedure in which you ask a judge to get someone in front of the court, along with a government representative. You then ask the government representative, “Why have you arrested / detained this person?” The judge then decides if that person still needs to be detained. Instead of waiting forever to get a court date, HC matters are typically moved to the front of the line.
