The court has refused to approve a Habeus Corpus application for prominent businessman Dominc Hadeed and his wife Genevierve Hadeed following their arrests earlier this week. The matter will instead be heard before a judge on Monday morning.

Dominic Hadeed and his wife were arrested on Wednesday after police executed search warrants at their Westmoorings home and business premises in Trincity.

Court documents show the couple’s attorney filed an application for the issue of a writ of habeas corpus before Justice Frank Seepersad on Saturday.
