An offender "should not have spent 58 days" in jail because of "a failure of the system", but his claim for more than $200,000 in damages was dismissed in the ACT Supreme Court.
Atem Deng, 35, appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court in April 2019 for a charge of damage property.
The magistrate at the time made a special interim family violence order that prohibited the plaintiff from engaging in certain conduct "until all related charges are finalised".
