Notorious bank robber and fugitive Brenden James Abbott (pictured left and right) is seeking to have his detention declared unlawful and is also suing the Western Australian government for wrongful imprisonment. Abbott, 62, who escaped from Fremantle Prison in 1989, claims that sentencing laws introduced in November 1996 do not apply to him and that his WA custodial sentence lapsed while he was in custody in Queensland.
