84 Proof that person is prisoner or detainee
(1) If in any proceedings a question arises whether a person is, or was, at any particular time, a prisoner or detainee, it is sufficient for a party to the proceedings to prove that that person is, or was, at the time in question, a person in fact ordinarily dealt with as a prisoner or detainee under this Act without any other proof.
(2) The onus of proving the contrary to what is mentioned in subsection (1) is on the other party to the proceedings.
