In any proceeding under subsection d. of N.J.S.2A:67-13, the judge shall discharge the party in custody if the process was improperly or improvidently issued.
In any proceeding under subsection e. of N.J.S.2A:67-13, the person shall not be discharged unless found not to be dangerous to self or dangerous to others or to property, either by the judge, if the hearing is held without a jury, or by unanimous verdict of the jury.
