A vehicle door latch mechanism 10 having a latch bolt 14 adapted to releasably secure a striker, in use, the latch bolt 14 being pivotably mounted to a chassis of the latch mechanism 10 and movable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the latch mechanism further includes a detent mechanism adapted to releasably maintain the latch bolt 14 in the open position. By providing such a detent mechanism the need for a dedicated latch bolt return spring is eliminated
