The appeal and underlying claim concern AB’s treatment in Feltham Young Offenders’ Institution.
Held: admitted breaches of the rules relating to educational provision and oversight of AB’s removal from association did not lead to a breach of ECHR, art 3 or 8. However, AB’s removal from association did engage his rights under ECHR, art 8 – however, such an interference would have been justified as necessary and proportionate.
Ayesha Christie, Sarah Hannett and Daniel Squires QC were involved in this case.
