R (on the application of AB) (Appellant) v Secretary of State for Justice (Respondent)
UKSC 2019/0155
On appeal from the Court of Appeal Civil Division (England and Wales)
THE COURT ORDERED that (1) no one shall publish or reveal the name or address of the Appellant who is the subject of these proceedings or publish or reveal any information which would be likely to lead to the identification of the Appellant or of any member of his family in connection with these proceedings and (2) there be liberty to apply.
The appellant, AB, was held in Feltham Young Offenders’ Institution when he was 15 years old. During this period, there were various breaches of the Young Offender Institution Rules 2000 relating to AB’s removal from association from other inmates and the provision of education to AB, who was of compulsory school age. AB brought judicial review proceedings before the High Court, alleging (i) that his treatment at the institution between 10 December 2016 and 2 February 2017 amounted to inhuman or degrading treatment, contrary to Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights; and (ii) that his removal from association with other inmates during this period breached his right to respect for his private life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The High Court dismissed his claim under Article 3 but allowed his claim in part under Article 8. The Court of Appeal dismissed AB’s appeal. AB now appeals to the Supreme Court, having been granted permission to appeal on the Article 3 issue.
The issue is:
Whether the Court of Appeal erred (i) in its approach to international materials and (ii) by failing to apply a ‘strict necessity’ test when determining whether the Respondent’s treatment of the Appellant during the first 55 days of his detention at Feltham Young Offenders’ Institution breached Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights?
The Supreme Court unanimously dismisses the appeal.
