Fajr Ellis, R (on the application of) v Secretary of State for Justice

The restrictions and operational impediments imposed by the prison did not impair the essence of the appellant's right to education under Article 2 of Protocol 1 ECHR; the appellant had adequate access to educational facilities and support, and any limitations were proportionate and justified by security concerns. The refusal to allow amendment of the claim to include post-issue incidents was lawful and consistent with judicial review principles.

Fajr Ellis, R (on the application of) v Secretary of State for Education & Anor

The challenge to the 2016 Regulations was out of time and, even if in time, would fail as the distinction in loan provision for prisoners is justified and proportionate. The general restrictions on access to education in prison were operational, not systemic, and did not breach A2P1 or Article 14. The decision to remove the Claimant's Chromebook was procedurally unfair, failed to consider relevant evidence, and was not justified on the facts, thus unlawful as a matter of domestic public law, but did not amount to a breach of A2P1.
